Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A great game for older folks in the party
A great game for older folks in the party that might otherwise avoid the Wii.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Easily fixable flaws
Me and the wife haven't gotten bored with this game so far in the week that we've had it. Its pretty fun, but there are some minor issues that would make this game so much better if they spent a little more time with it.

I don't understand why on contestant's row or in the final showcase they have such little videos to show the products to bid on. Its hard to get a good feel of what kind of car or how much detail was put into the lamp you're bidding on.

The graphics could use some work because their movements are pretty laughable, and god forbid you want your contestant to be a african-american male because it doesn't come with one.

My major complaint is with the showcase showdown. It took about 10 tries on that wheel before I ever made it to the final showcase. Spin .75 or .85? They'll get .90 cents. Spin a dollar on your turn? They'll beat you in a spinoff. Impossible odds with the wheel, expect quite a few losses before you get through.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Fun but has some limitations
This game is fun but not the best. My biggest complaint is that you have to share one remote when playing with multiple players. That does take some fun out of the game. Also I have only played 5 games now and I am already seeing repeat items. If you keep your expectations low you will be satisfied.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Come on Down!
What has made the TV game show an iconic part of American pop culture is the ease in "playing" at home; the way contestants win prizes is not difficult to follow and it essentially involves counting and/or matching numbers, as if you are out shopping for the items.

This game does not try to add any catchy technology to the successful daily show - which is a huge positive or negative - depending if one feels that bells and whistles are necessary to bolster a product. By not deviating from the TV show, though, the game is easy to play and something for the whole family, which is a huge selling point.

There is room in this faster-paced age of video games to have one that takes a cue from old-school board games and delivers some old-fashioned fun. This may be the closest one will get to "Contestants' Row," but it has the feel of the real thing.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great for Price is Right fans!
Great selection of games. Just like the real thing! Could be a better selection of characters.
