The Price is Right Game - New 2nd Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I swear that the previous reviews must be for a different version of this game. I bought mine at Toys 'R US and haven't looked at it after the first attempt to play it.
I was a little skeptical after seeing that most of the games were card based, but I figured that they would at least be fun. And......the ones that we played through were entertaining. But, the ridiculous amount of setup needed for each game is just plain wrong I think it can be chalked up to the company being lazy or looking to cut costs.
The problem is that the "host" for the game has to pick each prize or product being used for each pricing game. This would be fine if they had printed the items on tokens or cards. But instead every single item is included in a prize booklet. Basically before each game you have to go through the booklet and pick the items based on their price level. For example, if you are picking grocery products, you have to write each down on the blanks cards used in the game. The same is done for the game prizes, items up for bid, and the showcases. To "help" the instructions suggested marking each prize/product used with a pencil in the booklet to make sure they aren't used twice.
When we played this game, we didn't want to just go down the line and pick the items in the order they were listed. So it took a LOT of time in between each segment of the game. It killed any potential fun in playing the games.
I suggest that anyone picking this up, be prepared to make up your own rules to get any mileage out of this game. I think it could have been potentially enjoyable, if they had simply included a few decks of prize cards in place of the booklet. They don't even have to have pictures, just text.

The Price Is Right DVD Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Recently, I started to become a TPIR Fan by noticing how clever and creative the games on the show has become. Add the fun with contestants, a host, and prizes, its why TPIR is still on CBS for 34 years.
You'll miss the comfort of interaction with Bob Barker, but considering that TPIR has not had any video game since a terrible 90 Commodor 64 game, this DVD came at the right time
when DVD's are added to the board game (no computer needed).
The game is complete with 6 whiteboards, 4 markers to write down the total prices.
They couldn't put all 40+ games they have done, but I love these games: 5 Price Tags, Cliff Hangers, Danger Price, Golden Road, Grand Game, Lucky 7, Most Expensive, Pass The Buck, Plinko, Push Over, Safe Crackers, and Shell Game.
Also, you can bid on Contestant Row's Products, spin Showcase Showdown's wheel, and compete in the final round selecting multiple choice to be "closer than the actual retail price without going over!"
*Pro: Easy set up, still shots of real products, great 3D view of the game show set, fun games that anyone can play, host explains instructions, play any part of the show, add a few video clips from the show, and 3D views of these games! All the wonderful music, graphics, and models are from the show!
*Con: Can't control the speed of the wheel, Todd Newton's voice and some of the price results are displayed too fast, different annoucners are used (Rich Fields, Rod Rodey, and Burton Richardson), and I've heard from others about control function problems. Finally, Bob Barker's not in it, although they hired Todd Newton, a great replacement.
Overall, this can be taken to a party with a DVD player, and everyone can play it with no set up. Although it's the first version, remember that a DVD can only contain so much and they certainally put a lot of effort into this game! I'd rather play this type of game on a TV, than installing a PC Game that may even still stall, or play TPIR's complex board game where someone has to read all the instructions before hand and know how to set up the game pieces, taking a lot of time.
