I just got the 2010 version of TPIR and LOVED it, it has twice as many games as before, and took out the X on the wheel. Very fun…

I’m a lifelong fan of The Price is Right, so I was very excited to get my hands on a copy of the 2010 edition of the home game. I own the previous edition, which is fun. However, its reply value was hampered by its selection of only 16 games. Another problem with the previous edition is that the same prizes reappear quite frequently, which lessens the suspense and makes the games too easy after awhile. The 2010 edition solves both of those problems, increasing the number of games to 30 and greatly expanding the number and variety of prizes. Replay value is now very good.
Most of the games transfer smoothly from the television show to the computer/gaming console. Favorites like 3 Strikes, Grocery Game, and Plinko do a good job of simulating the studio experience, with screaming crowds, bright colors, and classic Price is Right music cues. The 2010 edition offers slightly upgraded graphics, the option to create avatars, and the ability to “unlock” games after completing certain challenges. Unlocking pricing games gives you access to classic Price is Right videos, new wardrobe choices for your avatar, and allows you to play the game whenever you want without having to earn your way up on stage.
Not too many quibbles. There still could be more prizes, particularly in the showcase, where prizes still repeat too much. I’m greedy and would like even more pricing games. And, as a previous reviewer said, some of the grocery item descriptions are obviously product placement ads and become annoying after awhile.
Overall, good job. For fans of The Price is Right, it’s a fun trip down memory lane and provides a chance to “come on down” to experience some of the action and excitement of the real show.

I’m glad they included more games and took the “3 Strikes” rule out of the showcase showdown. But it’s still pretty much the same game that still fun to play and an improvement over the previous one.

Only Flaw With This Game Is You Can’t Play With Two Players Offline. But Other Than that If You Love The Show On TV You’ll Love Playing It At Home

I bought this game because I enjoy the show and thought it would be fun to give it a try. It is just like the show, in that if you don’t get the prices right, you don’t advance off of contestant’s row. The graphics are decent and the sound is good, although it runs pretty slowly even on a computer that far exceeds the recommended requirements. Some of the prices seem way off, but then again, they sometimes do on TV too. During the pricing games, if you click on something by mistake, it doesn’t give you a chance to finalize your answer, you get locked in. Some of the product descriptions are like watching TV commercials, and you cannot skip through. It seems like you’ve paid $20 for an advertisement with some game on the side. I’d suggest you save your money and watch the show for free.
