COME ON DOWN!...The Price Is Right video game puts all the excitement of TV's longest-running and most popular game show in the palm of your hand as it makes its debut on the Nintendo Wii. Experience all of the classic moments from the show with up 4 people. You will hear your name called as you're announced to "Come on Down!" to Contestant's Row. Play all of the favorite pricing games, including Plinko, Cliff Hangers and Punch-A-Bunch. Spin the Wheel for the chance at the big prizes in the Showcase Showdown.  | Key Game Features: - Real Moments From the Show - Rich Fields will tell you to "Come on Down" as you start an authentic Price is Right experience. The actual music and sounds of the show are used in the game. Additionally, classic video footage of The Price is Right models will introduce the games and items up for bid.
- Play All the Best Pricing Games - Make your way out of Contestant's Row and compete to take home the big money in the Showcase Showdown through a selection of games including:.

- Cliffhangers: Win a prize and save Hans. Guess the price of four retail items, but don't miss by more than a total of $25 or Hans the Hiker climbs right over the cliff.
- Flip Flop: Flip the first two numbers? Flop the second two? Or flip-flop both? Guess right and you're one fabulous prize richer.

Fun but it starts to get old! November 14, 2008
I really could not wait to get the game but once I got it home and played it I was not at all impressed. The game is fun but I hate the fact you have to use 1 remote when you are playing with 2 people. I would buy this used or wait till it has gone down in price some.....
 Not even worth $19.99 November 13, 2008
My first real problem with this game is the graphics. They are absolutely horrible. It is obvious that they used Primates to model the people. They move like chimps. They would have been better off using the Mii people.
Next problem...the graphics again. The items you bid on are not always clear, esp. on Contestants Row.
This game will get boring real fast. It's so cheesy that I can't believe they didn't take time to work on it more. It could have used about 50% more work before going on the market. Save your money and buy something else.

Gave it to my son-in -law for his birthday. Him and his boys love it. Really fun to play. The Kids love it too.

This game is fairly fun, especially getting to play classic pricing games and getting to see classic moments in videos, but it needed more work before it was released. Spinning the wheel isn't as intuitive or fun as it should be with the Wii's motion sensing capabilities. It also needed Bob Barker and/or Drew Carey as host instead of Rich Fields. Rich is good for the Showcase, but otherwise, he's no fun. The game should have used Miis instead of pre-packaged characters who cycle names too often for contestants. Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection should have also been implemented to allow updates to prizes in the future. Finally, the pricing games should not have been changed as much as they were, especially It's in the Bag and Check-Out.
I've only played the game a few times since I purchased it, for various reasons, but I'll likely only pick it up occasionally in the future. It's definitely a rental only.
Good enough if you're partying with friends! October 20, 2008
There is a lot that needs to be added to this game but if you are partying with friends this game is awesome. The game itself is not played like the TV show so the play is pretty fast and keeps the excitement going.
Multiple players bid on an item to get on stage and after the winner makes it on stage and plays a game then another player automatically gets on stage and plays a game. Once all the players have played a game on stage they all go to spin the big wheel. The top two players play the final round and then the game is over.
Like I said it is great for parties because people are not waiting very long for the next game to start but it would be nice if every player had to earn their way onto the stage like the TV show.
