iToys Inc Price Is Right Electronic Tabletop Game Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have two components to my review...first one of the product, then a separate one on the seller, in this case amazon.com.
There have been several home games for The Price is Right, both the older Bill Cullen version and the revamped Bob Barker/ Dennis James et. al. version. It's a tough game to capture in a box...the editions that I have really require a lot of setup. We really liked the recent Endless Games version, but we spent more time in set up than in playing the actual game, so it hasn't left the cabinet in a while.
Irwin Toys electronic games are, with the exception of the dreadful "Family Feud" electronic game, pretty good, and this is no exception. The show's most popular games are included. Everything from items up for bid, to the pricing games themselves and the showcases are represented on cards. The players type in a numeric code, and you simply play along. It works quite well. My only problem is that when the digital text is rolling on the screen it really cannot be read, which is important when there are numbers that you need. That needs improved if they produce another edition. Clock game is a bit goofy, but after several plays we nailed it...it simply requires as much concentration as it does on the show. Of course, the hit in our house is Plinko. Owners should make sure you keep a baggie to keep the Plinko chips in.
My only beef with this product is from Amazon.com. The price for this thing fluctuated like a yo-yo. I bought it at what I thought was a good price, only for it to go down another $5 overnight. As amazon has done away with its noble price protection, they would not credit that difference. But as the price I paid was half off suggested retail, I'm not to miffed. I just suggest that amazon.com look at reviewing their price-protection policy again, as their decision makes me a bit wary.
If you like TPIR, grab a copy of this. You'll really like it...a great way to spend a few hours.

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.

Match Game DVD Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Best of Match Game DVD Collection
This is a fun party game, especially for people of the generation that watched this gameshow on TV back in the 70's. I was a little disappointed the music wasn't the funkiest version, but a tamer one. It also felt a little slow paced. Not sure why there are freeze frames of the panel members- you hear the audio but their image is frozen- a minor distraction.
There are 25 versions to play- once you've done them all you're not likely to play any of them again so this is perhaps good for one or two (drinking) games- still making it a good value.
