My personal opinion? I love the game! The detail and work Ludia has put into recreating TPiR over the last couple of years has been amazing. Now if they could only add more games and prizes!

Montreal, Canada, November 18, 2008 - Interactive entertainment company Ludia and FremantleMedia Enterprises (FME), the brand extension arm of The Price Is Right™ producer FremantleMedia, today announced the launch of The Price Is Right game on the Apple App Store. Based on the highly successful television game show, iPhone and iPod touch owners can now "COME ON DOWN" anytime, anyplace for their shot in Contestant’s Row, to bid on items in 16 different pricing games, to test their luck with spinning The Big Wheel, and experience the winner-takes-all tension of the Showcase Showdown.
Gamezebo offers a review:
Every detail in the iPhone is truly representative of the television version, from Contestant Row to the Showcase Showdown. The game features 16 (count them) popular pricing games, including Plinko, Cliff Hangers, Punch-A-Bunch and Hole In One.
To mix things up, Ludia includes 3 game modes:.
- Three Strikes: Play solo through multiple shows while avoiding strikes to rack up the biggest winnings.
- Classic Game: Play game sequences as seen on TV for a “true-to-show” experience.
- Party Game: Pass n’ play fun for up to four players with the winner determined by the cumulative value of prizes earned during the game
The Price is Right game for the iPhone is $4.99 and is already a Top 10 Paid App on the iTunes Store. In a directory of thousands of iPhone games that look like some developer coded the app in one hour or less to make a quick buck, it’s nice to see a developer like Ludia willing to put the time and effort to create a high quality iPhone game. Depending on how big a fan you are of the TV show, you can decide whether that price is right or wrong for the game app.
My personal opinion? I love the game! The detail and work Ludia has put into recreating TPiR over the last couple of years has been amazing. Now if they could only add more games and prizes!
