The Price is Right

Come on down! How often I have thought to myself, "I could totally play The Price is Right and win in no time", well here's my chance, and yours, too! The Price is Right (PIR) game found in the AppStore is the mobile version of the popular, and longest running, game show on television. I have to start by saying that this game looks sharp. The makers very easily could have given us some cheap flash-based version of this game, but they definitely spent some time and effort in developing this game. The visuals very much remind me of the Sims. The game runs in several rounds. First you play in Contestants Row to guess the price of the item they show you. If your guess is the closest, then you move one, if your guess is wrong, you get one "X" on your score card (you can get 3 "Xs" before the game is over) but you still continue through to the next round. In the next round, you play one of the classic PIR games (Plinko, Hi Lo, Pass the Buck, etc.). Whether you win any money here or not does not give you an "X" on your score card. The next round is the Showcase Showdown where you get to spin the Big Wheel. Get closest to $1 without going over and you win. If you lose at this round you do get an "X". From there, you play another classic PIR game, with no "X"s. Then you get to bid on the showcase. If your bid is closest to the actual price of your showcase, then you win! Get it wrong, then you get an "X". In all, this game is extremely entertaining, especially if you are a huge fan of the show (like I am). Albeit there is no Bob Barker to greet you, there is a voice that talks to you during the game that acts like the host. This game is currently $.99 in the AppStore, but for a limited time! So come on down and download this app today!
