Overview

Description

It's 1972. A dapper young man in a dashing suit named Bob Barker appears on stage to introduce an all-new game show that has America talking. Around the country, families are adjusting their rabbit ears, trying to catch every glimpse of the flashing lights. But you are right in the center of the action. You feel the buzz of the crowd, you see the bright colors of the set and catch a whiff of that new-car smell. Suddenly, it's your turn to "come on down." Are you ready to show off your shopping savvy and prove your passion for prices in front of millions of adoring fans? Will you make it all the way to Showcase Showdown and win the prize of a lifetime? That all depends on one thing — if The Price is Right.The Price is Right: Decades invites you to step back into the glory days of gameshow TV. The days when Bob Barker was king of the tube. The days when your grandparents watched contestants place their bids on groovy new products like that bold orange refrigerator and snazzy turquoise vacuum cleaner. Yes, it's your turn to come on down to the '70s and play the pricing games that started it all — and then work your way back to the present to go for the ultimate modern-day Showcase. Decades takes you on a journey through the generations as you play more than 40 timeless pricing games from the game show that's held a place in America's heart for four decades. Whether you take the stage alone, bid against your friends or even take on grandma and grandpa, you'll feel like you're really on the set as your Xbox 360 Avatar races down the aisle and into the game. And when you need a break from the grueling competition, you can always turn to the number-one way to relax — watching classic The Price is Right moments — right in this game's bonus video library. As you embark on your Decades journey, just remember two things: don't bid too high, and please, spay and neuter your pet.

Fun single player for a Price is Right fan

First off, this game is not great, but its okay and fun to play for a Price is Right fan. Its missing any authentic voices go no Drew Carey, Bob Barker or George Gray so a lot of the the presentation factor is lacking because of that. But the biggest miss is the way the multiplayer works, both local and on Xbox Live. It skips over big chunks of the show and pushes everyone through to the end no matter how you are doing in the game. The single player is certainly better as long as you understand you are playing an episode each from the 40 years of the Price is Right. The values really change a lot so you have to pay attention to what year show you are playing. Getting to play through the episodes having to win to get up on stage, to all the different pricing games, the wheel (this could have been better), and then the showcase is fun. Bad as a party game, but fun for a single player Price is Right fan.

Bought this game before reviews came out and I guess I am not the only one disappointed with this one. You can't bid your own price, you have to select one of the choices given, same thing for the showcase. You only get to play one pricing game throughout the game. Not worth it at this price.

This game was absolutely awful. It has no redeeming characteristics at all. Bad graphics. Bad game. Not even remotely fun.

I was expecting something different. You play games from the different decades which is understood. I used to be pretty good at the pricing in the 90's. However, trying figuring out the price of something from the 70's without some online help was frustrating. A current period game would be better.

this game was not a "current times" game at all, even though it was for the entire scope of the TV series, it was boring and dull
