3.0 out of 5 stars A for Effort, C for Execution, October 28, 2009
= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Press Your Luck (Video Game)
Press Your Luck is probably one of the most popular game shows of the 1980s, but despite this, there hadn't been an official software version of the game for over two decades until Ludia launched Press Your Luck 2010, part of a suite of game show adaptations by the company. Ludia's version of Price is Right was relatively well received by casual and hard core game show fans alike (despite what some reviews on Amazon may say), so I was disappointed to see that they missed the mark a little bit with this release.

First, the good. The show's primary draw, the Whammy, is faithfully reproduced with over 50 Whammy animations. This includes some newly-created Whammys (mostly hilarious) as well as throwbacks to some Whammys used on the original show. It shows the designers "did their homework". The gameplay is nearly identical to that of the original show as well. The question round has been simplified somewhat to make all questions multiple choice (in the original, the... Read more

My wife and I think this game is fun to play together as a casual experience. It isn't a verious serious or difficult game, but does a good job recreating a game show experience. It is way better for multi-player than Price is Right which was really horrible for 2 players. This one is a better format because you both play through the full game to the end.

There are 2 rounds of questions then spinning for money on the board. The questions are rather easy, but I've never had a repeat yet and I've played it about 15 times. But apparently others have hit repeats early (it is probably random, so always a chance). Multiple choice is normally fairly obvious unless you just don't know the subject matter. So we do not get everything right, but you get more points for buzzing in first, so you'll do better to buzz in early. To be fair so everybody gets some spins, we play nice and at least let the other person rack up some spins. It could be to their harm too because too many... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Games missing critical details, feels rushed to market, January 3, 2010

I bought PYL for my wife for Christmas, and was also interested because we were both such big fans as kids back in the day. My wife likes the game fine, but for me, there are a few things that make it disappointing.

First and foremost is the boop-boop-boop that plays when you're pressing your luck. On the TV show, the contestant would wait to press the button to stop the cursor on the big board, and you'd hear the constant boop-boop-boop until the contest yelled STOP and hit the button. The booping only happens for a few seconds, and all that's left is applause. The reality is that the applause would last a few seconds, and the booping would be what lasted. That and the sound of sweat dripping from the contestant's forehead. The booping helped keep the tension going, and that was a huge part of the game. Maybe I'm a bit overconcerned, but the point of this game is nostalgia, and that's the sort of thing that's important.

Also, the multiple choice for the... Read more
