I love to watch games shows on tv. I first went to [...] and played a sample of these games, although their game play isn't exactly what you would play on the DS version. I had to have this game. I bought it the day it was released, and played it and had a really fun time. Although, it's only you may only want to play for about 30-45 minutes at a time, just because its sort of the same thing, just different questions. Here's my description of the game.
You start off and there is about 20 boxes, each box contains a "level" to play, you have to play through them and win that level to play the next. Also, after winning each level, you unlock a new item, whether it being a hair style, a new shirt, etc. And, it seems to me, that each level, the other 2 contestants seem to get just a tab bit smarter, so that part helps the game to last longer if you ask me. Because it makes it just a little harder.
Game play is very easy. Only negative part about the game play to me was when you are doing trivia questions, it pops up the question and it doesn't seem like you have very long to even read the question before buzzing in. So a lot of times I buzz in as soon as it pops up, that way if I'm right I get the most spins anyhow. Because even without buzzing in, you're required to give an answer to every question, if you didn't buzz first, you'll just get 1 spin if you answer correctly. After all your trivia is done, and you have your spins you can watch the other players or hit 'skip' to not watch them. (You can hit skip when they do their trivia as well). The spinning is just as fun, and just like on the real game show. Except I try not to say "Big bucks, No whammies" for the sake of embarrassment from my husband. When you do hit a Whammy, they do their little animations across the bottom screen of the DS, several different ones too. But remember, if you get 4 whammies in one game, you're out!
All in all, the game is very fun, I enjoy it and I do go back and play it after a few hours has gone by. It's just not an intense game that you're stuck playing it for 5 hours straight, instead, you just keep coming back for more doses. :-)

This is a great game,I got it for christmas.It is played just like the real game,the only downside being that the music is a bit different and there is only 20 missions.But I didn't think about it.

Press Your Luck should not be rated E for Everyone. What it should be rated is: Adults Only 18+. It should be rated Adults Only 18+ because of the hard questions in the game. There are a lot of Whammies in Press Your Luck and Every time you get a Whammy, all of your money is gone. You are allowed to get 4 Whammies in Press Your Luck. If you or your opponents get 4 Whammies, the game is over. The game does have a -1 Whammy. This means that one of your Whammies are gone. If you get another Whammy, you will lose all of your money again. If somebody else wins the game, you will not win the game. It will say sorry if you lose. It will say winner if you win the game. You can unlock hairstyles and clothes after you win Press Your Luck and there are only 20 TV Shows in Press Your Luck.

I bought this game thinking it would be as much fun and as funny as the gameshow is/was. I played it without ever cracking a smile. It just doesn't do justice to the gameshow. The game play itself isn't exciting, neither is the Wammy action. Buy something else. Sorry.

THE GAME DOES NOT GIVE YOU ENOUGH TIME TO READ THE QUESTION BEFORE IT GOES TO THE PLACE WHERE EVERYONE CAN ANSWER. IT WAS OKAY.

I love this game on TV and this DS game is close to it. I have played it and played it until i just had to take a break. The whamys are cute but there are only 3 or 4 differnt ones, that's it. The people you play can kick you butt if your not careful and some are sneaky. I have not tried to link up with another DS, so i am not sure if you can or if the other person needs to have the same game. But all in all i liked it. The graphics are not the best, but good enough for me. It is fun and easy to pass the time with.

GREAT GAME.......LOTS OF QUESTIONS.....THE WAMMY ANTICS ARE FUNNY JUST LOKE ON TV...ONLY COMPLAINT THEY COULD ENLARGE THE QUESTIONS....THE LETTERS ARE VERY SMALL....OTHERWISE AN EXCELLENT GAME

I enjoy the game very much. Anyone who loves to playing games on their DS will enjoy this game to keep them busy
