RIP Peter Tomarken and Rod Roddy. This game needed you.

[@Angie2343]

@charles allan yup.

[@AlolaMasked]

Personally I'm fine with the new version.

[@Angie2343]

@@AlolaMasked Why?

[@AlolaMasked]

@@Angie2343 I liked the newer Whammies as much as the old ones, plus mrs banks is a charming host even though a lot of people know her for voicing Lucy/Wildstyle in the Lego movie. Plus, I liked the new changes to the show like the bonus round and personalized prizes. And overall I like that the whammies have more references to famous stuff such as It, The Bachelor, Family Feud, Snow White, and some old whammies.

[@undisputedchaos3444]

I just did the 20 episode play through of this myself. I used to love this show as a kid so I was happy to see it here. I thought this game was a great representation of the actual show and the Whammys are so adorable (unless you're the one that landed on it).

[@todaygaming5009]

The press your luck pilot theme on the Wii version should've also been on the PS3 version

[@davidellis3411]

I'm not sure what to make of this game. They didn't use the classic PYL theme (they used the pilot music instead), there's no sound on the Whammies, and when you hit Big Bucks, it takes you to the Trip square instead of Square #4, where the largest cash amount actually is. It's like the game programmers didn't even watch an episode of the show, they just saw bits and pieces while channel surfing.

[@lojosol]

The sad thing is they reached out to many fan forums to get input on how the mechanics of the game were and its as if they threw all that feedback out the window

[@ultmswag3170]

They’re actually are sounds of the whammy but they are so low

[@Bowling4986]

Well Ludia did do millionaire justice and actually got the mechanics right so just play that instead.

[@Bowling4986]

Big bucks has taken me to 5000 and a spin before.

[@JonesDylan874]

Well, the PS3 release later on fixed some of those issues, by adding a cover of the real PYL theme, a looping board sound, (it still truncates the first half), and more diverse prizes.

The company made a Whammy itself because the Big Bucks always takes the winner of it to the highest money space on the Big Board, not the Vacay spot. 1001 Pardons for that error.

[@checkerboi8563]

Bruh, this game scares me, but im slowly getting over my fear.

[@MorganNye]

Why does it scare you

[@AlolaMasked]

Why exactly does it scare you? Is it a fear of hitting a Whammy?

[@AlexPerrine]

Some of these whammies should be added to the 2019 version

[@3SF2024]

Advance Two Spaces? Would It Be Move One Space Because There's Big Bucks?

[@somerandomgameranimator4481]

But if it is move one space then you could choose a whammy or a trip and there are no whammies on move one spaces

[@goanimate3556]

WHAT THE HECK. 7:36 THE BB IS $1500 NOT A TRIP. GET IT RIGHT

[@ShadowLinkxMaster]

Goanimate 355 This is because the trips are the highest valued on the board. Which is stupid, the big bucks square should always be the fourth square.

I just noticed you can Michael Larson this game as the Middle top and middle right squares always have money + 1 spin which is what Michael Larson was able to amass $110,000 on the actual game show by hitting.

[@GTron13]

Actually, the game board has no pattern, however you can still Michael Larson this, well, technically.... While spinning the board in either round, keep a close eye on the top square. If it reads $1,000 (Round 1) or $3000 + One Spin, (Round 2) stop the board! You are guaranteed to not hit a Whammy.

[@GTron13]

@Sheldon Cooper Yea I saw that. Bc of integer overflow the game converted it to a negative number. (the game developers should've made the score integer an unsigned value)

[@cthewave9955]

If you really want to "Michael Larson" this version, get a Game Genie 🤣🤣

[@somerandomgameranimator4481]

@@GTron13 but the $1,000 and $3,000 + Spin boards have low money spaces

[@GTron13]

​@@somerandomgameranimator4481 With the fact that you won't get whammies, the lower money amounts outweigh the risk of the higher money amounts. Not to mention, your opponents will most often always land on a whammy, and you can also sabotage their turn. (if you press A to skip, the first thing they land on will be whatever the light was on when you skipped; use it for the slides where whammies are all over the board for better effects)

[@undisputedchaos3444]

So, this one wasn't as fun to listen to as the other gameplay that was on video.

Same trip as he won before? Same value. blah...blah. I'm hoping this is more fun for the players than it was for me.
