Pyramid - Wii Game (Retro Fam)

My family likes to watch re-runs of Pyramid almost every night before we go to bed. We were elated to find this game, and I promptly bought it for my mom's birthday. Overall we didn't really enjoy the game at all, I think we played it twice. It doesn't have any of the real qualities that make the show great. You may like the game, but don't expect it to be like the old TV show.

I used to watch tons of game shows with my grandma when I was younger and she loved The 1,000,000 Pyramid game. I didn't quite understand it then and thought it was hard but now that I'm older I get it and think its fun. I wasn't sure how they would make it into a Wii game but it works and its still the game people love. You start out picking a category and it will tell you the title. Then you start to get clues just like the show and you can Answer or Pass. When you answer a keyboard pops up and you start clicking on the letters and words pop up so you don't necessarily have to spell the whole word but can click on it. You can also Pass on the questions but you do have to come back to them to win, but you are on a time limit. I realized that I am not so good at this game and need a lot of practice! You compete again the computer or another person and you win hairstyles, clothes, and accessories to dress your character in. Overall, the game is a great game to play to de-stress and I think it will be fun to play against an actual person, unfortunately my husband hasn't played it with me yet. I actually think my mom would really like it too! It is a simple game but still there are awards and over 800 categories with over 4800 words.
