True to the Board Game

The Game of Life is as true to the board game as it could get. I remember playing this game and spinning the plastic wheel to determine how many spaces to move ahead. The PlayStation enhancemnets include a brief "movie" describing what just happened as you land on a square (i.e. your wife/husband comes out of the Church and "leaps" into your car after you land on the "Get Married" square.) This game is just plain fun, doesn't require much thought, and the regular game can be played in about 20 minutes, not hours like a PlayStation Monopoly game. Overall, an excellent game that can be enjoyed by all ages.

Wonderful game of life!

I found this game to be very enjoyable! I especially loved the graphics! If you are looking for a game with great graphics "the game of life" would be my pick! Also, it's simular to the board game, "LIFE." One thing I didnt really enjoy about the game was how it takes awhile to fiish playing the game(about an hour). If you have a lot of time on your hands BUY IT! Over all it was great!

The best game I've played so far

I liked this game because I like the way the people look, it's really funny. You can play it by yourself with a computer player or with your friends. My favorite part of the game is when you get married and have a baby and the expression of the baby is the same as the mom or the dad!! They all look alike! I've had the game for awhile and still enjoy playing it--if my mom will let me play it everyday, I would!

as good as the board game itself

I had this game for a couple years now and is still a favorite. Everytime my 8 year old neice comes over, she always wants to play it. You can have from 1-6 people playing at one time and choice from the classic game or the enhanched game (both are fun). Bottom line- it's a great game!

Life is fun!

Life is a great Playstation game. It does a great job of taking the memories of the board game and incorporating them into a video game. The game moves pretty quickly and with the ability to turn off the movies that appear after each move increases the pace of the game. It is great to see the diversity of the characters who represent you, but more selections would be great. Also, being able to select who you marry would be nice. Fun for everyone.

This game is like the board game, but way more exciting, you can play against the computer or against your friends. If you like life you will like this game, you have to play for a little while, but it's worth it, and there are 2 different modes you can play in. Oh I wouldn't get rid of this game EVER.

loads of laughs

This is a great game with great graphics that is a lot of fun. It is perfect for those times when you just want to play a game that you do not have to concentrate too much. Great game for unwinding after a hard day's work. Kids will like it too.

The Game of Life is a Blast!

This CD-ROM version of the popular board game is an all-time hit with both my 10 year old, and my 7 year old. Even though they have never played the board game, they still enjoyed the CD-ROM version and were able to catch on to the object of the game quite easily. You can play against actual players, or by yourself.

The Game of Life is fast-paced, entertaining, and fun! The graphics are terrific; the music is a little corny, but it keeps the game going.

This game is perfect for the times when there is "nothing to do," or on a rainy day. We have had it for over a year, and we still howl every time we play it.

Fun for awhile but little replay value

Growing up in the 70's the game of life boardgame was my favorite. My friends and I would play for hours, driving our little car around the 3 dimensional track and waiting for the chance to put our "children" pegs in the car (always biting the bottom off to make them shorter than the parents!). I was really looking forward to playing the PC version, but was kind of disappointed because the very things that make the boardgame fun are not present in the PC version. The biggest flaw is that you can't really see the entire board view, so you have no idea what squares are coming up. Half the fun of the boardgame is the satisfying sound of the wheel whirring, while you call out "come on six!", only to be disappointed when you land on 5. The graphics are amusing, and the game does have some entertainment value, but it just doesn't recapture the old board game.
