This game is fun and exciting. You can play with your friends when you are at different houses, and you can chat with them while on this game. Another good thing is that there is no clean-up!

Great adaptation of the board game

The Game of Life was my favorite board game when I was a kid. When I saw this CD at the computer store, I thought I'd give it a try.

Hasbro typically produces good games. Their adaptations of Scrabble and Monopoly are first-rate. This one works, too. You spin the wheel, choose your career, and careen your way through the board from the 1950s to 2000s and retirement. I played alone versus two AI players and each of the two games I played took 45 minutes. The graphics are great and, again, this is typical of Hasbro. The game is simple enough that kids could play on the computer or a parent could play with a child. But of course, you lose the camraderie that you get from playing a board game with your family and friends.

This is a great solo game, but it does go a little slow. But don't let that deter you from buying the game. You'll probably be able to buy it for ten dollars or less and at that price, it's a great value.

I was actually going to play this game a few times and then give it to a friend to give to her grandchildren. I'm going to keep it for myself, instead!

I played this at my friends and....

I found the game to be alright. I love the real board game, so the I was pretty excited to play the computer version...But if you are expecting a version exactly like the game, this isn't it. There are some changes, like payback and all that. ITs fun to pick your people, and get your house and all that. Its cool how it goes through the decades and all that. If you liked the game, I think you'll like the board game, but be warned: Like the game, the mroe people that play, the better.

WOW!

WOW! And i mean it. If you have played the game of life before and thought it was rather dull, Your in for a surprise now! It might have a few jokes that you will get tired of hearing after a little while but just the competition makes you want to play this game again and again. It is a great family game and if you would like to see a 3d version of your favorite boardgame, just go to classic mode. This makes a great gift and it is a must-buy for any family. Order yours today!

If you like the board game you'll like the CD

This is a fun version of the board game. It's true to the original and adds animations, music and a great 3D, first person perspective of traveling over the board. Like the board game, it's a great family game. I highly recommend it.

Mindless Fun

It's not an arcade game where split seconds count. It's a happy game with jokes and a wonderful environment where cute things happen. Sometimes you win but you ALWAYS have fun getting there.

This is one of the first CD ROM games I got for my computer to play online with other people and IMHO it is great. Playing the "enhanced" version is great as long as you don't play with the movie animations or square comments. (They are corny and slow the game down) They classic version is fun to play was well.

Fun for a few times

Its the game of LIFE, just like the board game but for PC. The graphics are neat. The cut scenes get a little annoying for certain tiles after the first time you play it. After playing it a few times though it does get boring. You can play with multiple people on the same PC but for what its worth just buy the actual board game. No one really plays this game online, so its pretty much you and the computer.

A Great Life!
