You can play by the traditional board game rules under the Classic Game option, or select Enhanced Game for a fun, new twist! Create your own name, select character and vehicle, and try to make (and keep) the most money to win the game. In the Enhanced version, instead of collecting life tiles when you land on a life square you get a chance to play one of several games to win big money - and there is a revenge feature that lets you choose to collect your winnings (or even your salary)from any other player!

LUV THAT GAME

This is the best game! WAY more fun than the board game! It is so fun to see what your kids look like and to start a family get a career and to just play it!!! If you don't already have it, I strongly recommend it. If it went over 5 stars I'd give it a million. I have only played the computer game though. The computer game is a family game and totally F.U.N! So, if u like fun games-get this! I'm sure they're all equally fun. I'm trying to get one right now (: It's also for all ages.

Not bad -- not bad at all!

My husband brought this game home because he was trying to find a Playstation game I would like. (I don't like the shoot-em-up games that he does.) It was cute! The movies are a little cheesy, but they did make us laugh. We played over and over again, just trying to land on new spaces so we could see the movies. The games gives you two ways to play -- the traditional way, where you collect Life tiles throughout the game; and an enhanced way, where you play little mini-games for money when you land on certain tiles. Both ways are fun, although the traditional way makes the end a little more interesting -- you're not sure who is going to win. A good family game, easy for even the technically-illiterate to understand.

This game rocks

Play The Game of Life on Playstation. It's lots of fun, and you can play with just a few friends, or your whole family can join in, its good for all age levels. Buy this game now, cause you'll regret it later if you don't.

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.

Based on the Classic Board Game!

Rated "E" for "Everyone". Toddlers ages 2 and under may be too young to understand and participate in this game, but they may enjoy pretending to play along with a nonfunctional/unplugged controller! A slow game - not good for those who fall asleep easily. I really enjoy this video game version of the board game - no one even has to be the banker!

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.

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.
