Summary: Great game to rest your brain...
Review: Being 23 years old, I bought this game with fond memories of the board version I remember playing with friends when we were little. We would fantasize about the kind of car we would drive, the career we would have, the husband/wife we would marry, and how many children we would have. And the computer version is just as good. However, now that I am older and have been married for 7 months, the game just isn't as exciting.

This computer version has funny graphics, cute people, and really great generic music - which spans from 1960-2000. It would be a perfect fun game for a child 10-13 years old. Not very educational, but fun nevertheless.

Summary: Good game, Good graphics, But gets boring
Review: Game of Life is a great game, but unfortunately it gets boring after playing it for just a couple of times. The 3-D cartoons that run during the game are a nice, cute addition, but after seeing them the first or second time, you want to choose the option to turn them off. It is also nice that after you spin the animated spinner on the game, it looks as if you are driving the car on the board to the space that you have spun. As your car drives around the board, the years change from 1950-2000. And as the years change, so does the style of the cars and the type of music. Another big point of the game is that it is not really very fun to play against a computer player because when you play with another real person, you can interact with him. In my opinion the game isn't worth buying because you will only play it for a few times.

Summary: GREAT GAME!
Review: Hi, I got this game last January for my birthday! I play all the time! It is really fun. You get to pick from differant players, name them. Go throght differant years from 1960-2000 and hear differant music. You also get to choose how many people to play with this. If you are looking for a good computer game, i suggest this one. I hope I helped!

Summary: This game's cute and fun
Review: I enjoy the board game LIFE, but this was even better. Along with the regular aspect of the game, there are cute mini-puzzles and great animation which makes this a worthwile buy.

Summary: Not great
Review: I find the actual board game is better

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I played this at my friends and....
Review: 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.

Summary: Pretty fun bet gets boring!
Review: I got the Game of Life about a month ago and I played it like 8 times. It was pretty fun but now if you ask me to play is again, it gets really boring. Pretty good graphics! I do recommend this game but just remember it gets boring!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great family game!
Review: I love the music, the pictures, and everything about it. The enhanced game is really cool too. I was at my friends house once and we played Life the CDrom. As soon as I got home I told my mom all about it. She bought it for me and now my brothers and I play it all the time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fun and Exciting!
Review: I loved playing the board version of Life as a child and enjoy it on my PC too! What I like most about this game is the versatility when it comes to options. You can either see the goofy animation (while getting married, driving around, etc...) or you can choose to turn it off. I also like the fact that you can choose which version you want to play.

Having no children of my own, I opted to take it to work with me and put it on the PC at work (I teach school...I hope I didn't break any laws! :-) ) Everyday, my students dispersed to various classrooms to do their ritualistic, mundane computer time. Because of the numbers, a few were always left behind without a computer. (I had one main multi-media PC which had Life on it.) I can tell you, without hesitation, that children tried to "hide" to avoid going to computer time in order to remain in my classroom to play Life. Sometimes I found myself playing alongside my second graders!

Out of all the animated games I have seen thus far, Life is the best!
