Game of Life Reviews

I remember sitting around the table on Christmas Day and all playing 'The Game Of Life'. My dad always ended up in the mansion and my mom was always relegated to the 'old people's home' Now if you have never played this game you may think I have gone mad...but no, don't worry, it's all part of the 'Game of Life' board game. As ...  Read the complete review

One of my favourite board games as a youngster, the Game of Life still holds its own in the board game market. Reasonably priced, this game would make a gift for any youngster not completely immersed in the hi-tech world. Starting with a decision about whether to go to university or go straight to a job, the game takes you ...  Read the complete review

This review is for the Simpsons Game of Life, but i imagine its pretty much the same game, just with altered text and board. First off the player is given the choice of a Career or an Education, one offers instant money, one offers the possibility of more money when the time comes. The aim of the game is to have as ...  Read the complete review

What is it? The game of life is, in my opinion, a classic family board game - one that I think is perfect for that odd rainy afternoon, or during a power cut when there isn't much to do. Who is it suitable for? I would personally say anyone over around 8 or 9 could play the game as it does involve money and accurate ...  Read the complete review

My sister and I loved this game as children and I have not been able to part with my copy yet, so still play it occasionally. The game has a basic role and move dynamic and there aren't that many decisions to be made but somehow it still manages to be very entertaining. The large board consists of a snaking path through life ...  Read the complete review

The game of life is raucous fun for all the family! The general idea behind the game is to collect money and life points by travelling round four zones on the board. Initially every player gets a job card, with all jobs you start on the same wage, buut the top wage and how fast they go up differs substantially. You can chose ...  Read the complete review

Game of Life, manufactured by MB Games, was one of my favourite games as a child and I still enjoy the game today. The rules are very simple and easy to grasp making it a good game to open and play straight away without having to wade through a thick instruction booklet. However, shock of shocks, this game ...  Read the complete review

If boredom could be grown, then the seeds of this despair would be fully formed boxes of the Game of Life. A simple game so soppy that people are stereotyped into boys being blue and girls being pink. All this whilst the whole family fits into a car, which motors around the board. As the name suggests, the whole board game could ...  Read the complete review

I can remember as a child, sitting around a table at my Gran's playing Game of Life. The 1980's seemed to be an era for playing board games (along with poor music and bad hair styles). Game of Life is a fun board game suitable for all the family to play. It's simply a game of life, you start as a teenager with a ...  Read the complete review

As the title suggests, this game is about life, and as such, you are out to do various real-life things like go to University, get married e.t.c. You choose a career, get a salary (which you collect each turn). You can collect status symbols like villas and art collections, buy life insurance, whatever. At first, you may think ...  Read the complete review

This game is really good on CD-ROM, the aim of the game is to make money, get married, buy a house and eventually retire. Will you retire at a country estate or millionaire's mansion? The game has 100's of animations, loads of different musical sound tracks. Everything is really bright and colourful, so it would be really ...  Read the complete review

I had the Game of Life bought for me when I was small by my Grandma and Grandad for Christmas, and it is still going strong today. My kids have learned to love the game as much as me. The idea of the game is to choose between taking the business route or going to University there are pay day squares all round the board, after this ...  Read the complete review

It’s not really an adult game like Trivial Pursuit but is much more suited to the family. I would never dream of playing the Game of Life with a group of adults but it is hugely effective in keeping a group of children happy and interested for an hour or two however it’s probably best for older children because it’s a ...  Read the complete review

Do you remember playing the Game of Life way back in your not so distant youth? Well now there is a fab Hasbro PC version with added laughter value and gaming capabilities. We love it and so do the kids. It is viewed in a God like 3D world of the old style board with moving animated cars and little people with peculiar ...  Read the complete review
