Hasbro has made it quite a status to make virtual versions of their classic board games for the P.C. Yet, they are quite amazing, but not always in what they seem to be. The Game Of Life is really no acception. The Milton Bradley classic has done very well alone, but as a computer game, it is quite amazing. The Game of Life plays just like the original board game, as you go through the stages of life, trying to get the most money, and retiring the winner. Yet, while the game is good in the graphics, and the gameplay, the music, and the feeling of the game isn't as wholesome. Somehow, the board game itself when you're playing against someone else is a little better than playing it alone on the computer. But, if you don't have it as a board game, this makes a great game for the computer.

Graphics: B

Sound: C

Fun & Enjoyment: C 1/2+: B if you're playing against somebody else besides the computer

Overall: C+

My kids and I stumbled across this game on an internet site, we tried it, liked, and I bought it. This is really a great game for the family, and my kids get a real kick out of the videos from the spaces you land on. It's a new twist on an old classic. We love it!
