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.

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!

Great game to play with kids of all ages! I have used this game with children I treat as an Occupational Therapist in schools as well as my own kids! Fun and easy to play!

My kids 8 and 10 really enjoy it. Even with friends they all gather around the computer and play. A game does not take that long around 1 hour or less. Lots of fun for all!

If you like the original board game you'll love this! I was very pleased with the ease of the purchase. I would recommend. Thank you.

Most of these digital board games are not much better than the physical game, but we thought we'd try it out. Never again. One player made a decision at the end and should have one the game, but she wasn't crediting with her dollars so it calculated all the rankings incorrectly. How frustrating to get to the end of the game only to find out there is a major bug. The programmers don't have to worry about high end moving graphics so more care should be taken to make the play accurate. Although the technology is low end, I would be willing to give a high rating to a game which works properly.

when i received the game it did not work. i emailed the company i got it from twice and i never received an answer
