Editorial Review

Congratulations! You're in line for that promotion from Can Wrangler to Top Scarer (taking the college track paid off). You'll be able to move out of that Shabby Shack and maybe buy the Big Scream TV you've had all six of your eyes on. But soon the bills start coming in. Buster the Saber-Toothed Bunny needs a flea dip (that'll cost 300 hollers) and that hospital stay when you broke a tentacle skiing didn't come cheap, either. But that's life in the big city. Monstropolis, to be exact. The Monsters, Inc. Game of Life in Monstropolis successfully tailors the mechanics of the Milton Bradley classic to the wacky weirdness of the animated Disney/Pixar movie. In adapting the generations-old game to the world of Sulley and Mike, a simpler "scream-lined" approach has been taken: the folding board still sports the cool topography and numbered spinner, but the little pink-and-blue child tokens for the car have been abandoned. Family values are apparently not big in Monstropolis. --Tony Mason

My daughter is 8. We haven't seen Monsters Inc. yet, however, we have been fans of the original LIFE game and thought this might be interesting...as the commercials really depict it as loads of fun. It WAS interesting the first time we played it. The game is not as detailed as the original LIFE. There is a minimal amount of money to deal with (only 100 and 500 dollar bills) and there are no spaces on the board with instructions as in the original Life..there are cards to choose different things like which Career, House, Pet, etc...you will get in your monster life. There is no "betting on the wheel" or chances to obtain a share of another player's windfall. One good thing was there were no little plastic "people" to constantly fall out of the cars! This game allows a maximum of only 4 players at a time as well (didn't the original allow more?). I think really little kids who get bored with the "Life challenges" on the original game would enjoy this...maybe ages 4 through 7. Get this game only if you can get it on sale....
