1.0 out of 5 stars Newer isn't always better, February 20, 2003
By Efrain Rivera Jr. "UltraJ" (Anasco, PR United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Durability:2.0 out of 5 stars Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars 
If you have ever played the earlier version of life please do yourself a favor and avoid this "new" version like the blak plague. My friends and I used to play the old version every single day up to late hours. Once we learned the new version was out we ran and bought it. WHAT A DISAPOINTMENT!!!! Compared to the old version this one is HORRIBLE. It isn't fun. The new rules [are not good]. You can not bet anymore. Money isn't the way it used to be (what's with the litte pieces of carton?) Maybe if someone at MB reads this they will go back to the basics and bring back what was once a great and fun family game to play. Lucky for us we still have, and play with, our old and much better version of Life.

1.0 out of 5 stars BEWARE! This is not the game you remember!, August 10, 1999
By A Customer
Durability:2.0 out of 5 stars Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 
Do NOT confuse this new version of LIFE with the old version!!! The old version is a classic--this new version is a big disappointment. In the new LIFE you don't get to choose your career or anything. Instead of monetary bonuses throughout the game (e.g. spinning for gifts when you have a child) you get these silly "Life" cards that you can't look at until the end. At the end you get huge amounts of money with each "Life" card and it's possible to win even if you don't have very much cash in front of you because of those cards. It's disappointing to play the whole game and then lose because of those cards, which are totally random. It's like you play the whole game and then spin to see who is the winner. We became very bored with this game very quickly because it's almost nothing like the old Life game. The old Life game was more true to life. The new game isn't.

2.0 out of 5 stars Read the Reviews Before You Buy!, May 19, 2000
By A Customer
Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 
I wish that I had read some of the reviews before I purchased this one. We had this game when I was a kid and it was one of my favorites. However, I didn't realize that they had revised the game.

I find the new format frustrating and empty. There isn't as much interaction between players in this one (others don't have to give you money when you get married, have children, etc.), except for the career spots and those detract from the game - they're pretty pointless and not true to the real world as we know it.

I have to agree with the previous reviewer who found the LIFE cards very annoying. There doesn't seem to be any hope for the underdog in this version; if you don't happen to pick a good salary, you won't win, no matter how many LIFE cards you pick up along the way.

I really wish that they had left the game the way it was! I think we'll go dig up the old one that my husband's parents have somewhere. That will be more fun!

Bottom Line: After wanting to own this game for a while, I wish I hadn't wasted my money. I'll just find an older used one. One word - disappointing.
