It's pretty fun - I've played it a few dozen times and really enjoyed it. I wish that when you are generating your character there were a few more options (your character choices are EXTREMELY limited), but that is the only real fault I could find with the game.

The graphics are cartoonish - but it fits! Whenever you land on a spot, there is a short little clip showing what happened to you - these are pretty funny! Overall, it's a cute game. It would be perfectly acceptable for kids too - there is nothing bad in the game at all! Since its so cheap, I definitely recommend getting it and playing around, especially if you're a fan of the board game!

"Great adaptation of the board game"
The Game of Life was my favorite board game when I was a kid. When I saw this CD at the computer store, I thought I'd give it a try.

Hasbro typically produces good games. Their adaptations of Scrabble and Monopoly are first-rate. This one works, too. You spin the wheel, choose your career, and careen your way through the board from the 1950s to 2000s and retirement. I played alone versus two AI players and each of the two games I played took 45 minutes. The graphics are great and, again, this is typical of Hasbro. The game is simple enough that kids could play on the computer or a parent could play with a child. But of course, you lose the camraderie that you get from playing a board game with your family and friends.

This is a great solo game, but it does go a little slow. But don't let that deter you from buying the game. You'll probably be able to buy it for ten dollars or less and at that price, it's a great value.

I was actually going to play this game a few times and then give it to a friend to give to her grandchildren. I'm going to keep it for myself, instead!

"Classic board game is animated"
When you first start this game you can see that it is strickly fun. Each space has either a short animated movie attached to it or a pop up screen with some funny . Most spaces have a still frame that pops up that is read by a pre-recorded voice. Each frame has some funny comment. There are a few spaces that have a short computer generated video attached to it instead of a still frame.

Each player chooses his or her character and car. The cars move across the board through a series of time periods. The game board starts in the 1950s and continues to the year 2000. Each decade is accompanied with its own theme music.

What I like best about computer generated board games (like life)is that the computer moves you game piece(I.E. car) and keeps track of your earnings.
