This is pretty bad. The game itself is good, but it just completely locks up and freezes all over the place. Probably due to some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ spaghetti code since it's ported from the Wii.

This game’s fun, but it's a product of its time, and for that reason, is why I can’t recommend it. My friends and I had fun, but we were done with the game after the first 3 games. Even without exploring everything, it just felt repetitive. It has replayability, but it's just not fun. If you’re still interested, I recommend the second game, Game of Life 2. It’s just better on the eyes. It builds off the first game, …

THE GAME OF LIFE is like Monopoly, but without the feeling that you’ve been financially crushed by a house loan . Everything here is faster, more fun, and somehow… kinder. You just spin the wheel, build your virtual life, and watch as everything goes completely off the rails. That’s exactly why the game is so funny. In a single game, I: ✔ got a job ✔ lost money ✔ bought a house ✔ lost money again ✔ retired as a …

THE GAME OF LIFE is a really fun and cozy digital version of the classic board game. It is easy to pick up, but still keeps things interesting with all the choices about career, family and money, so every playthrough feels a bit different. It is especially great to play with friends or family, because it is more about having fun than winning. The colorful visuals and simple gameplay make it perfect for a chill game …

It's a pretty good port of a popular board game. There's not much to the game, but that's true of the physical version, too. But the game works, hot seat play is great (I didn't try online but it sounds like it's pretty dead so bring your own friends). The AI is useless but the game is mostly luck anyway. The achievements can be knocked out in 2 hours or so, shorter if you savescum (just exit to main menu and …

neutral · AI labelView post →This game doesn't have enough replayability value to explain my 4+ hours of single-player time in it. I was really just trying to get the last achievement "have more than 5 children". Nonetheless giving it a positive review as there is nothing wrong with the game. It runs perfectly well and plays very much like the board game. ...I guess I am just very bad at making babies. :/

neutral · AI labelView post →Terrible game. I love the game of life but this is bad. game totally freezes every time you play statues and the only way to get passed this is to close the game down and reload it which is annoying especially when you seem to have to play it every 3 turns. game also froze at the end when calculating wealth, Unless this is fixed, dont bother.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got the game off humble bundle along with GOF2. Played "The Game of Life (Hasbro interactive 1998)" growing up and I will admit this is game is very bland compared to it. I was expecting a nostalgic fix but now I miss all the dialogue, quirkiness, and music from the 1998 version. I even found myself yelling "PAY DAY BABY" every time it was payday. This version of the game is literally "The Game Of Life" ported to a video game with music and sfx. Would be great for family and friends to play…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty sure the only reason this game is still alive is because of the spinner. Anyway, Life sucks and then you die.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What happened? My husband and I play The Game of Life everyday. Today, it was updated and didn't look like the game that we have been playing for a long time. Neither one of us liked the new version of the game. Is their anyway to go back to the other game. We played it over 40 hours. My rating is for the "new" updated format. The old format would of gotten two thumbs up. Please note: We switched over to our Game of Life 2 and it was not updated. We hope that it doesn't change.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty fun and short game, although it is quite repetitive and doesn't require any sort of strategically thinking. The boardgame is much better and if you want some more in depth gameplay THE GAME OF LIFE 2 might be more your speed. I kinda use this version as a tool if I am not sure how many children my sims familys shoul have - essentially this thing really is just a randomizer for me lol.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the game of life is a solved game. a fun quick round with friends turned into an inevitable two hour eleven minute and fifty four second game. i found a bug that allows you to press the map button while the spinner is going to cancel your current spin to get whatever you want, that was only the beginning. we were curious as to how far this new power could be taken and what more powers could possibly exist, that curiosity did not disapoint. if you manually spin the wheel with your mouse till…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a middle of the road Game of Life game. It doesn't do anything crazy to stand out. But it's could be worse. The game is fun, Though the Ai is pretty weak, They ALWAYS choose you for the events, Both good and bad. Plus they never seem to buy houses or want to get some babies. Plus the game sometimes freezes when I want to restart the game to try and get a 100% Completion. But Overall it's a good game, though if you dislike it then I wouldn't argue you.
