Toys and Games Reviews of Game of Life
Customer Review: what game!
Summary: 3 Stars
When I was getting ready to type my review on this site, I noticed the older people said that they liked the older version. I began to agree, too, even though I don't have the older version. It's still a fun game. The things I don't like there is, I always land on paying spots, the wheel sometimes doesn't work well, and one of the people pegs in my car usually fall down. This is the first Life board game I've ever purchased before. But I considered it nice since I bought the Playsation version. I thought I'll type a sooo nice thing about Life in here until I saw the grown-up's complaint's. I now wondered what does the older version looked like. What if Mr. Bradley put the old game on the market? That would be nice!Customer Review: Tiny Pieces Nightmare!!!
Summary: 3 Stars
In the Game Of Life, you accomplish everything in Life (for pretend purposes only of course) from getting married (to a pink or blue plastic stick), to buying a house (a card with an overpriced home of your dreams or nightmares) on it, to spinning a clumsy spinner to try and become a Millionaire, like how many americans actually retire as millionaires this day and age? The game is fun the first couple of times, but easy to lose interest in. The pieces are small, flimsy plastic, and the gameboard is a pain to set up. I can name a dozen or so more games that are a lot more fun than Life, with a lot less set up required. In all, it's a game that most people would enjoy, if you can get past the time it takes to setupCustomer Review: Newer isn't always better
Summary: 1 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.Customer Review: Not As Good As The Original
Summary: 3 Stars
I love The Game Of Life as kid growing up (ours was from the mid-70's). We played it a hundred times at least. So when my wife and I bought "our own" copy when we got married, we were greatly disappointed with the "new and improved" version that is currently for sale. The new version has done away with alot of the fun characteristics of the game and seems to have watered down the game play to make it easier (i.e. less fun). We were so disappointed, we sold our copy and bought one of the old ones through Ebay.
So if you grew up playing Life, love it, and you are older than say 20 yrs old, don't bother buying a new copy - you won't like it. Scour Ebay and get one of the classic versions.
Customer Review: New rules/gameplay- unsatisfactory
Summary: 1 Stars
Maybe I just dislike change, but when I purchased this game, I was very excited, only to be crestfallen when I set it up and played it.The rules and gameplay have been drastically altered, as is the quality and set up. You must set up the board every time you play it, inserting the useless little houses on the board, and setting up the bridges. While they're okay to look at, if we have to set the game up like that every time, it's not worth it. Print the whole board if you can't box it properly. The gameplay is not as good as the old version, period. I remember playing the previous version and frankly, this one just doesn't measure up. I wish they would re-release the previous version!
