The Game of Life Reviews

It’s a really great app. There are changes, but most of them are neutral or positive changes. The changes to the money for careers are interesting and give a much wider difference between highest and lowest paying jobs. There is no better feeling than pulling brain surgeon and raking in 150k per payday. I also wasn’t expecting being able to play with computers, but it’s nice that you can. Although I do wish that you could online play with friends with separate devices. Maybe you can and I just haven’t noticed. The only thing that I wish was better is customization. There isn’t that many customizable things that affect gameplay. It would be nice if you could alter things like how much money careers are worth, what action cards you could get, house price, and more. I would very much like to be able to choose which quick ending I get as well. I could say more, but this review is getting long. Overall, do I recommend TheGameofLife? Well I did give 5 stars so that kind of gives it away, but either way, I do. Even as it is, it is a great app and 600 times better than going to Walmart and buying the game for $20 and then needing to set it up and deal with actual cards.

This is a really and I mean really fun game but the computer people see I don’t don’t know if they are real people but if they aren’t you should be able to play with real people around the whole entire world that would be great but besides that this is a amazing game keep up the great work and I won’t to let you know that you are one of the best games I ever played so keep up the great work and I hope you stay healthy and safe you guys are amazing and one more thing and can you pls try to make the board longer at least try because I feel like the game is pretty short and I would like to do a lot more stuff in the game so bye and thank you for making this game be as fun as possible and this is great you can play offline I believe so if you are in a car with no WiFi you can just play this game with your family stay safe and wear a mask thanks for seeing this wow this feels like a speech or something but thank you for making this game so bye now for real this time

I really love the Game of Life, so I decided to gamble on it and pay for the game. I didn’t realize there would be so many features you still have to pay for, like customizing the player. It feels really tacky to have to pay for something as silly as a different kind of Vespa. Anyway, I did the default settings and played but found it kind of boring. You can’t see what any of the game board says until you land on them, so most of the game is just spinning and watching your piece move along a board. I guess I should have expected that, since it’s similar to what the game is like in real life, but I thought I would at least be able to see the game board. Years ago, there was a Game of Life computer game which I loved! When you came to a fork in the road, it showed you the two spaces you could have landed on with your roll before you chose, there was customization, the rolls felt more personalized and interactive, and overall it was a more fun game. I guess I was hoping for that but it isn’t, so I’m giving 3 stars because it does give the exact game, but without much of the personal experience.

When I was 3 years ago in TheGameofLife Store, I saw this game and it did not interest me but, when the time came that I wanted to buy a game, I saw this game again and I bought it. When I played this game three or four times, I started to love this and wanted to buy the real board game to have it in my hands and play with my family and friends too. I regret that I didn't play this wonderful game for 3 years, but now I still want to play it. Those who have had the 2016 edition idea, I wanted to say... Thank You for making this good board game with good graphics, 3D animations and everything you have given with your effort.

There is a bug that I don’t like and that during the game at any time, the game closes. Please if you can do me that favor of fixing that bug, I would appreciate it to you creators. I love this game and I rated 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ and you’re welcome. So thanks for making this entertaining, fun and creative game about the Life. 😁

When I first got TheGameofLife I was like okay this is going to be a good app when I first played it I was like wow this is a great app once I finished it I loved it so 1m no infinity stars so you should download TheGameofLife because well you can play with computers people and even your friends so you should download TheGameofLife even thou it cost money trust me I is worth it also I do have to say something to the people who made TheGameofLife I think you should make it free because it is a great app and a lot of people love it so I think you should make it free because some people really want to download TheGameofLife but they might not have the money for it so plz if you could make it free I hope you liked my review keep staying who you are and never change that unless you are rude Ty y’all byeeee!!!have a awesome day byeeee sorry if I am annoying bye sorry

I love this game but usually when I play and I get really and I mean REALLY far into the game it usually glitches out also sometimes when I start a game the screen just freezes but the part 2 and the vacation ones are great I do recommend the vacation and game of life two but if you want to download this game and try anyway then that’s fine I really don’t care on anyone else’s decision or opinion well I do care but this is still my opinion so if you like TheGameofLife then thats perfectly fine with me but still go check out the vacation and game of life two I love them and I really think peoples experiences
so go share them but if you don’t want to that’s perfectly fine with me and also this game when it doesn’t glitch or freeze it’s so fun so I hope you have a great time on TheGameofLife but just so you know if you play and it glitches don’t tell me I didn’t tell you that it’s very glitchy but still I hope you have a great time playing “this game glitches and freezes a lot” said by me also I hope you have a great day :)

I just love love love this game. I thought about playing it today. This is really one of my favorite games. One day I went on App Store and saw this game a got it. I am actually really really glad I went on App Store to get this. I play this game on my iPad and glad I got my iPad for Christmas. I really think this is a brilliant game! Who ever made up and thought of this game thank you! I am glad we had games and iPads to play on! I am so thankful and blessed for these kind of stuff! I am really really happy and amazed that someone was smart to make up this game! There is a few things I don’t really get or like but I am still thankful and blessed to have this game and at least a game like this game. I am super glad to play this game and I was so excited for this game! MAN I don’t know how happy I could not say it. Thank you for making this fun fun game!

This version replaced an absolutely phenomenal version that iPhone no longer supports… given my love of life, clue, and monopoly I bought this several years ago.

I disliked that they reverted back to pegs instead of people, but I’ll live with that, it’s purely preference. But all the stupid mini games make this unplayable. I like to play this as I’m going to bed, I don’t want to have to try to figure out or think quickly for a mini game, even if I did, I don’t wanna play the version of hungry hungry hippos or whatever other version it’s popping up… if I wanted to play those I would get those, but I got life.

Again, citing how the old version was infinitely better, life (from board game up) relied on luck of the spin and luck of drawing good cards, not stupid mini games. Those are gimmicks to hide how bad this game is. Life doesn’t need gimmicks, it’s a good game and the gimmicks distract from that.

There also is no way to turn off the mini games for a more traditional game. I paid money for this, and I can’t bring myself to play it (although I generally try once or twice a year).

Honestly, I still have an old phone and charger (iPhone 3 I think), and I use that to play the original iPhone life because this version is so bad.

The game got a two star instead of a one because it’s still Life, and it’s got the good bones… it could be salvaged by removing the mini games. But, if you like mini games, it could be awesome for you.

If anybody thinks this game is nothing like the actual game of life that is because they haven’t played the new version! The board game they sell in store now is different than when we were kids, and TheGameofLife is exactly like the new version of the board game. I think it’s cute and funny that each character gets a look depending on the career they chose.

Please fix online mode!!! It is so annoying that it’s so easy to get kicked off a game. If you leave TheGameofLife for even a moment it will kick you off and turn your character into a computer. The games obviously last kind of a while, so it’s so infuriating when you’re deep into a game with your buddies and then you get kicked off because you got a phone call and gets get back in the game. Or you get a text message and muscle memory opens it really quick forgetting that will render you unable to rejoin the game.

I urged all my friends to pay $3 on an app that is just frustrating to use! Don’t bother buying if you plan on playing online

Hello, just speaking on behalf of any mobile user. I enjoy the game but it would be even better if you add a few to a several of these changes:
1. Adding more mini games to the map, having the same 3 games (especially when I land and play the same mini game in a row) can be pretty boring and not as challenging
2. Making it easier to reconnect when disconnecting on accident. Instead of having to start a new game every-time.
3. Switching up the map style (how the map is set up) in a different way so it will be more fun to actually want to cross around the map, instead of different themes (which is great too, but there could be more to it).
4. Since people like to disconnect a lot on here (barely when the game even starts) it would be nice for the bots to be more challenging. Like I’m legitimately facing a human like AI and not act stupid on some occasions( ex. Has a great job but trades it in for a crappier one, like what..?).
5. Have the bots be more gender fluid when it comes to picking who they marry (it’s always a boy-girl or girl-boy situation; lets LGBTQIA up in here more)
So far, that’s all i can personally think of, Ive been wanting to write this down for awhile, but never got around to it. I paid 20 bucks for this game and it would be cool if you take my ideas into consideration. Thanks for taking the time to read this if you do

First off, the game is expensive for what you get to do. You don’t get to Customize your pegs or even the car that you get without having to pay for it. The game is extremely repetitive, I feel as if the game already programs what you’re going to be landing on because I land on the same things almost every single time which can’t be coincidence. The jobs that you get whether it’s career or college are the same every time which is only 4 options. In the original game you have a lot more options. In this game if you have children you automatically get $50k for each child but in the original game you had expenses for child care, college for the kids, etc. Obviously you’re going to choose to have a child each time to cash in at the end. You have a lot of chances to gain money but not a lot of chances to lose it which I find boring. The whole point is that you have as many equal chances to win as you have to lose. The only thing I like are the mini games which I find amusing when you land on them. Overall, really bad game....

Overall, TheGameofLife works great, and it can definitely be fun to play! The computer players are really nice to have access to, as well. The AI never feels rigged, a weakness so many other games of this genre possess.

However, do not buy this game if you expect the nostalgia of the Game of Life that you know (which the description claims to evoke). Almost nothing about this game is anything like the board game it’s supposedly based on. There are completely different careers, no life tiles, no share the wealth cards, a completely revamped board layout, a pervasive mechanic known as “action cards” (which apparently give you money at the end?), no requirement to buy a house, etc.

Despite the fact that TheGameofLife bears no resemblance to the board game, this is a review of TheGameofLife itself. Overall, TheGameofLife works great. Buy it if you want some mindless fun to last the occasional hour. If you want the real Game of Life as an app, this isn’t what you’re looking for.

To be completely honest, I love this game, and I don’t really have anything against it. Issues that can cause unhappy players are obvious. The game costs money, you have to buy skins and vehicles, and much more. Aside of these issues, the overall rating would be a 6/10. Why, you may ask? Well, the issues, and the game originally. TheGameofLife is nothing like the actual board game. You can design vehicles and pegs, players get much more money which just makes it unfair in a way, etc. I dislike how it’s like this because the original board game itself is much better, and once you look at TheGameofLife, you’ll see how different it is, in some ways it’s improved, but in most ways it’s just worse. Like I said, I have nothing against the game, and I do encourage to download if you’re bored or just for fun, but do be aware on what you’re spending precious money on, and do remember, there are bugs and it’s not like you think it is.

The game comes to a rather abrupt end on the free board. You go from collecting babies to the risky/safe path and then suddenly you’re in retirement within two or three spins. Old board games and online versions used to draw this portion out and from my estimate, your life isn’t over that fast! I’m fond of being able to own more than one house or forgoing a house entirely. Otherwise the mini games give the mobile version a nice twist on the game.

It’s a little hard to justify a season pass with so much locked up behind a paywall. I need more to convince me the game is worth it. I don’t feel like I got my money’s worth of what I did pay. If the old fashioned game isn’t the length I remember it to be, then what good is that? It makes me unwilling to pay for more.

Needs more content for the free version to make me willing and eager for more. Simply passing and barely so. A mediocre incarnation of your favorite game.

I read a review entitled “Nothing is good anymore” and had the heartiest laugh . . . Complaints like “players get paid too much,” “the money system is different,” “I can’t choose the vehicle I drive around in” and to sum it up, “I never thought something like this would happen to mobile gaming.” Seriously?!? Ha ha ha!! Oh, first-world problems. 😂😂 Why is it a bad thing that people get paid more? EVERYONE is getting paid more. Who cares if the money system is different, it’s fun and it works, and does it truly matter which vehicle you drive around in?!? That’s the LEAST of my concerns. Wow.
ANYWAY, MY REVIEW: It’s a fun game, I don’t own the board version, and figure the board version would be boring in comparison. There’s not a single feature that you NEED that you have to pay for, so zero complaints. It’s just pure fun.

I miss having my character look like humans do. The game updated to pegs to “be more like the current board game”, but I would rather personalize a person than a peg. Also, being a female, I noticed that the computers only play as male. It’s alright until you play 100x over and it never changes. The new version has some okay-ish mini games. However, the #1 thing I miss from the old version was feeling like I actually loved the game. I feel like this is almost Mario party with rewards and mini games. I miss the steps of choosing a house and going down a risky road and possibly loosing it. Or having (like another reviewer suggested) the risky road have accidental children instead of always just taking 100k. I miss the album at the end making me feel like my life just ended. I want my character to age, not some peg to drive multiple vehicles and then retire. All in all... I prefer the old version, but will continue to play this because I have nothing better to do.

It’s a nice time waster. It would be more enjoyable if each player could enter a name. My girls kept forgetting which colour they were. Why are all starting players always male. Two of my girls were upset that when they got to the chapel square to fine that they were a male when they thought they started the with a female. It would also be nice if there was a printable sheet to explain the number values for the babies. The girls were confused why some sisters go babies and some didn’t. I know you explained the first time. But after a few games the girlies forgot. And perhaps the designer could use better character icons. Not everyone enjoys the monster style characters

I like this version of life but I liked the old one better it’s just in the old version there weren’t pegs they looked more like humans and I don’t usually like the pegs because if you’re a girl like me wouldn’t you want to be a different color then pink!! I mean I like the color yellow and you need to be the color pink! You know girls can like blue and boys can like pink right?? Well anyway every time I play with computers the computers are always male. why? Can’t you guys switch it up a little!? And my last thing is why is every theme 3$ I mean why isn’t it 1$ this is coming from someone that has a hole bunch a money but still why does it need to be 3 bucks it should definitely be 1$ I mean let me get this straight: I think all the themes aren’t that cool and you just play the game with a theme I mean it’s like not that cool. It doesn’t deserve to be 3 hole bucks!! I guess that’s just my opinion. It’s not a bad game though 👍👍🙂.

I actually hate that I’m even writing this review. I love boardgames. And I love playing my board games on my phone. So I was very excited when I saw that The Game of Life had a mobile game. Unfortunately, the $2.99 that I spent was wasted. Loading the game is a nightmare. It took so long that two of the players in my live game quit. And once we finally got the game going, the game actually froze in the middle of a computers turn. I didn’t even get to finish! I was able to play a local game by myself in order to get a feel for it, but that was no fun because the computer doesn’t offer any challenges. There are many games, which I thought would be pretty cool, but they turn out to be much tougher to place than I thought. It is almost impossible to see what you were doing with some of the mini games depending on the size of your screen. My advice? Stay far away. If I could get a refund, I would!

ITS SO GREAT! unlike the actual game, you can play mini games when u land on mi I game squares, AAAAAANNNNND it’s really cool cuz when u do things like graduate, ur peg goes into the collage thing, and comes out with a graduation gown and a diploma (when ur peg gets back in the car it goes away but it’s still cool) and it also does stuff like that for lots of other things like getting married and having kids. It’s also nice cuz if no one else wants to play, u can play against a computer. It also has other things that the actual in person game (or at least the one I have) don’t have, like the option to go to night school, “risky road”, and more. Overall, it’s worth the money

Me & family love this mobile game & the price is not bad at all ! But the game does have some glitches such as waiting screen constantly pops up & takes forever to load. Also when playing online a lot of people quit when losing 😢😢 they shouldn’t be able to do so , also adding chat would make things so much better & easier ! Instead of simple little emojis you can put & it should have peoples names instead of “player 1” “player 2” etc. I see you haven’t updated the game in a year ! But with quarantine going on this would be a perfect game to download & play , other then the waiting glitch & improvements this game is fun & awesome to play with family & friends through the phone !
