The Game of Life

"Greatest Thing Ever To Come Out Of My Cereal Box."

At first I had the board game, and it was very fun. But you have never experienced the game in all of its glory until you play this. Thankfully when I was younger my parents bought me Cereal and this was inside, and other then food, this was the greatest thing to ever come out of my cereal box.

Gameplay: 10
This has very simple gameplay all around. There is two modes first of all which are Classic and Enhanced. Classic is like the board game, where you collect tiles and the more you have the better chance you have of winning at the end of the game. Then theres my favorite, Enhanced. You get money then by passing Payday's and also getting Revenge and taking others money. To see who spins first you spin a spinner, and whoever has the highest number spins first. Then from there on to make your turn you just spin, its that easy. To start your career you can either have "College" or just go staright to "Career". With College you get more choices. After that, a Lottery type machine comes up, pull down the lever, and you get 3 careers, you pick one, then you press down 3 random buttons, and choose your salary from $10,000 to $100,000. During the game you have to get married and buy a house, but you CAN get kids by landing on the right options. The more kids you get the more that will appear in your car. When your moving it is in a first person view. You go from the 1950's to the 2000's. You end the game by getting to a retirement home. Which then you pick "Countryside Acres" or "Millionaire Estates". You then spin to either win or lose money. It may sound short, but with TONS AND TONS of options to land on its a hoot. You also get to chance to play interactive "Lifes Little Games" to earn cash. Overall the Gameplay is amazing.

Sound/Music: 10
Theres tons of sounds and music in this game. The voice acting is great, theres so much of it. And the music is also really good and never gets annoying. It gets a 10 here also.

Graphics: 9.5
The graphics aren't amazing, but they are not bad at all. Very good in my opinion, they look realistic enough and don't take away any experience from the game. You can see a birds eye view, and it looks great. Overall the Graphics are very good.

Replayability: 10
This game will always be different everytime you play it which is great and why it is getting a 10. You can pick new choices each time and will always land on different things. You will never play the same game twice, the Replayability is defintely Infinite.

Overall: 10
If you thinking of buying this game then you have made the right chice. It may be hard to find but if you do it will be worth it to buy it. Just read the above and see why it is so great, I have never been bored of this game at all.If you see it, pick it up.
