| dabwal's Full Review: The Game of Life for PlayStation 1 |
My upstairs neighbor got this game about a year ago and I drove my husband and him nuts wanting to play it all the time
The game board is laid out like the board game and the wheel makes the same clicking sounds, but they have some neat modifications.
You can play an enhanced game, which is the only way I play it. In the enhanced game you get games of chance to play when you land on the "Life" spaces, and if you land on payday you can extract revenge on one other player by making them pay your salary. Plus for every life event, marriage, baby, retirement you spin the dial and get money from the other players.
The game also has you traveling through the decades and each has a different car and music. They also have traveling movies, and cartoons for each space you land on. I don't play with the traveling movies or the cartoons on because I find them annoying. You can go into options and turn any of the features on or off and adjust the sound levels.
You can play with up to six players either real or computer and you get to chose your name, car color and character, although the choices are not all that great.
If play with the same group over and over you can save your game to a memory card before you spin to see who goes first so you don't have to reenter the information and reset your options each time. You can use the multi tap also so you can spread out while your playing.
All in all a fun time to be had!
