    I love this game!

    When I was 3 years ago in the App 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. 😁

    Life

    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!

    Super fun!

    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.

    Monopoly

    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

    This will enhance your game!

    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 ❤️ Talisha

    Nothing Like the Original

    Overall, the app 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 the app bears no resemblance to the board game, this is a review of the app itself. Overall, the app 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.

    It’s good, but unoriginal.

    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. This app 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 this app, 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.

    Not the Life you’re comfortable with but passing.

    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.

    Great but a few things

    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 this app 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 this app 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 :)

    Great design but online play stinks

    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 this app 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 the app 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

    Preferred the Old Version

    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.



  • By Emma/ awwome

    The old version is better

    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 👍👍🙂.

    Nothing like the original

    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....
