SUMMARY: Play the classic game of LIFE on your iPhone

The Game of Life is more than just a metaphor for your existence, it's also one of the best-selling board games of all time. The game originated in the 60's focusing on playing a game about life. Well now the iPhone version has been released and much has changed since then. The game is set in the 3D version of the board game with animated events. It plays very similar to the board game though there are some differences.

Players can choose to play a single game against up to 4 computer players or they can share their device with up to 4 different friends. Right from the beginning players must pick either college or a career, but can later return to night school if they want. As you spin and move around the board, your car will fill with money, a spouse, and even children. The graphics were decent in the game and I never had a hiccup while playing. Sometimes the spinning would go for a little too long and but there is a nice feature in the game to speed up any computer gameplay.

Overall, the game is well- made but I can't see why anyone would want to have it on their phone. It's priced in the medium range in the app store so check it out.
