Community Insight:
We like that it is hard ether games are easy to us.
This is the perfect game for a family game night. We discovered this game when us and our family wanted to play the game of life, We have the board game but we couldnt find it so we looked it up in the app store to see if they had it and they did! Perfect game as a substitute for the board game and its only 4.99. Best purchase we have ever made.
We played with da fam and we obviously won totes fun.
We like how it saves your progress and you can buy cosmetic packs for maps.
They should improve the AI. For example the AI should have more variation with its spinning. On a game, 2 AI players kept spinning the same thing in an endless loop where they draw over and over at least 5 times in a row. Its happened more than once. They even spun the same number 3 times.
No, we love this game man even though it cost 499. Its great we love it. We love it. We love eggs, but the only bad thing about it is when you spin the wheel and the game is kind of buggy but and then like if we want to invite our friends like it should not it should not mean we have to have Facebook. Our Facebook is such a app for boomers.
We love this game! We dont regret asking to get this.
Very great game, us like cat. Hablo no ingles, lo siento. Us give cinco squares. Choccy milk choccy milk choccy milk yay yay yay yay yay Sorry our dog accidentally ate our phone.
Its so fun and addictive we love this game its very interactive.
Very fun game bought the bundle with life 1, 2, and road trip life! Definitely worth the purchase.
This game is really fun. It is worth the money. Ive been playing it nonstop today. You also can play with your friends, which is an awesome feature. You can play locally, against computers have practices and generally is a really good game.
We love the game and its so fun and exiting getting jobs and getting babies rules are so simple and easy to learn the game is long but we dont care we hope you have fun playing this amazing game. It costs $4.99 and its worth getting NO ADS. We hate games with ADS.
We think this a fun/kid appropriate game and you can play with your friends and we love to play with our siblings it is just the best game ever and we highly recommend it.
It is so fun to play no adds just a fun game of life. You can play with your friends or family which is so fun! The only worst part about this game is you only get one car and 3 images to pick from for you character the rest you have to pay for. But it is so worth it so try it and see what you think just know it is such a good game.
Played this as a kid n still love it today lol life be like life.
We love this game so much we even bought the real game its a great game to help our little one to know how life is like.
Ive said it before your games make us sick that they are so rigged . If you want to question us on this you need to question the other 95% of the people who have left the same exact complaint. Make your games fair & stop ripping people off.
Classic fun but wish there were more options for fun choices we really liked playing it because of all of the cards and money and we ended up winning to the other player.
Our cousin was still in school so we played with a bot and won. 5 STARS.
Totally fun game and try out all the other scenes.
We had blast and a half we could have done a lot of things on our Saturday night but we chose to stay back and stay together and play life as one as a whole because we love LIFE.
We remember playing the actual board game ! It was always fun. Had to download this game on our phone its worth it paying that 4-5$.
When we first downloaded it its was perfect! We even have the bored version one its good! It got good quality like its a HD and you can play by yourself and mostly ITS JUST LIKE THE ADS this is amazing.
Our 4 year old and we love to play the real board game and this one now too! We bought all the expansions for android and apple and love this iPad version the best. *We have Life 2 on our phone. He asks to play a version with us almost daily! He loves getting all the babies and seeing the fun themed scenes! We love it too.
We love the game of life and have been playing it for like 5 years maybe but its a great game for you friends and family to play. We bought the birthday party pack and it is so fun definitely worth the price of it for $3.99 for the pack. Thanks for reading have a wonderful day.
Us and our sisters played 3 games in a row and loved it. No downsides that we can think of and good if you dont want to pay for the real deal. ITS AWESOME.
We love this game so much it the best game ever hehe we hope you all like it how much we do too.
Is there a way we could listen to outside music, podcasts,books etc with the next couple updates? Otherwise amazing.
This app is everything and more! No glitches! And the mini games within the game were so cool! You will not be disappointed with this app! If you played Life as a kid, this app will meet and exceed any expectations you have.
The game of life is amazing no ads you can choose to play with the computer or an human mainly yourself! Loads of fun.
Its the best its the best is the best its the best its the best the best.
Its exactly like the real game Just 3D.
Its such a classic that most people around the world are playing it right now in 2024.
We literally love this game. It is amazing and super fun. This game is perfect for car rides.
The game is soooooo much fun. The whole experience was amazing.
At first, we thought it was gonna be just normal, but then after we played around her too, we realize this is the best game ever all of the features really enhance the gameplay there features that the normal board came doesnt have and it really isnt like you can cheat. Thank you.
We have played the actual board game many times and it is really a good time waster and is fun to play(when your not loosing). We bought this in hopes of it been pretty darn close the the board game and playing on the go. It was honestly a good buy and was worth it. Its really good until you hit those loans LOL. Thx developers.
Get this game, its so worth it.
This is a fun game to play with your friends or family we would recommended this game for ages 6+ it is an awesome game. We think the real board game is better than the screen because we do not like to be on screens to much, but this games is very fun 5-5 stars.
Its very good im having so much fun and you should definitely get it.
We love this game because it calms us down when Im stressed or when Im mad it makes us happy when Im sad it makes us feel better and to add on its the best if you like winning it also helps your grade.
Grew up playing this board game, so happy its mobile now! Recently taught our 7 year old child how to play, she loves it. Sometimes on the go we will pull the phone out and play a quick game of life. We hope everyones families can bond on this game as much as ours did. Peace & Love from everyones Mama <3.
Is is alright we mean its alright.
This is a great game for all ages. Our two young grand children 6 & 8 love to play with us. We play by ourselves all the time. Great reminders of our childhood.
We won more that 2,000,000,000 times.
If you dont want to spend the money on the actual bored game then get this rn theres absolutely no ads and pop up payments (other than in game money) Im not stopping there for we also want to say what we dont like about this game it costs irl money to unlock more bords other than that its a amazing game good job.
Chat. This game is such a w. We play it during school, at home, before work, and we love it so much we play it by ourselves and we still wont get bored. This is 100% better than monopoly go. Monopoly go makes us want to through our phone across the room. But not this game. Whenever im bored we just play the game of life. If you want to be more intellectual play this game it will help you become a philosopher just like us. If we could only play one game for the rest of our life it would be the game of life. The first thing we do when we get home is play this game.
This is the best game EVER!!!!!!!!!! And its just like the real game! And if you dont have someone to play with than there is always the option to play with a computer! Its so fun and Im literally addicted to this game.
This is great for family because we never fail to be bored when we play this and we always succeed when we play 10 out of 10.
Hi! Im 9 and we love this game and we played it since we were very little. So their is nothing wrong with this game and to people who said it is they are 100% wrong. This game is awesome and we love it ! Byyyyye.
