Love the classic board game? Then you’re likely to feel the same way about the iPhone version

The Game of Life: Classic Edition is a $5 board-game recreation from Electronic Arts. It’s a faithful homage, and it’s about as fun as the family board game itself. To that end, your feelings about the iPhone version will likely depend on just how positive your feelings are toward the original game.

Game of Life

I think I must have entered my second childhood, but I LOVE playing this game. It's as fun, easy, and frustrating as the board game I played as a kid. Plus, unlike the new EA Monopoly game, it's faithful to the original board game, with more bells and whistles. Kids as well as adults will get a kick out of it. The only thing that would make it more interesting would be IF you could swap out the game board for new squares to land on . I would think an update of this sort would be possible. OR have it playable on differing levels of difficulty. But I do love playing it as it is!
