  • Great game when high!

    My best friend have been playing this game together for almost 2 years together. It’s best when you’re high though. Great game, just wish there was more to it. It would be epic if they had more maps and more characters. Once you unlock everything it’s kinda….repetitive., and the maps do get old. But overall a great game, my best friend and i love it. I did have to play for the VIP TWICE. Which did make me mad bc the VIP isn’t cheap. But still recommend. 8/10

  • THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER!!!

    5 & 4 star reviews

    I’ve dreamt of getting this game but on my Xbox it was so much money and I literally just got this today and I’ve only played one game and it is the best thing ever. I love it so much. I just wish you guys could make it cheaper on my Xbox but besides that I love this game I wouldn’t make any adjustments. It’s so much fun and I love how there’s no ads.

  • Game-play improvement

    Qasoriwh

    Hi.I’m giving feedback for game play improvement. It’s worth the money for dlcs if this game changed the board pathway every map. So instead of being a copy paste of the original map path, it changed with each map giving players more incentive to actually buy DLC and have more fun when they do. I also think the game can be a little more interactive , for example being more in depth with the life options, if I get to buy a house maybe I get 4 houses to choose from instead of 2 or it can go to auction and all players can bid on it. I’m not sure how much more you can add given the nature of it being a “board game” but something like that. Lastly, I think it’d be super cool as either a mini game option when you hit a normal choice point or as stand alone version to have a sabotage mode. Kind of like “pummel party” to make the game more competitive. Overall a good game would just love to see some of these features , especially the path change, added to make the game more immersive. Thank you

  • Good game, needs more

    +bak

    I love this game so much, it gives me a nostalgic feeling while playing. After reading other reviews I see I am not the only person who feels the game needs to be more versatile and spontaneous. This game is fun but almost every game feels the same. The job choices are always the same, I wish I could pick from a wider selection besides, pop start, robot designer and astronomer. Also it doesn’t feel like it matters what paths I choose when it comes to family or education. I hardly ever get the option to choose housing or families. When I do get to pick a family it’s not fun because I can’t pick twins or get a spontaneous tile that says “you had triplets”. It just feels like I’m constantly playing to get the little icons which isn’t a very interactive experience. I don’t mind how short the games are because they shouldn’t be that long but at the same time, I paid for the app and yet I don’t have any options to play different maps. The options for the different maps if you are going to make me pay for them, should just be separate games. This game would be so much more fun if the puzzle pieces I collected would lead to me unlocking other maps. I understand that the company needs to make money but I still think it’s ridiculous that I pay for the game and there isn’t any actual progress I can make in the game.

  • I’m actually surprised .....

    Leelee8080

    I really enjoy the original game Life 1, and based off the reviews for this new Life 2, I was a bit apprehensive . I have to say that the earning of puzzle pieces, gives an incentive and feel of accomplishment when the game ends, rather then in the original game, if I won, there was no real feel of victory and felt anticlimactic. There is still non stop action in this new version , just like the original , however, the one MAJOR flaw and disappointment I have is they did away with ALL the “player vs player “ competitive games that were such a big and more importantly , FUN component in the original version.How and why they would take out those mini player on player games, I’ll never understand. Those were a major part of the game. Now it’s just spinning the spinner. Really shot themselves In the foot making what could have been a Awesome new game into a decent game. Although, I can’t say I like it more or less, it’s just a coin toss at this point. If they added the competition games to version 2, then that game would have everything I wanted from day 1 in the first game. I always said they should keep score on players to add incentive to want to keep playing, and the puzzle pieces do it. Hope they add the side games to the second version, and I’m a 40 year old female saying this and I love playing. Just sayin.

  • Not as described

    In the description of the app, it describes how everything is available upon purchase and that access to more content can be purchased with a season pass. That’s what I expected. What I didn’t expect was the game to be so wanting. I remember enjoying the first Life app. I was excited for its sequel especially since they seemed to have added other ways of winning besides having the most money. During the game, players try to gain investment points, career points, and happiness points on top of money. The entire board is literally made up of spaces you can land on to increase any of one of these. The only spaces that are different are action spaces and tax spaces.. On action spaces you spin for any one of these (including the possibility of getting taxed/losing money). So… there really isn’t that much to the game as it claims. That’s it.. that’s literally it to the game. Plus, I think the app might be a little buggy? At one point when I got the marriage event my partner choices wouldn’t disappear from the screen. So I had to continue playing with 3 large squares blocking me from seeing anything. I couldn’t close out of the app because then it would’ve ended the game for everyone. It was really distracting and made this game even less enjoyable.
