Playing LIFE as a video game is more like watching a cartoon. The difference is Monopoly can still be interactive and cerebral as a video game. In fact, I really like Monopoly for the PS. Seriously, I'm a big fan of board games so I'm definitely not biased against these games. They actually thought this inherently social game would make a good single-player experience (thanks to John Davison for pointing this out). And finally, a slap on the wrist to the folks at Hasbro Interactive. Furthermore, the defendant is guilty of disturbing the peace with repetitive bubblegum music and mundane cinematic clips. I bring The Game of LIFE up on several charges, including: A) Failure to produce significant excitement, B) Lack of interesting options or features to bring the game up to the '90s era, and C) Forcing players to hand off a single controller while playing multiplayer.

But making the Game of LIFE into one should be. The idea of making a classic board game into a video game is not necessarily a bad one.
