As the latest act in its partnership with board game manufacturer Hasbro, Electronic Arts has released an iPhone port of The Game of Life ($4.99).
The Game of Life allows players to amass a virtual fortune, achieve their wildest career dreams, and have lots of beautiful and successful children. Of course, all of this means nothing if the competing players have bigger fortunes, wilder dreams, and more successful children. To win at The Game of Life, your life must be so good that it makes other people feel bad.
The Game of Life includes the following features:
- Navigate your way through a stunning, 3D environment
- Enjoy the ease of innovative controls and animated tokens
- Turn up the fun and Pass’N Play with up to 3 friends
- Gain tiles worth big bucks when you land on “Life Spaces”
- Collect “Share The Wealth Cards” for your chance at becoming a millionaire
- Recreate your life each time you play and savor endless hours of replay
