The Game of Life: from board game to next gen console

It may not include an old man wearing a top hat and a monocle, but as board games go, The Game of Life is one that’s sure to rekindle our counter top gaming interests once again as it hops onto the next generation console bandwagon. Originally created by Milton Bradley (now a subsidiary of Hasbro) in the 1960s, it has gone through several revisions as a board game ever since. Anyway, here we have a ton of screenshots for its Wii incarnation.

While the graphics may not push the limits of your Wii console to its limits, one notable feature is its compatibility to use the Mii system to represent your character in the game. This probably implies the emphasis of the game on multiplayer interaction rather than hard hitting gameplay and graphics.

All the other features from the board game and its other digital counterparts seem to be there as well, from its patented teetotum spinner to all its outrageous mini-games. Either way, anyone who’s enjoyed the board game will have to wait for its release in the future. Until then, enjoy these screenshots of the game.

More screenshots after the jump!
