I came in expecting the board game too, but I wasn't disappointed.

I've heard this game varies significantly region to region, with some regions even receiving well below average reception when compared to others. Can anyone confirm major differences? I'm sure people are just over-reacting.

I have to say, this game is really unforgiving. You only get one spawn and no saves. You don't even get to pick your character class when you start.

I've always been sad that the game of life isn't compatible with the game genie.

I'm starting to get the impression that I'm not even the main character in this game.

It would be nice if this game wasn't online only. Playing with people can suck.

Sometimes it's fun to look through the game's highscores to see what people managed to achieve. Conversely, the biggest griefers are also immortalized.

It's a shame that most of the best in-game cheats and items are banned by the government. I will admit that some of them can break the game though.

The sex mini games are few and far between in my copy. Anyone else getting that bug?

Meh, Sonic 3 is better.

The DRM is draconian.

But even then, do you really get to keep experience / items?

The board game is terrible, nearly everything is up to chance rather than skill.

This fairy won't shut up and all the NPCs seem to think I'm insane.
