I love this Simpsons edition of the Life board game. It is hilarious and includes many small fun facs or direct quotes that a diehard fan like me remembers from the series. The first time I played it with my two smaller siblings, I couldn't stop laughing all through the game.
As far as the gameplay goes, there are many nuances like buying a house, getting a job (depending on your level of education,) buying insurance for your car and/or house, all with humorous names (like Otto Insurance.) True Simpsons fans will understand this pun.
The durability of this game is great! There is nothing to break in it. The tokens are plastic cars which couldn't be broken short of a direct nuclear missile hit and the game board includes plastic houses (like Springfield Elementary School, the powerplant, Burns' Manor, etc.) and only the money is likely to be crumpled during gameplay (especially with my kids.)
Overall it's a GREAT game and I recommend it very much.
 Do NOT pay full price!, 2008-01-14
I feel like I always get a lot out of the games I buy b/c we MAKE them fun even if they are duds. We alter the rules to suit us. For ex, we often make a kid and teen/adult team so the little ones can play along too.
This game is very cheaply made. (95% of Simpson products are the same. Those Krusty product jokes must be based on the real Simpsons merchandise.)It takes a long time to set up and disassemble the plastic pieces for each game. Your token is still the classic Life car with the colored pegs. Come'on, couldn't they have done better?
Life is a bit of difficult game b/c it's harder for children to understand and by the time they do, they probably won't want to play. Adults are unlikely to enjoy the novelty of bills, etc b/c that's their everyday life.
