About This GameThis Grand Life is a personal finance simulator where you create a character, manage their money and help them achieve their life goals. Cruise your way through life with a silver spoon, or struggle endlessly to find employment as a convicted felon. You cannot control your past, but you can change your future. What choices will you make?Inspired by Sierra's 1990 game Jones In The Fast Lane, your life is divided into weeks. You try to accomplish as much as you can each week while economic conditions and special events create interesting choices to think about. Do I go to work this week, or take part in the Hot Dog Eating competition at the park? Should I spend time looking for a better job, or stick with my current job until economic conditions improve?

Great upgrade!. No. This has nowhere near tthe character as Jones. No voice acting. No AI opponent. 37 years later and they can't even come close!. This game is truly awesome! I love it. Sure it`s a lot of clicking BUT if you like some kind of Life-sim and Tycoon games you should try "This Grand Life" out! It's definitely worth your money.. I absolutely love this game. I love the time management and finance management of it. I would sit down to play and my real life time would disapper. I like starting with nothing and end up owning a business or two. I ended up with a graphic design business and started buying real estate to rent out for extra money. I can't wait to see what else the Dev adds to the game!. Fun little life simulator.
I think the game could be a lot better but it's very possible I just don't know it well enough to know better. I don't think I can recommend this game as it stands. But I was really hoping to. Update: I have now completed all the achievements for the game and can affirm my original assessment to not recommend this game. The daily grind can be fun but quickly can be monotonous and worse, it gets progressively easier. There are very little challenges in the late stages of the game. Once you acheive financial independence, success is inevitable. Another frustration is that you can simply choose to be anti-social and save yourself from the troubles of marriage and/or kids. You definitely can choose not to have kids because there is no sex drive in the game. There is also little randomness to the game, the notable exception is that theft can be a possibility but you can basically only be sick if you are unhealthy. Again, this is pretty easy to handle provided you don't go after a relationship. Bottom line, This Grand Life attempts at a life simulator that isn't an overbearing micro-manager but I think the developer missed the mark with that balance. There is a whole lot of nuance to our life's decisons and this simulator is too broad for my tastes. Specific criticisms: * Dates take too long and are ridiculously costly. I do get that it's stretched out over a week and is more of a representation of your wealth, but I did not like the optics of it. It's also strange that I have no choice in what I spend my money on?! I'd much rather propose a cheap date and be turned down then be forced into an expensive and time consuming date with a meaningly less secondary character. * There is no real choice is a spouse; one partner is the same as the other. More specifically, spouses could have qualities that benefit or hurt the family. * Spouses should have individual goals that may change. For example, you may want kids, and your spouse may not. If those goals don't match then Yahoo is off limits....except if you have contraception....and then there is a much lower risk of pregnancy - but you both have sex drives, so....choose. Happiness could be affected by how many of the goals are aligned. A house activity would be talk things out provided relationship is good. If relationship is bad, the character would need to work on that before resolving these other issues. *Goals should be permitted to be adjusted every so often. Life changes and often we have to readjust our ambitions. * A limit of four employees is laughable. A second tier of management/sales should be there to pick jobs efficiently. * Your character should dictate the influence of certain activities. For example, my lazy character should really enjoy TV - but as far as I could see, this was a static "variable". * Sex drive should be monitored. The effect of sex should vary with age, marital status, happiness, etc. * There is ZERO negative influence for having more wealth as best I can tell. I think this is problematic and especially so when it concerns happiness of both the character and his/her family. Money doesn't buy happiness.....I admit it helps but it is certainly not the end-all-be-all. * There is no influence of other people outside of family and even that is practically nil. I could probably go on for a while longer. Suffice it to say that while I allowed the game to distract me for far too long, it's a basic but still incomplete life simulator that I cannot recommend. I'll come back to it if I notice a major update but I think I've worn this one out already.
