About Jones - Life in the fast lane

Is it a life simulation game? Is it a board game? Probably a little of both, but it's definitely a game you're familiar with!

For years now, we have all been waiting in-anticipation, hoping to introduce Jones to your kids and have some fun all playing together!

What is this game, you ask? It’s a board-game style Game of Life simulator. You simply play week by week, figuring out how much of the week’s time to allocate for various activities. Choose between eating (dohh), relaxing at home, working, or learning in Hi-Tech U.

Of course you need to manage your budget through all of this and decide when to buy shiny new TV, move to better housing or try to find a better job.

You are Jones, play against other Jones's online, create a game and invite your friends, what are you waiting for?

The game has great depth, look easy? (phaa).. how are your time management skills, can you win against your opponents?

Now with Pass 'n Play, Online play & single player challenge!!

Great game but it keeps freezing i wont my money back. At over $4 it is annoying me that out of 3 games i have only been able to finish 1 without it freezing me out of my game

M70%
by M####:

This game is not at all like the original,time gets used while you're walking somewhere and wild willy is everywhere but never robes Jones which is unfair!!!

D70%
by D####:

I remember this game from my youth but the app is sub par. Glitches, froze just as I started to get some momentum in a long game. Wild Willy hits me far too often. No way to go back into your game if you accidentally go to the menu, but somehow I want to play again...

F70%
by F####:

Needs to be more similar to the original, it doesn't have the same feel to it. Hope the developers can work on bringing back some of the original content. Still a great game

I loved playing this game when I was in grade school and still love playing in my thirties! I spent the $3 to download it to my daughter's tablet so we could connect and play together but the online connect is not working ): And like other reviews, I would give it 5 stars if able to change character instead of being Jones.

M70%
by M####:

Can't pause games. Difficult to tell if playing online or locally. Time frame for each week is unreasonable and makes you wait for Jones to play (annoying as). Can't customise playing piece. Very little little like the dos version. Not worth the cost of the download.

I bought the game and it froze while loading. It continues to freeze every time I open the game. I have a Galaxy Samsung S7 and a 32GB SD card. Can't tell you how the game is because I can't get into the game it freezes and the only way to get it to continue is to minimize the window and then go back to it and then it'll glitch and continue this is not the way a game should be played I want my money back.

Will give 5 stars when i figure out hiw to play the AI. Only reason i bought the game was to play while on break at work as i played this game and never lost growing up against my friends

Should be free until all the issues mentioned have been sorted out.

I can't invite friends or play the multiplayer mode plus you should be able to adjust settings to make the game harder.

I like the game but after I played a couple games it started freezing whenever it was Jones turn. Fix that and I'd give it a 4.

Z70%
by Z####:

It's a fun game and it definitely reminds me of the old PC game I used to play. The only issue I have with it, is that when playing against the "computer" I'm the only one that bad things keep happening to. Nothing happens to the computer character. How many times in one game can I get my money stolen by Willie and lose my job while the computer gets to walk around with $1000+ and nothing happens to him.

Z70%
by Z####:

Dont buy unless they improve it. No 1 player, no character or goal choices, can only play online, and timing is off

Y70%
by Y####:

The game will not run if you are not connected to the Internet (the "checking update feature will run for ever). So no gaming abroad or in flight. Plus no multi-player, and the AI opponent isn't that challenging. Otherwise could have been 5stars

This is a great game and bring back my childhood memories.. if only I don't get robbed almost everyday.. If only I don't have to spend too much time to go here and there... Please fix this and follow the original game... :)

Loved the original, played hundreds or maybe thousands of times. I can't for the life of me find how to change my avatar though :(

Game keeps freezing... If that was known at the start I would not of purchased it. Let down to the original game. So sad..

Wont stop loading to even play the game!!!!

G70%
by G####:

Installed game, gave up waiting for it to load, 5 mins later it was only half way through loading, even loading a game on a cassette never took this long. Uninstalled and refunded.

Z70%
by Z####:

Charge money for game and ask for money in game. Not good cant even start full game without coins. No good no good no good

J70%
by J####:

I like the game because I remember playing the original as a kid. With that being said I would give this a 5 star rating if the online feature would work, if it wouldn't keep freezing, if we could choose different Avatars and if the AI's difficulty could be adjusted. If you had the AI play smarter than you could have his wallet lifted at least once. I had mine lifted almost 10 times in one full game but the AI never has it lifted. As to the online, it won't let me use that feature at all even with 5 coins.

D70%
by D####:

First things first, it stole 2 gold coins off me to start online games without starting any online games. Secondly, game play... There's no settings or help options for smart/dumb difficulty modes for the "computer player" or ability to change goals to your own settings, makes gameplay pretty boring after just a few rounds especially when u can't access the promised "online" modes advertised on the play store before you pay.... Other "annoying" things that have changed from good old DOS, can now only bank in lots of $100, no avatars (you also play as Jones) and no "stats" list to check bank balance or wage amount.... Love this game (original), was so looking forward to the new version, but theft of game gold (stuff u purchase with real money) and not being able to even use half the game I purchased (online content) makes me very dissatisfied and left feeling like I didn't get what I payed for. If u fix online and missing gold I'll be happy to change this review, but till that time, my opinion stands, such a shame really.

by H####:

But it stole my money. I bought 25 coins for 0.99 but never received the coins. Also please fix the online. I will change to 5 stars once I receive my coins and online if fixed.

D70%
by D####:

How ridiculous, no one gets mugged 5 times a week..except me when I play jones...getting very frustrated when all my money gets stolen when I arrive at the bank...
