It doesn't go well toghether, they use different chords at several places in the song.
Play the game is more complex than Imagine structure-wise. You can clearly hear that Freddie sings in a different key than the accompanying music at several places, making it sound messed up.
Would have been better if the music started immediately, then at least that first verse would have fitted. Now it starts at the second verse, causing Freddie to be in the wrong key immediately.
Anybody with ears hears that 'this is your life' is in a very wrong key ;)

David, in some way I don't think I've got a great set of musical ears. But I've listened 3 times over and I think the melody line falls very well into the Imagine track. I don't hear something badly out of key at all.
Adam.
EDIT: SCRATCH THAT! It's just, Mr I'm the best in the world and everyone else is crap, chimed in. I'll disregard his comments then. Business as usual.

Ok, then we will have to settle with 'dissonant' sounding parts :P

Do you ALWAYS have to be so negative?[/QUOTE]
How am I being negative? I thought it was crap. Sorry if it upsets you.[/QUOTE]
Hmm, I guess you missed the part where I was mocking you.[/QUOTE]
I think you need to try harder.[/QUOTE]
No I just think your memory needs some work or else you would've got it.

That's what I said too, but they said I was crazy by saying so.
I'm sorry, but I definately have good musical ears, I'm working as a musician and also as a jury for songfestivals etc., and I can tell you that the keys of both songs are indeed totally different.
That doesn't mean that it automatically has to sound bad (I mean, lots of modern classical music uses 'wrong' combinations and still sound good and I can appreciate that too), but in most popmusic it simply doesn't work quite well.
