I bought The Game the day it came out in the summer of 1980. This was a summer when you could turn on the radio and almost ALWAYS hear a song from that album. It was everywhere. Really big here in the States. To me this was the album that ended one era and began a new one. Primarily because of their use of synths. But it was still a great album to hear. What a great summer that was for the band... and me.

The Game is great. It has a sort of fresh sound that Reinhold Mack can be blamed for.
I liked the Game album best on the audio DVD version, to hear it on 5.1 it sounds much better.
I never liked "Rock it" much, but on 5.1 it takes on a new life on its own, and turned up loud - it really rips !! I hope they do more of these DTS Audios soon.

Great album! I couldn't stop listening to Need Your Loving Tonight for a long time. Then I became addicted to Rock It for a time. I don't think it's one of their best, but it is definately worth owning.
Yeah, this album is fabulous! Imo Brian outdid himself in songwriting, but the rest were outstanding as well.
The Game was the first album I really fell in love with when I started liking Queen. I think it's the most accessible when you're starting to like them, whereas it takes bit of time to appreciate albums like Queen II.
i agree, 'the game' is a great place to start for a new fan. queen2 is my favorite of all time but i must admit it's a required taste. 'the game' is a bit more of a easy listen for a beginner. 'need your lovin' sounds like it should have been a hit, it's so catchy. 'prime jive' had to grow on me, but now i think it's great.
I like the album, not there best but very close. Has probally the most underated Queen song on it in "Need Your Loving Tonight". Is one of my favorite Queen songs and can't see why it never really became one of there big hits. The other highlight for me on the album is Freddie's intro to "Prime Jive". One of the only songs off a studio album to really showcase his amazing range and vocals................Peace
Somebody described it as wicked! Absolutely agreed.
It's totally wicked... Great! :)
