1.Crazy little thing called love
This is one of my two most favourite songs.I have no words to describe how lovely it is.And also Freddie looks like some kind of LEATHER DEITY^^
2.Save Me
The guitar solo is great,and Freddie's voccalls power is incredible.

Right the reason why i havent picked:
Crazy Little Thing Called Love
Another One Bites The Dust
Save Me
Play The Game
Is because, they are all on Greatest Hits 1 and i had that CD way before i got the actual albums and i got abit tired of listening to them. Dont get me wrong i still love them but i'm so used to hearing it always that I dont really like them alot as my faves.

1. PTG - The sound effects in the middle. Sounds like Asteroids or Galaxian. The ones at the top are okay though.

Absolutely agree. I actually love this song, but admit to fast-forwarding past this part... or at the least, looking around to make sure no one realizes I'm playing it.

What a wonderful album, very nice one!
My favourite is impossible to choose, but i really like AOBTD and Rock it. I think they should have played Rock it more live!!

Sorry but The Game for me is Queen's worst album. There is no out and out hard rock, save for Dragon Attack perhaps, which is ruined by Mack's soulless production. It still has its good moments though
PTG- I do like this song- it's too slow maybe which is why I prefer the faster live version but at least it has the pleasant Queen hallmarks.
DA- Probably the best song- again better live (says a lot about Mack!)but the guitar work is great and the percussion solo works well.
AOBTD- Well it was good funk music, I suppose- much better on stage. JD at his best.
NYLT- Trips over its own power chords- it's a MOR light rock song that a band like Queen should have avoided. John Deacon at his worst I am afraid.
CLTCL- A good single- a novelty piece- needs a piano though to give it some bottom end. the handclapping annoys me.
Rock it- Appalling song. How did this ever get on a Queen record. It's new wave hogwash, a horrid,underwhelming riff, dated synthesisers. it's the sound of a band trying to rock but who have forgotten how to.
DTS- Just as bad as Rock It- Very badly structured- annoying finger clicks and a fat bass (it ruined GDML as well!)More new wave garbage with some 1950s gestures thrown in.
SASS- A good ballad, yes. Sung beautifully and synthesisers are used tastefully. Thank goodness for Brian May's song writing
CS- Again, it's very limp, threadbare rock. Completely underwhelming. It would have been great if Roger had made it heavier like SHA but instead it does nothing for me. Too sparse.
SM- Over-rate din my view but still very good. Could have done with some bigger vocal harmonies and for me it gets boring after a while. Still the chorus is great and the acoustic work is stunning.

The Game is a great introductory ablum, but I don't think it really stands up compared to many of their 70's albums...There isn't much flow; it feels more like a singles album than a bonafide LP.
I may be jaded; when I was a kid, I owned the Greatest Hits I and II for years before getting a single other album, so many of the tracks (Another One, Play the Game, Save Me, Crazy Little Thing) were absolutely killed for me, and I skipped them often, leaving me with much less.

The Game... What a wonderful album!
The title track (Play the Game)
is a great love song...
Dragon Attack, Need Your Lovin' Tonight,
Rock It, they really rock!
Save Me and Sail Away are so sweet...
Coming Soon -what a intriguing rhytm!
just like Don't Try Suicide...
Bites The Dust and Crazy Little Thing -
what can I say? Two of the most famous Queen
singles... Is there anyone on Earth who
doesn't know 'em?
Wonderful album, guys!
Really wonderful...

favourites are - Dust, Play The Game, Dragon Attack, Crazy Little Thing, Save Me.
Play The Game - decent opener, I really like how it amps up near the end
8/10
Dragon Attack - love the all-around guitar work by John and Brian
9/10
Another One Bites The Dust - decent song, but its not their best and I don't like the direction it led them in
7/10
Need Your Loving Tonight - this song rocks, love it. The guitar solo is one of my favorites
10/10
Crazy Little Thing Called Love - awesome tribute to rock and roll, the live version is even better
9/10
Rock It (Prime Jive) - further proving Roger was the weakest songwriter of the bunch, this song sucks
3/10
Don't try Suicide - meh
6/10
Sail Away Sweet Sister - ranks right up there with '39 as the best Brian song
10/10
Coming Soon - nothing special, no reaosn to listen twice
5/10
Save Me - great one, Brian was really on his game (no pun intended) for this album
9/10
really good album dragged down by its 2nd side, but they wouldn't be this good again till The Miracle.

The Game is a pretty good album I really like 'Sail Away Sweet Sister' it's probably in my top 5 Queen songs. The only song I don't like is 'Don't Try Suicide' otherwise I like the whole thing.
the game is a good album, I would says it's the last classic queen album until innuendo and MIH, but it's probably my 8th favorite behind the first six and innuendo, it's pretty even with jazz in my opinion. My favs are "play the game" 'dragon attack' and 'save me' my least favorite is 'comming soon.'
Another One Bites The Dust;)
