Rated - 3 starsSimple but nice

A nice game if you play with the family. Playing it on a single player mode gets boring after a while.

Rated - 1 starVery poor version

A customer from London , 22/12/2008

I've played many versions of computer Monopoly over the years and this has to be one of the worst. The graphics are nice to look at, but they're about its only saving grace.

The game play is slow. 'Mr Monopoly' walks around the board throughout the game constantly telling you how the game works and what cards do what. He's about as annoying as the paperclip in Word, except you can't turn him off.

Trading with other players takes many clciks and if the first offer is rejected then you have to start over. Why can't you adjust the deal and try again? Never mind.

Also, the controller vibrates on full power every time it's your turn.

The only options in the game are whether to have subtitles or not. There are no controller, volume or picture options. You can't turn off vibrate from within the game. You can't turn off the indescribably annoying narrator.

Overall, this is a perfect example of style over content. Rent it for a day if you want to experience it, but certainly don't waste money on this if you like Monopoly.

Rated - 0 starsi wouldnt choose this game

A customer from Stockport , 29/12/2008

i would think this game could be good but wouldnt it be simpler just to blow the dust off that old monopoly board & play it like it was played. back in 1933. It would have more atmosphere if there was the guy you couldnt trust or the guy whos your best friend. Thats the whole point in monopoly in the board game. You cant cheat secretively or you cant work with someone. Theres no point to this....
