4.0 out of 5 stars Beats the original, September 2, 2001

This review is from: Monopoly (CD-ROM)

If you spent your childhood always having to pick up your Monopoly board before you and your friends could finish a game, then this is for you. You can customize your game in about 20 different ways, including short game rules, the "free parking rule," and imposing penalties for mortgaging property.

The most innovative feature is a game calculator that instantly calculates things like your net worth (great if you land on that "10% or $200" square) or the future value of a property to your or other players. You can make trades with your computer opponents, and you can choose from game boards featuring photos of about 10 different cities (or customize a board to your own city using the easy game board editor).

Two piques: 1) Although you can turn off the token voices, "game host" voice, and noisome music, you don't have the option of turning off the basic sound effects. 2) The game board jumps around to different angles with every move. Other than that, very fun game!

3.0 out of 5 stars Bloody Hell!, May 21, 2004

This review is from: Monopoly (CD-ROM)

I love Monopoly but it's a pain in the royal chambers to set up all the money and clean it up after you're done. I thought this game would get rid of those problems, which it did, but it also made new ones. The host sound like a yankee carnie from the early 90's, dare I say. The computer always maanages to land on his own properties all the time and is quite stubborn in the trade aspect. This game frequently freezes, which is another annoyance. Finally, the map editor. It seems like a brilliant idea, but you can't save your bloody work! Overall, if you enjoy playing cartoon-like games, this is for you.

Monopoly is one of those games you may not want to play with friends because basically someone has to win and everyone else really loses. However, here you can play with someone on-line or on another computer hooked up to your or with computer players. One word of caution: the computer players cheat a lot!
