"Monopoly Party" is a fun game. Some might think since it's a classic old-fashioned board game that it probably wouldn't be good as a video game, but it actually is. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys the original Monopoly. It's easy to grasp how everything works and how to play. It's also a lot more convenient.

This attempt to give Monopoly fans an entertaining experience in a PS2 console is an absolute failure. The graphics are sub-standard (you must have a 50+inch TV in order to read the titles), the gameplay is simple and not very interactive (just press X to roll, press X to buy, and you will be pressing X for a long time with no real interaction with the game. The animations are dull (when the hat moves you have to wait a longgg time before it arrives to its final square...obviously, you could turn the animations off, but that would just make the game even sleepier...)
If you were waiting for a Monopoly game such as the ones made for PCs, this is not the case. Maybe you should wait for another PS2 version of this great game.

You may enjoy this game if you are like me and like to sit back and have a none complex game that happens at your own pace and can be as involving as you want it to be. Okay, so it's not super snazzy or high tec, but the different themes you can play makes it kind of fun. I enjoy sitting back once everyone has gone to bed, bring out the chocolates, light some candles, and play! I have played this in party mode too and that was fun but you might have to share control pads.

Monopoly party is a great game. It's a great 4 player family game and it's fun for kids. You can chose different worlds and characters and even houses! I think the best way to play it is with a family with 4 people. I also think this game is wonderful. My little sister loves this and likes it a bit more than the board game because of the characters. She loves being funny characters and by pressing R2 on the control doing a little move. Overall i love this game!

This is a fun game if you like to sit back and just push a button instead of having to actually roll the dice and move your token like on the real board game. You can play by your self with the computer or play with up to 4 players. There are 4 themes for the game board and tokens you can pick like the classic and sci- fi and prehistoric. It can go on for hours of fun or can get boring if no trading or building goes on.

Monopoly on PS2 is very enjoyable. It's fun to play alone with three other computer players or with your buddies. Playing with the computer is a CRACK UP! as it attempts to swindle you into agreeing to the most absurd trade proposals. Its quite easy to use because it mostly consists of only pressing X. Although its not exactly like the board game, its tons of fun without having to choose which one of your trustworthy friends should be the "banker". Oh, and there's no clean up afterwards. I highly recommend this game just remember to keep an open mind.

Each player rolls together and moves at the same time, so with four players everyone is buying, trading and building all at once. Your friends can "cut you a deal" or make you bankrupt. Includes classic game board and four theme boards with theme tokens. One player can compete against computer players.

I used to enjoy Monopoly as a kid, but sometimes you can play and other times you could not because you did not have anyone else to play with. Problem solved with this PS2 Monopoly Party Game. It is magnificent because you can play against the computer. The graphics are cool and you can pick different themes such as sci-fi, ancient times, pre-historic, fantasy and classic. The game is very animated and it is educational as well. You can play with as many as four players at a time. The cool thing about the game is that you do not have to wait for the computer to walk etc because you could just hit the X button and it fast forwards to the next place without having to wait for the piece to move space by space. It has 3 different difficulty levels and it is pretty straightforward; especially if you know how to play the original monopoly game the rules are the same. An extra cool feature is that you can change the rules as you wish. Finally, what I enjoyed the most about this game was that in order to win all of the time you have to know how to deal with money. I recently read Robert Kiyosaki's Unfair Advantage book and he talks about the importance of cash flow. He often alludes to the Monopoly game and so I decided to apply his principles to the game and it is very enjoyable to practice investing with the game before going out there and investing in real houses etc. Great game!

One feature I like about this game is the Party Mode option, which allows all the players to move at once, speeding up the game. Up to four can play, CPUs take the place of any non-humans. You can also play the classic version, where every player moves in turn around the board.

For settings, you can choose the Claasic, or sci-fi, fantasy, prehistoric or ancient monuments. For property names, you can choose U.S., U.K., Spanish, French, Italian or German. There are tutorials you can see to learn how to auction, trade, buy properties, etc. Trying to trade with CPU opponents can be time consuming and tricky, so beware! But overall, this is a fun game and you don't have to put all the pieces back in the box where you're done.

This game is awesome. Up to for players offline. No online play. But there is a party option in the game where you and your friends can all roll after the same time and not wait ever. If you are looking for a game to play with your wife online this is the one to buy. It has like 10 different boards to choose from. All with different tokens to use. The cool thing the spots you land on dont have the same names as the classic board.
