2.0 out of 5 stars The "old" Strategy Guide, January 5, 2002

By 

Phillip H. Beard (Dayton, OH USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Monopoly Tycoon: Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)

I'm an adult--agewise. This book will not be much help beyond the game guide that came with the game software. The basic strategy recommendation for single player was made obsolete by a software patch released after the strategy guide was published. One or two minor points were in the strategy guide that I did not pick up from the game documentation. The game website has better strategy hints for free! Save your money for something better or an updated edition. The multiplayer strategy said than human players were unpredictable and most of the single player strategies were not appropriate. There's a news flash for the cable news channels!!!

So, if you would like to have the upper hand and have power/hegemony over what happens in this game then why are you reading this you should be out there buying the guide!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Misled, December 11, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Monopoly Tycoon: Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)

This book is to assist you with the COMPUTER GAME, "Monopoly Tycoon", not the board game "Monopoly". I bought the book for assistance with the board game, being misled by the editorial description.
