Customer Reviews

see for yourself
After reading previous reviews about this software I considered not buying it, how pleased I am that I ignored them and bought it anyway !!!!!
My son is well impressed with the game. If you just want to relax and can't be bothered to get out the board then this is fine. Obviously, if you are looking for high-flying tycoon game then this is not it. This item has some scathing reviews which i feel are unjustified.
In short, I am pleased with the product, and it saves me having to sit with my son with all the bits and pieces spread all over the living room (most of which end up in the hoover !!!)

Monopoly without the fun
Monopoly is one of my favourite games and I consider it the best board game ever made.
I found this New Edition cheap for the PC,so I thought I would give it a go. I thought it would be ideal since I could play against a computer opponent. The game graphics do look OK with the board looking good and some nice animated effects when the tokens move. I do find it becomes repetitive fairly quickly because I get the feeling the computer Cheats. The computer player seems to get all of the luck and I seem to end up paying all the fines with little chance to buy property. Yes, this does happen sometimes when playing the actual board game, but not in every game played lol. Then there's the annoying repeat voices, which really grates after sometime. It's not exactly awful, but it's flawed taking the fun out of playing.

Monopoly
So far I have only played the computer on this game. The moves move so quickly its very hard to keep track of whats going on when the computer is buying anything. I would agree with a previous review that even when looking at the full board its difficult to keep track of who owns what etc, this is one downside of the computer version of this game.
I notice the variation in cards dealt with commumity chest and chance don't seem to be the same in number as in the board game. I ended up going to jail 3 times in 20 mins. The number of doubles thrown by the dice seems higher than usual as well.
If you can buy this cheap is probably still worth buying though.
