Amazon.com Review
Searching for new thrills in your pursuit of pure capitalist success? If you can limit at least some of your ambitions to a board game, you're in luck. Monopoly is here, and with integrated Internet connectivity, you can now challenge other Monopolists worldwide. The classic game--updated for the PC--still gives you all the satisfaction of being the proprietor of Park Place and Boardwalk. It also lets you weasel your way out of jail with a thin excuse for a card in your (virtual) hands. Keeping to the visual appeal of its 1930s characters, the software also boasts animated versions of favorite board pieces. While Monopoly is obviously a strong choice for a family of players, don't kid yourself that you'll beat the game every time in solo play. If you're not paying close attention, the package's superior A.I. engine is likely to see that you'll wind up broke. This is a rare success story of a classic game that makes the jump to a new medium. The creators of Monopoly deserve a firm handshake and slap on the back, and a big roll of funny paper money. --Jennifer Buckendorff
Amazon.com Product Description
Hasbro Interactive has managed to make an old-time favorite even better. This version of Monopoly includes the features we have loved for years--Boardwalk, Community Chest, Go Directly to Jail cards--but enhances enjoyment with some new features. Players can completely redesign the game board by importing their own images or using the included clip art. The 3-D graphics have never been this detailed--you can take game play down to street level and actually see your tokens dance around the board as they pass through the extravagant neighborhoods surrounding Park Place or the down-and-out areas along Mediterranean Avenue.

Earlier version better as it included board editor where you could create your own street names. Otherwise, still a very enjoyable game.
 Loaded Dice? May 11, 2006
Old movie fan
I'm not sure what's wrong with the dice generator on this game or how the odds are stacked. However, I bought this game to have a little fun with a computer opponent(one). Everyone knows that if you play again one opponent the game will go faster. So I like to just spend a short time(an hour or less playing). However I find that when I play against one computer opponent I will usually lose. For example the computer will usually get first roll and will usually get all properties of one color first. If you don't mind losing time and time again (you're a little masochistic) then this is fun. I have looked for updates or patches to this program but have never seen any that will balance the lopsided 'luck' that the computer usually has. I must say then that the computer has 'loaded dice.' Has anyone else had the same experience? Is this problem corrected in newer versions? I'll give it two stars for the ability to play online against a human opponent but the computer opponent's 'luck' knocks off 4 stars
Addition: The computer doesn't follow Monopoly rules as well. It is illegal to buy houses during another player's turn. Yet the computer buys houses without regard to the rules!
Wonderful rendition of the original board game August 26, 2004

The Monopoly software really enhances the game. It is full of creative animations and also allows you to play on many different boards based on different cities (I like this feature), and also allows you to design your own board and play on it. However, Mr. Monopoly's commentary becomes annoying after a while, especially his usually stupid comments about what number you rolled. (You can turn this off though.) Also, the board on the screen spontaneously rotates in full 3D. This gets me dizzy much of the time. So if you like Monopoly the board game and don't have motion sickness, you should play this.
 Like the game, but.. February 6, 2004

I happen to like playing Monopoly. But when you play this game against the computer opponents, you are in for a strange ride. The computer opponents will mortgage all their properties to fund a monopoly they may have just gotten. Then it would take forever for the computer player to buy houses and hotels.
The computer players hardly ever trade among themselves. After playing the game a few times, I got to where I knew how the computer would react.
I also found that I enjoyed playing the game a lot more when I turned off the token voices and Mr Monopoly's commentary.
Still, this game is a good way to knock off a couple of hours. The rules are pretty basic, and straightforward.
Overall, I would recommend getting this game, as long as you're not expecting too much.
Very fun but could be better January 15, 2004

I love this game. My only suggestion is that the houses and hotels should look like houses and hotels instead just like the game board tokens. The properties run the spectrum from landfill to high end real estate so it'd be more fun to see a realistic building(s)that corresponds to the property. Even better would be several building styles from which to choose.
