Summary: Network Play is ok but you can't save your games.
Review: Its typical monopoly. Graphics are good. Takes time (20 to 30 seconds) to load even on a fast pent 3, 450, 44x cdrom. The interface is moronic, even for kids. This is NOT MONOPOLY 2. There is no such thing.. just plain Monopoly. I think this software was written by some beginner programmer, because they do not tell you how to connect online and its confusing until you figure it out, but if you like monopoly this is what you're stuck with until they actually DO come out with a better version that has a more logical interface. Id say if you like monopoly is worth the 20 bucks.

Summary: Excellent game
Review: Monopoly, the classic American board game, is phenomenal in its incarnation as a computer game. The graphics, even 8 years after its release, are top notch. The ability to play over the internet is also a capability that makes this immortal game even more entertaining.If you love computer games or Monopoly as a board game, this piece of software is a must-have.

Summary: Monopoly 2
Review: One misses the smell of the 'real'money! I remember seeing a bit of the original version and quite liked the artists impression of the properties as you landed on them, missing in this version. There's alot of information on the screen, especially when trading or checking status and think I may need magnifying glasses. However, thoroughly enjoying games with the family that don't involve leaving a boardgame lying around the floor for days...can we simulate money smells please?

Summary: Mixed feelings
Review: Overall, we have enjoyed the game a great deal, but don't think it lives up to all the hype. The personalized board feature only applies to the board and not to the deeds, making it confusing. And the 3D graphics and sound effects slow the game, while the simpler graphics are not easy to see. For the money, it's a good deal and I've enjoyed it a lot but I would advise people not to expect more than a fun game.

Summary: Good game but requires a fast system
Review: The Monopoly PC game has a lot of features, such as trading, auctions, etc, but to see the board well you'll want to enable 3D mode. Unfortunatley, that really slows down the game, even on a fast system. Using Monopoly's online playing seems complex and I'm not sure if it even works anymore. This game is good for kids and adults alike, though, so a whole family could enjoy it. Also, when you play against a computer you can select how smart it is, which allows you to select a novice AI, moderately skilled AI, or expert AI. Overall, this is a pretty good game.

Summary: Wonderful rendition of the original board game
Review: 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.

Summary: One of the best games out there right now...
Review: This game is extremely addictive and excellent so I'll talk only of its faults. The graphics are decent but the words don't show up on the gameboard as crisp as I'd like to see; that could be just my PC though. There are some minor visual bugs that are annoying but don't affect gameplay much, such as "mortgaged" tabs not appearing on certain properties when appropriate, and the trading screen sometimes doesn't change when you tamper with it while the AI opponents enter another trade offer. The interface is excellent except for the fact that the AI opponents interrupt your activities sometimes with trades and house-building, which can be annoying since you can't do anything until the AI is done. The AI is not strong since it will let you buy a railroad & utilities monopoly; also the PC will fall for imbalanced trades such as the player getting a yellow/green set in exchange for say, an orange or light blue set. You should be able to win any number of computers every time with these clues. I went to the website and didn't see any patches or patch news, just some ads for other Hasbro products and some monopoly tournament news. There are only 6 very repetitive soundtracks, which is dissapointing, but the 10 city boards do add variation to each game. The voice acting and token animation are top notch. In conclusion, Monopoly 2 is definitely superior to the boardgame: there's rich multimedia to liven up the game, no hassle, no mess, no cheating, and you can play in a good chair with correct posture without having to move your arms around constantly. The game goes a lot faster without the need for actual players to handle money. This game is definitely the last good game to have come out in 1999 and is worth the $30.

Summary: Better than the first one!
Review: This is way better than the first one! 3-D and colorful. Mr. Monopoly's voice makes the game funner. Making your own board is easy and fun. Add pictures to your board. Use the 10 included city boards that make Monopoly better. Change the rules of the game like the number of houses, how much turns in jail, and what you get for passing GO and more! This is one of the best games I've ever bought!
