Advantages: A very good game and the computer won't complain when you beat it

Disadvantages: The computer plays mean

Yes I do like Star Wars and Yes I have the Star Wars Monopoly board game and yes I was drawn to this version of computer Monopoly because it was Star Wars. I keep on telling myself that the main reason I bought it was because it was cheap and included a rather nice Pewter figure of Anakin Skywalker, not because I am a Star Wars addict. Well enough of my problems, so how does the game play? It is very much like the Star Wars version of the board game, but on steroids.
You have 3D animated characters, dice roles via Tie-fighters or X-wings shooting up the dice, video snippets from the films and a commentary on what is happening by C-3PO (Anthony Daniels). Of course you don’t have to have any of that and of course it makes the game much quicker. You can also play to the official rules or modify it to how you play at home which is an added bonus. The computer players range from stupid to downright mean and I you like a challenge this will provide it. It is visually a very nice game and runs fast once you have switched off most, if not all, of the bells and whistles. Highly recommended.
