Disadvantages: not as good as the board game

Monopoly the fantastic board game has been brought to the PC.

[ [ OBJECT OF THE GAME ] ]

You must travel around the board purchasing properties as you go. Each property is part of a set and each set has its own colour. The aim of the game is to bankrupt the rest of the players in the game.

[ [ WHAT YOU DO ] ]

You can purchase properties at a price. If any other player lands on these properties then they must pay you a fine. If you have a set of properties you can build houses and hotels on those properties. This allows you to receive more money when another player lands on them.

Monopoly is such a thrilling game right from the off. With the ability to trade with other players to make sets in your own collection and hazards such as chance and community chest (these either give you money, take it or move you round the board) there is a lot of strategy going into your play as well as a little luck.

The PC game features 3D sequences that move your playing piece around the board in a 3D Monopoly. The effects are simple but effective. You can of course disable the 3D effects to speed up the game.

All in all I prefer the board game but at least there is no setting up and clearing away to do if you play on your PC.

Summary: every family should own a monopoly
