We all know and love the game of Monopoly, a classic that has been around for ages and has many variations, but how does this PS3 version of it hold up? As you play the game more you can unlock different types of boards to play, but I recommend starting with the classic until you get the hang of it. You also don't need multiple controllers to play with several people, you can just pass the 1 controller around which is good as the ps3 controllers are not cheap to buy!

Once you have set your game up with your chose number of players (human and/or computer controlled), you choose your playing piece, decide on house rules (you know, like double money for landing on go etc), and if you want to be dealt any properties to start with and then you're off. It has cool little animations and plays fairly quickly, but takes a bit of getting used to how you trade with other players and do auctions. The bidding on a property can be fast and furious though when you get going, and there are also mini games you get to play too, which adds a nice twist to this classic game.

You sometimes do have to stop to take a look back at the board to see who owns what, as not quite as easy to do as with the normal board game layed out it front of you, but easy to pick up and get used to, and makes the game quicker to play and more fun on the ps3, plus you don't have to pack all the pieces away and count all the money!
