A Great Game For Those Who Loved The Original

What board game could be more American classic than monopoly? And MONOPOLY 3 brings it to your pc! No more playing alone as 3 different players for days and days (yes...I did this as a child, before the age of technology). There are cute graphics and animations, nice sound effects and voices (albeit a bit repetitious after hours of play), options galore that allow you to play with all sorts of different rules and with the Monopoly city versions of 10 cities (where the street names are names of places in that city etc). Basically if you loved Monopoly you will find this a good replacement to whining on your friends to play with you. But it does only seem to appeal to lovers of the game. Not to mention that there are issues with the game "cheating", and doesn't allow for different levels of difficulty. I believe the patch sorts some of these issues out, and they are eliminated completely when you play over the net. That's the real fun - playing with other Monopoly fanatics ;).
Despite a lot of bad reviews on Amazon, I find myself enjoying Monopoly immensely from time to time when I get that sudden board game urge. But if you have never thought once in the past year "oh I'd like to play monopoly", I wouldn't recommend purchasing it.

Great Implementation

This version of Monopoly is faithful to the original board game in every respect. Plus, they have allowed the option to modify rule parameters for variations on the game play. For example, some popular 'house' rules are available, if you are accustomed to playing with them. This game plays very well, and it's nice to have mundane tasks like the handling of money automated for you. Other nice features include the options of using other locations for the board layout, multiplayer games for internet or network play, and the ability to save a game and come back to it later. Minor drawbacks are that the CD is required to be in the drive to play the game, and the player piece character comments get old quickly. I usually play with the sound off. But I highly recommend this version for anyone who love the game of Monopoly, and wishes to increase your skill at playing the game. It is highly faithful to the original board game.

Great Game!!!!

Awful Remake of The Original Monopoly

This game has several design flaws. For one, the computer constantly plays out of turn. This can be annoying when trying to make buying decisions. Secondly, the "voices" in the game quickly become old. You have the option of turning both this and the music off, which you may as well do, because both are of low quality. The music is that of redundant piano music; in other words, annoying. Additionally, the difficulty options that allow for easy to hard playing do not differ; I found no difference in difficulty when I chose easy or hard.

Also, please be aware that this game was not written by the true "Atari". Infogrames have changed their name to Atari to sound better, but it is still the same old French company that make bad games like this.

Nice

Monopoly is always a good game to play. But I wish the software was faster during the game. The waiting time between actions can be boring

Be ready for a long game...

What you see is what you get. You are playing Monopoly. Nothing really too fancy, but there are character animations and other such things (which I like to turn off, because I find them to be a little corny). My only complaint is that this game takes a long time. But, hey, thats how Monopoly is.

Totally awesome dude

This game is totaly cool. It is based on the original Monopoly but it is like for computers. It has boards for most of the major north american cities. The tokens like they talk man. It is really cool. You can also adjust the rules such as the amount paid for passing GO and the level of income tax. Each city has totally cool pictures of the properties man . Like I said this game is way cool.

Ok game

This game is filler when there's no reason to go outside. The only pro vs. playing the real game is the ability to save for thoes long games you'd like to come back to later. Also the computer keeping tabs on player's money is nice but nothing a calculator and piece of paper can't handle.
