Good game but requires a fast system

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.

Wonderful rendition of the original board game

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.

Loaded Dice?

I'm not sure what's wrong with the dice generator on this game or how the odds are stacked. However, I bought this game to have a little fun with a computer opponent(one). Everyone knows that if you play again one opponent the game will go faster. So I like to just spend a short time(an hour or less playing). However I find that when I play against one computer opponent I will usually lose. For example the computer will usually get first roll and will usually get all properties of one color first. If you don't mind losing time and time again (you're a little masochistic) then this is fun. I have looked for updates or patches to this program but have never seen any that will balance the lopsided 'luck' that the computer usually has. I must say then that the computer has 'loaded dice.' Has anyone else had the same experience? Is this problem corrected in newer versions? I'll give it two stars for the ability to play online against a human opponent but the computer opponent's 'luck' knocks off 4 stars

User liked this game because "everything was there." I give it 4 out of 5 stars (instead of 5 stars) because it seemed not to be my age level (user is 16). The computer players are very good, I could only win at the most basic level. The graphics were a very good simulation of the board game.

The product is faulty and I have contacted Beach Audio and they told me to contact Hasbro which I did and they have done nothing about it either. I am very upset.

IN MONOPOLY YOU CAN LEARN WHAT THE REAL WORLD IS LIKE. I ESPECIALLY ENJOY THE SOUND EFFECTS AND THE ANIMATED CHARACTERS.

Very fun but could be better

I love this game. My only suggestion is that the houses and hotels should look like houses and hotels instead just like the game board tokens. The properties run the spectrum from landfill to high end real estate so it'd be more fun to see a realistic building(s)that corresponds to the property. Even better would be several building styles from which to choose.

OK at this price - not excellent

This game is OK at this price but it could have been made much better with a little more work. When computer proposes a trade, you can't see the details of the title deed cards involved in the trade - so keep guessing. Graphics is good but not excellent. At this price, it may be OK but I expected a much better work comparing to the other games of these days. Why doesn't somebody make a real good classic Monopoly game with attention to all details for many Monopoly fans out there!!!

A nice version of Monopoly

Finally I can play Monopoly whenever I want, becouse i don't need to look for friends to play. I can play with other players that are created by this program.

In spite of being an old program, (it was created to runs with 3.1 and 95 versions of Windows) it works quite well with the lastest versions of Windows. It gives the player all the possibilities that has the real game. You can play with players created by the game, with many players in the same computer, in other computers by a LAN or by Internet.

I only found two problems: the program don't keep the settings. When you close the program, it returns to the predeterminated settings; and when you loose a game, the other players created by the program continue playing, and there is not a way to stop the game.
