I bought the updated version of Monopoly about a month ago and I've been impressed with the new features that the sofeware comes with. Not only can you choose different cities, but you can add your own photos, rename the different properties, and add or subtract how much you get each time you pass go. I highly recommend this game. It is worth the money that you will spend to get it.

Is the new version of Monopoly worth it? In a word, Yes! Though I do miss the animations that were in the original Monopoly, this version not only has the new player pieces, but comes with 10 different city boards and allows you to make your own as well! The interface is user friendly and I would recommend this to any board game fan.

IF YOU THOUGHT THE FIRST MONOPOLY WAS GOOD, WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE THIS! I WAS AMAZED BY THE GRAPHICS AND ANIMATION THAT WAS PUT INTO THIS GAME. NOT ONLY CAN YOU PLAY THE CLASSIC GAME, BUT THE 10 CITY VERSIONS ARE ALSO INCLUDED. BELIEVE ME, IT IS WORTH THE MONEY YOU PAY FOR IT. CREATING YOUR OWN PROPERTIES IS ALSO ONE OF THE MANY GREAT FEATURES THIS GAME ALSO HAS.

One misses the smell of the 'real'money! I remember seeing a bit of the original version and quite liked the artists impression of the properties as you landed on them, missing in this version. There's alot of information on the screen, especially when trading or checking status and think I may need magnifying glasses. However, thoroughly enjoying games with the family that don't involve leaving a boardgame lying around the floor for days...can we simulate money smells please?

One of the best games out there right now...

This game is extremely addictive and excellent so I'll talk only of its faults. The graphics are decent but the words don't show up on the gameboard as crisp as I'd like to see; that could be just my PC though. There are some minor visual bugs that are annoying but don't affect gameplay much, such as "mortgaged" tabs not appearing on certain properties when appropriate, and the trading screen sometimes doesn't change when you tamper with it while the AI opponents enter another trade offer. The interface is excellent except for the fact that the AI opponents interrupt your activities sometimes with trades and house-building, which can be annoying since you can't do anything until the AI is done. The AI is not strong since it will let you buy a railroad & utilities monopoly; also the PC will fall for imbalanced trades such as the player getting a yellow/green set in exchange for say, an orange or light blue set. You should be able to win any number of computers every time with these clues. I went to the website and didn't see any patches or patch news, just some ads for other Hasbro products and some monopoly tournament news. There are only 6 very repetitive soundtracks, which is dissapointing, but the 10 city boards do add variation to each game. The voice acting and token animation are top notch.

In conclusion, Monopoly 2 is definitely superior to the boardgame: there's rich multimedia to liven up the game, no hassle, no mess, no cheating, and you can play in a good chair with correct posture without having to move your arms around constantly. The game goes a lot faster without the need for actual players to handle money. This game is definitely the last good game to have come out in 1999 and is worth the $30.

Better than the first one!

This is way better than the first one! 3-D and colorful. Mr. Monopoly's voice makes the game funner.

Making your own board is easy and fun. Add pictures to your board.

Use the 10 included city boards that make Monopoly better.

Change the rules of the game like the number of houses, how much turns in jail, and what you get for passing GO and more!

This is one of the best games I've ever bought!

Network Play is ok but you can't save your games.

Its typical monopoly. Graphics are good. Takes time (20 to 30 seconds) to load even on a fast pent 3, 450, 44x cdrom. The interface is moronic, even for kids. This is NOT MONOPOLY 2. There is no such thing.. just plain Monopoly. I think this software was written by some beginner programmer, because they do not tell you how to connect online and its confusing until you figure it out, but if you like monopoly this is what you're stuck with until they actually DO come out with a better version that has a more logical interface. Id say if you like monopoly is worth the 20 bucks.

Mixed feelings

Overall, we have enjoyed the game a great deal, but don't think it lives up to all the hype. The personalized board feature only applies to the board and not to the deeds, making it confusing. And the 3D graphics and sound effects slow the game, while the simpler graphics are not easy to see. For the money, it's a good deal and I've enjoyed it a lot but I would advise people not to expect more than a fun game.

Bring along your Vivarin and your reading glasses!

I guess I should not have expected the computer version of Monopoly to be any more exciting than the board game. It is, after all, Monopoly! But at least in the board game, you are moving more muscles than your index finger! I played this game at a relative's house, and I am very glad I did so. I now know not to buy it. Not only is it very slow, but also it is very hard to see. I needed a magnifying glass to view some of the graphics. I do suggest this game for chronic insomniacs--within thirty minutes, you will be out like a light!!!

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.
