Monopoly fun, and no small pieces to lose!

This game combines the best aspects of party games like Sonic Shuffle and South Park: Chef's Luv Shack with the most appealing features of quickie tie-in games like You Don't Know Jack and Who Wants to be a Millionaire. What's more, it's very true to the source material.
Players can choose between the hat, boot, Scottie dog and the rest of their favorite Monopoly pieces. Monopoly Party makes for a great family game night, although Grandma couldn't find the Z button on the Gamecube controller. My son William, however, got to see his father bankrupted and sent to jail. He really got a kick out of it, and, as it turns out, we proved my ex-wife was right.

The Best Version of Monopoly yet

If you think of large, money-hungry corporations (such as Microsoft, Time Warner, etc.) when you hear the word "monopoly", this isn't for you.

However, if you think of neon colored money, Boardwalk, passing Go, etc. then don't delay in picking up this game.

Here are some important catagories:

Faithful to the original: 10/10
There are many options as to how you can play, such as "landing on free parking jackpot", landing on "Go" double money, etc., or you can play with the standard rules. There is Classic Mode or Party Mode, where every person rolls at the same time (which eliminates down time). They thought of everthing this time around!

Computer AI: 7/10
Challanging enough to play by yourself. There are three levels of AI (Easy, Medium, Hard), but the only difference is how hard trading will be with them. Even on hard difficulty the computer will sometimes make some strange decisions, especially where trading is concerned.

On a more serious note, THIS GAME FREEZES UP ON THE GAMECUBE VERSION, approximately 4-5% of all games, in which you must restart the Gamecube. This hasn't been the first GC game I've bought with this problem. A VERY unfortunate flaw which keeps me from giving this game 5 stars. Buyer Beware is all I'm trying to say. I still reccomend the purchase for twenty (or less) dollars.

Overall, very good. Give it a shot.

I got so addicted to this game while I went on vacation. My relatives had to work and playing this game is what I did all day until they got home. It is so much fun. I am going to buy it as soon as I can. I liked how you could choose different themes. I just wish there was more.

Great Game

I'm a big monopoly fan. This is a great game!

This game is well worth the money. Its easy to learn how to play. The Monopoly board games usually last hours because you have to hand out money and spend time doing transactions and moves, but when you buy this game transactions are automatically done and the games usually last under an hour. There are also many kinds of monopoly board themes to choose from for those who like themed sets and different properties.

There isn't a thing I wish that could be better.

I'm really happy with the money I spent... This is a great game!

Highly Addictive

I bought it the same day it came out. In fact I went to the store all the time and got upset when it was not in. I bought the one for 64 and that was the best game ever. That is why I thought; this one must be awsome but I was wrong. I should have just second thought about maybe it is not in for a reason and not buy it. I am still trying to sell it; 6 months later. If I could I give it -million stars.

Who would pay???
