Monopoly 2008 is not a game.It's a prank.This game is absolutely broken.The main idea is of playing Monopoly.But this game fails.I always considered Monopoly to be a great game at a party or something,but this game ruins my whole vision of Monopoly.It makes you hate the game.If you somehow play this videogame before playing the original board game you will always hate this game and probably woll never play it ever again.The main problem of the game is the game itself.There are so many things wrong about this game that I don't even know where to start from.For instance the music in the game is bad,truly awful.The feeling of a Monopoly game is inexistent.The game can support up to 4 players.Even offline.But how could this work?You an another three friends meet up to play monopoly.You each sit in front of the PC and click about twice during about 1 minute.That means that if you play for an hour you will click 120 times.That's great,NOT!The game is very poorly done.The graphics are bad,except for the board everything else looks bad.There is no feel to this game,you don't feel the pleasure of playing that you usually feel when playing the board game with your friends.But let's just say that you have no friends,and have no one to play with.You still can't play this game.It is so boring.Everyone knows that this game is a game for more people than one.And the idea of playing it with an AI doesn't work at all.An other problem of the game is that it is unfair.You start the game.The AI controlled player always starts and even if he doesn't throw a double he still throws the dice twice.I have no idea why.Then the AI always has more points at the dice than you.Always.For instance when he starts the game he buys two properties on the first lane of the board.When you first throw the dice you will always fall on one of his properties and pay him rent.The AI always falls on the best estates and always gets better cards at Chance. Overall I would say that this game is horrible and shouldn't be bought by anyone.Even the hardcore Monopoly fans will be dissapointed by this game and won't see the pleasure of it.
Just purchased a download for Monopoly by Parker Brothers on MSN Games for $9.95. My first two games played on the highest difficulty level, Tycoon, with two/three other computer controlled players abruptly ended afte... Read Full Review
If you have friends that love monopoly as much as my buddies and I, then this is definitely a worthy investment. Setting up a game is easy and the layout is simple and easy to use. This makes offline multiplayer great ... Read Full Review
