Rating: - Great to play this game with others
This is a great game to play with a friend or two or more. It's still fun to play it by yourself but it's definately better as a multiplayer game. This game is pretty addicting, so if you have alot of time to kill this is the perfect game for you. Hopefully there will be an upgraded version for this on the Playstation 3 but I highly recommend this game.

If you have other real people to play this game with, this is a fun way to play Monopoly because all of the time you normally waste digging for pieces or cards and counting money is done away with. However, playing the computer is no fun what so ever because it has been programmed to be such an abysmal player. It offers you cash for properties based only on their mortgage value. Thus it will buy a property for two hundred dollars one turn, and sell it to you the very next turn for $100- and this is only one example of how much of a dunce it is as an oponent. So if you were hoping that you could finally spend your nights playing Monopoly without having to invite a bunch of people over, I am sorry to say you will be sorely disapointed.
Rating: - No A.I. to be found
Well, the good points...
The game manages to include most of the Monopoly rules correctly, and allows some of the common home variants to be used as well. It may just be up to par for play against human opponents on a PSone with travel screen for rainy holidays.
But... the computer A.I. is atrocious. I am sure no one actually game-tested this product to see if it could play the game with any skill. Most seven year olds will beat this at the hardest level without difficulty. The A.I. contains no concept of the value of property, or property sets...
Rating: - This game is NOT complete!!
Why would they release a game that Isn't fully complete? Hasbro should have the decency to work on this game even more and the manufacturers should test this game out before it can be sold in stores! They left out the computer AI knowledge on betting the properties rather than just constantly trading opponents with small amounts of cash for yours; None of them have a different trading personality, The "Advance Token To The Nearest Utility" card is not included in the deck, and the purple properties are NOT highlighted when they get bought on the screen! It should be illegal to manufacture a game that isn't made completely! They should get there act together and either re-release this game so everything is complete or start releasing it on Playstation 2 with the entire game COMPLETELY MADE!!
Rating: - Game gets boring.
I loved the idea of being able to play it without all the set up and mess......but after playing it a few times it can get rather boring. If i would have rented this game first i probally would not have purchased it. I have not tryed playing it with more that 2 people... i could see where this would make it more fun.
