    A rich, frantic, fascinating strategy game that makes Monopoly comparisons feel inadequate.

    An interesting little title that certainly won't appeal to everyone, but will please fans of traditional board games. It adds enough changes to the standard Monopoly formula to make it feel unique and the Easy Rules option means family members of all ages can get involved. An interesting addition to the Wii library.

    Boom Street is a pleasant and surprisingly enjoyable board game for those who have the time and patience to actually be able to sit through a few games.

    A great game for the holidays in my opinion. Although it can be slow at times and the maps can frustrate many players you can change the settings to allow faster game play and there are basic maps that everyone can understand and enjoy. If you love monopoly this IS the game for you and your friends. Its a much balanced version where even if a player gets half the properties in the game you can still win by playing the stocks. There is a substantial amount of luck in this game but what board game doesn't have a little luck? Overall this is a fantastic game that the entire family will enjoy.… Expand

    At first Fortune Street looks like a fun virtual Nintendo edition of Monopoly, but then, you find out that Fortune Street is an extremely challenging game in disguise.… Expand

    A fun monopoly style game where you buy property and can also buy stocks in certain areas which yield dividends. This game is better if you have 4 people to play with, otherwise you spend much of your time watching the computer play. There is a speed up feature that makes this better, but still takes a while to play. If you play alone be prepared to get your A$$ kicked by the computer 100% of the time. My wife and I have played eleven times and came in a distant third and fourth every single time. I have played a lone six times and came in a distant fourth six times, so if you hate losing you will need to play with other people. The many different levels and boards keeps this game interesting as each one offers new challenges and strategic advantages. Overall an addictive game that is great with a few friends, but takes no prisoners when played alone.… Expand
