Mar 8, 201260Interesting and quite complex desk game suffers from tediousness and not-so-attractive visuals. Boom Street is actually a kind of Monopoly game with more complicated rules. [Feb 2012]
-
Feb 14, 201260A game that combines Monopoly, Hotel (the board game) and characters from Nintendo and Square in a unique and obscure way. Although not bad, it can only be recommended to a specific and small audience.
-
Jan 28, 201260Boom Street is surely peculiar, with its strict but entertaining gameplay. It has some faults, the major being quite anonymous, but still it can be enjoyable, assuming you have three friends hanging at your pad.
-
Jan 10, 201260Boom Street's left, then, to capitalise only on the love and appreciation we all feel towards our global banking overlords.
-
Jan 3, 201260Mario turns property tycoon in a relatively successful alternative to Monopoly, but a very disappointing crossover.
-
Dec 7, 201160Fortune Street is a decent strategy board game, but the slow pace siphons away much of the fun.
-
Jan 23, 201257Despite plenty of colour and 'cheeky' dialogue it's as uplifting as a Wilfred Owen poem. It also lacks the personal touch that a physical board game provides. [Jan 2012, p.104]
-
Feb 2, 201250A monopoly style boardgame that does very little to make use of the interactive possibilites of the medium. The presentation is somewhat uninspired and although the basic formula is entertaining, the game never takes it to the next level.
-
Jan 31, 201250Boom Street plays like a digital version of Monopoly, starring Mario and his friends as well as Dragon Quest characters. But there is not much interaction in the game and you'd expect more from a full price retail game.
-
Jan 16, 201250Boom Street would have worked well as a board game, but as a videogame it does never seem to find its place.
-
Dec 5, 201150Fortune Street is a good board game in terms of premise but as a videogame, it suffers in many areas that we would expect would be enhanced by being a virtual experience.
-
Dec 2, 201150The game-breakingly slow pace of a game that isn't that exciting to start with took its toll. Fortune Street has no respect for players' time, turning what should be a breezy pastime into a languid, dull experience.
