A rich, frantic, fascinating strategy game that makes Monopoly comparisons feel inadequate.
Boom Street is not a Mario Party rip-off. Instead of minigames you play a different version of Monopoly. With that surprise out of the way, this boardgame with Nintendo's mascots is a fun experience for the whole family.
Boom Street is the first chapter of the long-running Itadaki series coming on western shores. If you like Monopoly-style games, this is the stuff you were waiting for.
A handful of minor niggles, like the inability to pause outside the start of your own turn, and the rather cautious approach of CPU competitors, detract little from an uncommonly smart and genuinely tactical game. It might have fared even better without its primary-coloured fripperies but Boom Street remains good enough to turn a blind eye to its rather untimely celebration of capitalism.
Monopoly is a great game, and Fortune Street does nothing to improve it, or to add something that only a videogame can do. There is an online mode, but sadly it's hard to find other players. A great board game, but just a decent videogame.
Mario turns property tycoon in a relatively successful alternative to Monopoly, but a very disappointing crossover.
The 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.
Summary (Known as "Boom Street" in the UK/EU) Fortune Street lets players become familiar characters from the Nintendo and DRAGON QUEST universes in a board game that challenges them to play the real estate and stock markets wisely to win.
