VideoGamer

EA has managed to produce a competent virtual version of the classic board game, but we still can't recommend it over buying the real thing. You get numerous boards and the questionable Get Rich Quick mode, but you lose so much by not being able to play the way you want.

For what it's worth, those dice animations really are the best we've ever seen. [Christmas 2008, p.119]

PSX Extreme

Monopoly is Monopoly. Can’t make it much plainer than that.

DarkZero

The game is not criminally poor, and nowhere near as painful as having red hot needles shoved into your eyes, but at times you get an insidious feeling that those involved put as little effort as possible into delivering the final product.

Ken S. gave it a9:
Very Addictive Gameplay. The turns are quick, the graphics are great, and unlocking additional game boards is fun. My family and I have been playing this game since it's release. NON-STOP! A truly unexpected jewel of a game. And I'm the one person in my household who didn't really care for Monopoly. (The board game). Excellent game.

Austin D. gave it a9:
Very good game. stays true to monopoly there are a few different editions and some boards to choose from. online is smooth. it stays true to monopoly and is everything you expect from a monopoly videogame. Also the game is at a fair price 39.99 and probabley will drop just before christmas.

Kate gave it a1:
This game is so basic AND BORING! It really has no special features except for a few little games you could find on your PC for free. For the money it is NOT worth it. You have more fun playing it in real life!
