Searching for new thrills in your pursuit of pure capitalist success? If you can limit at least some of your ambitions to a board game, you're in luck. Monopoly is here, and with integrated Internet connectivity, you can now challenge other Monopolists worldwide.
The classic game--updated for the PC--still gives you all the satisfaction of being the proprietor of Park Place and Boardwalk. It also lets you weasel your way out of jail with a thin excuse for a card in your (virtual) hands. Keeping to the visual appeal of its 1930s characters, the software also boasts animated versions of favorite board pieces.
While Monopoly is obviously a strong choice for a family of players, don't kid yourself that you'll beat the game every time in solo play. If you're not paying close attention, the package's superior A.I. engine is likely to see that you'll wind up broke. This is a rare success story of a classic game that makes the jump to a new medium. The creators of Monopoly deserve a firm handshake and slap on the back, and a big roll of funny paper money. --Jennifer Buckendorff

Hasbro Interactive has managed to make an old-time favorite even better. This version of Monopoly includes the features we have loved for years--Boardwalk, Community Chest, Go Directly to Jail cards--but enhances enjoyment with some new features. Players can completely redesign the game board by importing their own images or using the included clip art. The 3-D graphics have never been this detailed--you can take game play down to street level and actually see your tokens dance around the board as they pass through the extravagant neighborhoods surrounding Park Place or the down-and-out areas along Mediterranean Avenue.

Monopoly (Jewel Case) Reviews
| 28 of 32 people found the following review helpful  This very old title is unsupported, By A Customer This review is from: Monopoly (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM) This version of Monopoly is really nice, in that they put lots of spit and polish into it. Very nice animations, video cutscenes, etc. And all the 'extras' can be individually turned off too, which is good because after 15 minutes of them repeating, it becomes tiresome. But it's a well done game.Unfortunately, THIS GAME IS WRITTEN FOR WINDOWS >> 3.1 <<! It's VERY old software based on the ancient WinG graphics library for Win3.1. As such, it won't run on Win2K, and was shaky on 98, Which would be fine if there was an update, but aren't any. So it's unplayable now (wont run on Win2000.) A shame. For it's day, this was a really sharp title. 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful  A Biased But Fair Review, By Jeffrey Rosales (Willagee, Western Australia Australia) - See all my reviews This review is from: Monopoly (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM) Being a Monopoly fan myself did not help me in my quest for an unbiased review of this king of games! (Notice the bias already?).And it is one of those things, I suppose: you either like Monopoly, or you don't. I do, and I think the PC version of this old timer has been a complete success! First, one of the problems that any monopoly player normally has is that not many people are always willing to play with him/her at the drop of a hat. Well, this Monopoly gives you the choice of playing against AI players, or against other human peers around the world... almost at anytime! Remember, there must be someone connected to the net, at any one time, playing monopoly somewhere in the world! Second, the game allows you to play its normal rules, and now you can vary them to suit your wants and needs. That is a big plus, as previous primitive versions would force you to play only one set of rules. I believe this Monopoly deserves a second star for that only feature. Third, playing...

The game I bought had a Monopoly watch included, too. It's worth the money, but there are a few flaws. You can customize the board, but if you save the game to play another time, the board reverts to the "Classic" board (with Baltic, Oriental, etc). The street names are mixed up on a few of the City boards; the two most expensive properties on the board will be (for example) "A" and "B" on the board, but the title deeds will be "B" and "A". Also, with the City boards, the Chance cards don't change. For example on the Washington D.C. board, the card "Advance token to Boardwalk" doesn't change to "Advance token to the Capitol." When you land on the Chance square on the fourth side of the board and draw the Go Back 3 Spaces card and move back to Community Chest, a Community Chest card isn't drawn. The token's comments are repetitive... Read more |
