Fun version of Monopoly for the PC September 5, 2009
CJ - MO (Missouri, USA)
I think this is a fun game that hold true to the board game. You can play against one to three opponents. Those opponents can be "human" or computer player(s), or a combination of both. The computer player(s) can be set to one of three different skill levels. I have enjoyed the game the most when I have played against one other person or computer opponent.
The game moves much more quickly than the board game and you can select from different options that make the game go by even faster, including dealing out part or all of the properties at the beginning. It allows you to set house rules for each game, such as receiving $500 for landing on Free Parking.
One drawback is that you have to set the house rules over again after each game; the game doesn't allow you to save your favorite settings. Trades do seem to work a little strangely. The computer seems to look only at the face value of the properties, and not whether or not the property will give you a Monopoly.
Overall I think the good parts of the game outweigh the bad, and I would recommend this as a great game for the whole family.

 Encore support sucks! August 3, 2009
Peter J. Dodig (New Port Richey FL USA)
Although the game plays fairly well, with little or no freeze ups, getting support from the software company sucks big time. Don't waste your time trying. A simple question like "Can saved games be deleleted?, will get you a page and a half reply of why they can't answer YES or NO. By the way, you can delete saved games, however, it is a bit involved and you can't from the game software.

It allows only four players. It is not as challenging as previous Monopoly games.
Decent Monopoly Software Game June 21, 2009

Game is very faithful to board game. Has many options for different
rules and adding multiple players. Could add rule to deny players in
jail rent. Also, probably should make auction bidding option, not default. Otherwise, very entertaining.
