 - A great classic brought into modern mediumThis is just as great as the board game I grew up with!! I would HIGHLY recommend this to any Monopoly fan.....especially since the computer provides the other players if you are the only one interested in tycooning at the moment. Excellent graphics, great options to modify the classic rules, etc. I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase!! Rating: - Queen of The BlockI love this game - I played with the Computer Opponents andthen my family members and it was a blast !! haven't stopped playing since I got it -very enjoyable...can't wait to get the other games I ordered. Rating:  - Great Classic GameThis game is as good as the board game monopoly. Can't find anyone to play the board game with you? If not, then this is the game for you. It has three levels of difficulty, so it can challenge any level of skill. Great for kids and adults! This is a great buy! Rating: - Lovely for LaptopsYou don't need the CD in the drive to play -- that makes it perfect for my intended usage, killing time on a laptop during business flights. I can go one better than simply conserving power by not accessing the CD -- I can replace the CD drive altogether and swap in a second battery on long flights. I didn't expect that perk when I put this on my wish list, but that alone makes it a great choice for travelers. The interface is much improved -- you can see who owns what with tabs on the inside edge of the board, and they're colored if the property is mortgaged. Unlike the old Westwood versions, the animations aren't overly long and don't slow down play much at all. (You can turn off viewing computer players' turns altogether to make it even faster.) And the house rules options are plentiful and easy to adjust -- great if you like playing Monopoly "your way." I didn't even notice this edition has no online play, but as an airplane player, that totally didn't matter to me. I was looking for a great single-player game of Monopoly and I found it! Rating: - Monopoly 2008PROS: This version of Monopoly is fun and has a great interface. The pieces move around the board for you and have neat 3-D animations (the ship fires its guns, the shoe walks, the top-hat has a rabbit that pops out). There is even a paddy wagon that hauls your token off to jail. You can also customize the game so that you earn cash for landing on Free Parking, make x2 the amount for landing on GO, and choose whether or not to automatically deal all the properties at the beginning of the game. CONS: While this version is "multiplayer," you CANNOT play online, which was available in previous versions of Monopoly. This was a big disappointment.
