MONOPLY FOR THE BORED

This game offers few of the basic fun things about playing monoply.
Although there is a "CUSTOM GAME", you cannot alter the time limit.
There is a "TIME LIMIT GAME" but you change the time from 1-24 hours but nothing else.

However, this game is fine for those places such as the doctor's office.
And there is another weird thing about this game. No winner is declared.
It simply says "GAME OVER"

Gameplay/Dice Rolling Is Too Slow

I read all the reviews on Amazon and decided to get the game anyway because it was cheap. Overall, the slowness of the gameplay makes the game unplayable. Every time you roll the dice the screen animates to follow the dice rolling, moves back to your gamepiece, and then follows it as it moves to each spot (10-12 seconds). Playing the game in person or on other systems (Gameboy, PC), dice rolling takes around 5 seconds. That sounds pretty picky to break it down by the second but just imagine a normal game of Monopoly taking twice as long because of dice rolling. That's what you get with this game.

If anyone disagrees, please post a review about how you enjoy watching dice roll and pieces moving for 45 minutes of a 90 minute game. (No, you cannot turn off the animation.)

Fun game to play on your own

Great price for a classic game. Easy to use/learn. You won't find some amazing graphics on it that you would expect from some games contemporary but you don't need them since this is a board game. It gaves you a cool break when playing some other more addivtive games that take more time to finish.

Too confusing to finish one game

I have tried for HOURS to completely finish 1 SINGLE GAME. I have tried to trade more than once, and NOTHING HAPPENS. After trying to trade, i get frusterated, and don't feel like playing anymore. If I didn't have to deal with that, this game would be easier.

TERRIBLE

This is hands down the WORST port of monopoly I have ever encountered.

monopoly is rarely a game enjoyed by small children, so why not give us more options?!

I don't need stupid animations for movement, the game is SOOO SLOWW.. I'd like to finish TODAY! and to add insult to that, there is NO SAVE FEATURE.

Wasted effort, waste of money.

Do not buy this product.

a good monopoly game

this is the worst version of monopoly since the commodore 64 versions. first off no save feature. i guess the guys who programmed this one never play monopoly in their life. second a few times i would be playing this and the game suddenly locks up!!!!!!! so here i have a lot of properties and ready to making some bucks and suddenly on my turn i land on GO and then the game freezes!!! hasn't anyone else had this happen?. well any ways there are a lot better versions out there. even the old gameboy version is much better. take my advice don't buy this one. wait for a new version for the gameboy advance.

A fun game, no matter what

I have none of the complaints with this game that were in the other reviews. I agree that some options like saving a game or auctioning a bankrupt player's properties would be nice, but they don't get in the way of game play for me. I do enjoy the ability to set as many options as I want, or to play with a variable time limit; no matter how much (or little) time I have to spare, this game is a LOT of fun to play. Seriously. Yes, this game isn't as glossy as many of the games out there, but it still is as fun as a Monopoly game ever was. If you don't care about fancy graphics but want a straightforward game, I recommend this one.

A bigger problem than the "no save" option is...

... When an opponent goes bankrupt, they simply quit the game and don't pay any of their debt to the player that bankrupted them. You get a message that the player simply "resigns" from the game. When this happens all of their property reverts back to being available for sale, all of their cash disappears and the player who bankrupted them gets NOTHING! And, just to clarify, all of the CPU players resign from the game in this manner without paying any of their debt, not just the last one left in the game.

This bug means that you can spend most of your money building hotels and knock out 2 of the 3 CPU players without getting a single dollar back, only to then lose to the last player due to a relatively small rent owed. Considering the whole point of Monopoly, this is an unforgivable bug that completely ruins the game.
