STREETZ!  Always go for the top hat.  That's the correct play.
 
Also, the whistling reminds me of BioShock.

ONCE - NEVER AGAIN. It was the most dreadfully boring thing ever, especially since at the end it came down to two people, and neither of us were willing to trade properties or mortgage anything - it dissolved into a stalemate, that was only ended by a horrible amount of bad luck on my part, in which I landed on the Mayfair hotel twice in quick succession thanks to doubles.
 
Even professional tournament Monopoly play (there is a monopoly tournament!), they have a time limit and whoever is richest at the end of that limit is the winner.

I dunno, the new interface seems fine to me, but Alex is totally right when he says that this doesn't seem to add a darn thing to the Monopoly experience, and thus I'm not really interested. RISK Factions was a much better game, and that was cheap and downloadable!

That just happens because they have the game audio from the recording and the game audio that gets picked up on their mics.

I don't know what Ryan's problem is. I find the interface fine, especially when the animations are skipped.

@DBoy: Yeah, I think so too.  They included the original and the new style of the boards, so its a very functional game.  It's not that bad.  The only bad thing about this game is the price.  $40 bucks is a lot of money for Monopoly. I would definitely get it for like $20 - $25.

I do like that they allow you to customize the rules, since when I found out the way I grew up playing was not the "official" way it was mind-blowing at the time.  Free Parking with the kitty in the middle is the shit, bidding on property is lame.
 
I am surprised nobody has made Pimpopoly yet.  Patent pending.
 
and when did Baltic and Mediterranean become brown instead of purple?
 
Ska-nopoly.
 
I bought Star Wars Monopoly for the PC years ago, I played it once.

What the hell... why are people in this thread going crazy defending a Monopoly game.  Ryan and Alex said what they don't like about it, and they gave everyone a good look at the visuals and the features, so make your own damn decisions.
 
I prefer to watch people be honest about this stuff than to go to a site where everyone is being a cheerleader about all games.  Fake enthusiasm on camera makes people die on the inside.

That looks fun. Though I always wished they would make downloadable video versions of the specialized Monopoly sets. I would really like to see the Nintendo Monopoly boards as a game.
