 Best console Monopoly video game so far BUT there are problems Nov 26, 2010
By John
If EA fixes the Issues / Problems / Bugs in this game, then I'll give this game 5 stars. Until then...
UPDATE #2: EA has released another DLC item, a 3D "CITY" board called Stratosphere City for 560 MS Points. It's a futuristic city with hover cars. It has custom names for the properties and cards, unlike the prevoius DLC Championship board. Please Note: this is a "CITY" board so it has the buildings that are constructed as your build houses and hotels, etc etc...
UPDATE #1: EA just released some DLC for this game. The board is 240 MS Points and the tokens are 80 MS Points each.
Championship Board (Las Vegas 2009 Monopoly Championship theme). This board uses an official Monopoly game board since it's a recreation of the 2009 Monopoly tournament championship. There are NO custom names for the properties, community chest or chance cards.
Horse and Rider (Male Jockey) token
Cannon (Army Guy) token
Rocking Horse (Female Equestrian) token
PLEASE NOTE: This DLC is NOT DRM's locked so it can be shared amongst other gamer profiles (gamertags) on the same or different Xbox 360 consoles.
Please Note: This review pertains to the Xbox 360 version of the game. Not all features / issues may be present across all platforms.
Finally, a video game console version of Monopoly that has an Online Multiplayer component.
I previously purchased Monopoly Party back when it was originally released on the original Xbox console and the more recent Monopoly video game for the Xbox 360 which was released just a couple of years ago. Both were good games, but they lacked an Xbox Live Multiplayer option so you were stuck play locally with friends/family and/or against the BOTs.
The two included 3D "city" boards for Monopoly Streets are great and add something new to the Monopoly franchise. The rest of the boards are 3D but don't have the "city" buidlings aspect. The surrounding envirnments are fun as are the custom names for all the properties. For the "city" boards, as you buy properties and build houses and hotels your property comes alives with 3D scenery, houses and hotels. Every player also has a skyscraper which represents their total worth and the height of the skyscraper increases/descreases during gameplay. You only get two of these "city" boards one of which has to be purchased. Apparently, there is another featured in a gameplay trailer and will be probably be available as DLC as EA has stated this game will feature DLC for characters (tokens) and boards.
All tokens and boards are compatible with every rule set and gametype options so you can mix things up and even use your own Xbox 360 Avatar as a playable character for use with any of the tokens. For Xbox 360 Avatar; props, pets, hats and costumes will NOT show up in game. Avatar shirts, pants, shoes, glasses, watches, and rings will show up on your character in game.
Provided Rule Sets: Official MONOPOLY, Speed Die, Short Game, Bull Market, Jackpot, Fast Deal, Custom. All rule sets can be edited to create your own gametype with a variety of options to choose from to make your own House rules. You can also ssave a custom rule set for use in the future.
Xbox Live Gametypes: Quick Match, Create Custom Match, Join Custom Match, Create Ranked Match, Join Ranked Match. Online Ranked matches cannot be started with BOTS (computer) but if a NON connection HOST player quits before going bankrupt they will be replaced by a BOT (computer). You can play with up to four people locally on the same Xbox 360.
The Monopoly Store is a nice touch and adds to the replay value as you try to earn Monopoly money to unlock additional content. Winners of a game gain just under 10,000 M and even the losers get some money, so if you are good you'll be rolling in the Monopoly money to unlock additional content.
Unlockables in the Monopoly Store:
M = Monopoly Money used to buy items in the Monopoly Store
Available Tokens and their (Characters):
Top Hat (Magical Kid) - UNLOCKED at start
Shoe (Little Girl) - UNLOCKED at start
Moneybag (Burglar) - M 15,000
Car (Race car driver) - UNLOCKED at start
Wheelbarrow (Farmer) - UNLOCKED at start
Dog (Dog walker) - UNLOCKED at start
Cop Hat (Officer) - M 20,000
Battleship (Admiral) - UNLOCKED at start
Iron (Maid) - M 10,000
Available Boards:
MONOPOLY City (3D board) - UNLOCKED at start
Cheese Board - M 6,000
Cardboard Board - M 7,000
Landmark City (3D board) - M 25,000
Classic Board - UNLOCKED at start
Jungle Board - M 9,000
Sweet Board - M 10,000
Plaza Board - M 5,000
Ice Board - M 8,000
Overall it's a good game, and probably the best console based Monopoly game to date, at least on the Xbox/Xbox 360 but it does have several issues that need to be fixed/patched.
Issues / Problems / Bugs:
1. If the connection HOST (person who starts a game) quits during an Online match (ranked or custom) the game will END for everyone in the game and NOBODY will get any credit for the game. That means nobody is declared a winner, nobody gets any Monopoly money for use in the Monpoly Store, and the stats don't update for whatever you did in the game.
The reason this happens is that there is NO Host Migration in the game, so if the HOST quits the whole game ends.
WARNING: If the connection HOST chooses to declare BANKRUPTY or goes BANKRUPT they "have to spectate" for the rest of the game and stay in the game until a winner is announsed by Mr Moneybags and wait for the game to automatically send everyone back to the Main Menu.
It is STRONGLY ADVISED that you HOST your own Online Matches and/or play with people who know about this issue otherwise, you'll more than likely end up with a connection HOST who QUITS not knowing that this ends the game for everybody. However, it is apparent that you don't necessarily become Connection Host even if you are the one to start/initiate the game.
This is also something that could be EXPLOITED by someone choosing to QUIT instead of having a loss show up on the leaderboards and their profile stats. Aside from doing this to GRIEF (annoy) people online.
2. Duing an Online match a human can go into the "Morgage and Build" menu, wait out the 60 second time, go back into it, rinse, repeat. Thus have a neverending turn in an attempt to GRIEF and make the other human player quit the game, for a win.
3. A BOT (computer) or human player's character can spin around in get put int he wrong direction and then get stuck on and/or fall off the game board and be unable to complete their turn. Thus making it immpossible for anyone else to take their turn. The game will never end and everyone will have to QUIT the game.
4. During the initial rolling of the dice to see who goes first, the dice will keep spinning or freeze and no one else will be able to take their spin and/or start the game.
Enjoy!

 Fun game indeed Nov 05, 2010
By Terrence L. Williams
This is a VERY fun game!!! The new mode (Streets) is a fresh take on the classic game. I have to say....I don't play very many games online, but this game is a blast to play via Xbox Live. You can customize the rules to your liking, and the game runs very smooth with no lag at all. The only gripe is that the avatars are pre-selected to match your token.....and their voices and animations can get a bit stale after a while. Fear not because the game gives you the ability to skip those animations!!! The major difference between this and the version for the PS3 is that you get to use your Xbox avatars in place of the generic avatars provided in the PlayStation 3 version. I am such a fan of games, I ended up getting a copy of both for each system. This is truly ONE OF THOSE GAMES that you can spend HOURS playing!!!

I don't really like Monopoly but... Nov 30, 2010
By k lee
"kayleec"
So I am not really a monopoly fan but was looking for a game that was easy to play with a variety of people young, old, newbies to video games and veterans to video games. I think this fits the bill. I am terrible at Monopoly anyway and always lose, but at least this version is fun and interesting while I am losing. The sounds the characters make are super funny and the ability to customize the rules is also a plus. One thing I would change is allowing you to choose a piece AND your character rather than forcing a player to only have the character attached to a specific piece.
We felt the game play was too slow so we sped it up in the Options area and the game moved so much quicker.
It's not very involved and that is just what I wanted - simple, easy to start, and put away when needed. I would say the only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because I don't really like Monopoly in general, but others in the house love the game and we enjoy playing it together.

 Very one sided game. Mar 01, 2011
By J. Black
I know people say it all the time, but his game cheats worse than any video game I have ever played. I was playing on medium computer. I owned every real estate on the board except railroads, utilities, board walk and parkplace. I have houses/hotels on nearly all my properties and the computer had hotels on board/park. I landed on park place 4 times in a row and the computer continously slipped past all my real estate by landing on chance/Community Chest/rail roads. I would not recommend this game to anyone just stick the the real thing and save yourself 40 bucks and hours of headache.

Fun as long as you don't play the computer. Dec 28, 2010
By B. Wertz
"Imautobot"
What can be said about Monopoly that hasn't already been said? The defacto capitalist board game has been a staple of American households for 75 years. In my lifetime, I've probably bought this game about 6 different times in several different variations.
Monopoly Streets is a nice addition to the franchise. It makes it considerably more fun and slightly less tedious than actually using the physical board game. Where it shines is as a multiplayer game. Where it fails is as a single player experience.
The game allows for custom rules which are always a good thing. There are several pre-made rule sets, but I've always been a fan of the Free Parking payday. Thankfully you can make this and many other modifications to make the game more interesting or just run faster. Though it's worth noting that despite this, Monopoly is still a lengthy game. I personally haven't tried the fast game variants, but unless you have at least an hour to burn, don't bother starting this one up.
One thing that I find really disturbing, which is more of a trend in the game industry is the micro transactions needed to unlock additional game content. By this I mean it's becoming commonplace to sell the consumer half a game and expect them to spend real money through the online marketplace to get the rest of the game. While playing the game you earn some monopoly credits which can be used to unlock some tokens and game boards. But the best ones are not so easily unlocked. You will literally have to pay real money to play on some boards or buy specific tokens like the cannon or the horse. The most expensive real money item is a board called Stratosphere City. It costs 560 Microsoft points which is about $8. By the time you buy all the downloadable content (DLC), you will have almost paid $60 for this $40 game. While this is a trend in the industry, I have noticed it more in EA products, which is who made this version of Monopoly.
The game comes with 2 Monopoly "Street" game boards. Moving around these boards is really neat. You can watch friend and local avatars walking around these boards which make it more interesting. When you buy property or build on property you see various animations depicting your purchase which definitely makes this game more appealing than the standard board game. The financial progress of the players is tracked by corporate headquarters located in the center of the map. The more total worth you have, the taller your headquarters becomes. That's an interesting way of keeping track of how much you're beating the other players by. However, if you turn off the move animations, it seems to disable viewing the HQ's grow or shrink. If you want to get through the game faster, turning off those animations will definitely speed things up a bit. You can unlock one additional "Street" style board (previously mentioned), and that's all there is for interactive boards. All others are just bland flat cardboard style boards with varying themes. Given the nature of this game, I wish they would have made every board style into an interactive Monopoly "Street" game board. At this time, the game isn't more than about 2-3 months old. So perhaps they intend on releasing more "Street" boards into the marketplace. But you know they won't be free.
As a human to human game experience this is a very fun game. Don't bother playing single player. The AI is vicious, even on easy. I played an easy AI yesterday and it took close to 200 moves to win. Basically the game cheats terribly. I know that might sound like I'm a sore loser, but I assure you, I am not a pushover when it comes to Monopoly. The reason why I accuse the game of cheating is that I would acquire every property on a side, do a full build, and it would take that AI about 8-10 times around the board before landing on those properties. Statistically they always have a 50% of landing on that property, and yet they conveniently missed them time after time. This really takes the fun out of the game. I wish there were a means to force game honesty by using real dice and entering those values into the game. It would add steps to a game, but it would most likely make the game shorter since it wouldn't conveniently be missing specific properties. It's worth noting that the AI I played last night was so hard to take down, I kept having to build my wealth, then buy properties from that AI at obscene prices, then build the properties all the way up. Even as I began to acquire all the properties it still seemed unreasonable how often the player missed landing on those properties. And as if to prove my point that the game managed to inexplicably avoid these hazards, I was not able to eventually win until I had actually bought every single property in the game and build every single hotel that the bank had to offer. I am truly terrified to find out how hardcore the medium and hard AI's are. Basically, don't bother. Just play real people locally and online.
Something to consider, the characters the game offers are very annoying and repetitive in their dialogue. I had several moments where I struggled to resist the urge to throw my controller at my TV. You can turn off voiceovers, and I highly recommend that. It's the only way to save your sanity.
Ending thoughts. I'd give it 7 out of 10. It's still Monopoly, and that's always fun. It's nice to have a computer quickly perform transactions which would otherwise involve handling physical Monopoly money, and depending on your game rules, a calculator. Avoid playing the computer players unless you're a masochist. It's worth $40, but I doubt I'll spend any more money to unlock boards and tokens which should have been included in the game.
[EDIT] I did buy the Stratosphere City map, and I don't recommend it. The cars on that map make the Jetson car sound, and it becomes maddening in a very short time. Turning down the sound effects helps, but also hinders audio you'd prefer to hear.
