1.0 out of 5 stars Cheating Ruins the Game, May 8 2004

By A Customer

All in all, there is actually very little to praise in Monopoly 3. The music is dull and after a few minutes begins to grate. The voices are annoying from the very start. The game, as noted in other reviews, cheats incessantly; making it a game not worth having.

The only reason to actually own this game is to play online with others. If you won't be doing that, and will only be playing against the computer, don't bother. The game cheats to the point of absolute frustration.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good game with minor issues, Dec 12 2003

By A Customer

Monopoly is a classic boardgame, and most families will have played the game and probably had plenty of fun. Monopoly 3 takes this to a new level.
The game is very easy to get to grips with: with the interface you can't really go wrong. With a large choice of different boards and many different game option, the game is customisable and therefore you can tweak the setting to exactly how you like them, which I admire.
The computer do appear to cheat with the dice rolls, but often this can't be noticed . The soundtracks can be funny and add a bit of atmosphere, but are mostly repetitive after the first couple of games.
The only real complaints I have with this game is the cheating, and the camera view: When you want to trade, for example, the camera will only zoom in on the centre of the board, so you can't actually see the prices.

Overall: If you have played Monopoly before and liked it, then this is definitely worth considering, although earlier free version could probably be given just as much thought.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Great Game For Those Who Loved The Original, Dec 10 2003

By	aralissia "~aralissia" (North Norway) - See all my reviews

What board game could be more American classic than monopoly? And MONOPOLY 3 brings it to your pc! No more playing alone as 3 different players for days and days (yes...I did this as a child, before the age of technology). There are cute graphics and animations, nice sound effects and voices (albeit a bit repetitious after hours of play), options galore that allow you to play with all sorts of different rules and with the Monopoly city versions of 10 cities (where the street names are names of places in that city etc). Basically if you loved Monopoly you will find this a good replacement to whining on your friends to play with you. But it does only seem to appeal to lovers of the game. Not to mention that there are issues with the game "cheating", and doesn't allow for different levels of difficulty. I believe the patch sorts some of these issues out, and they are eliminated completely when you play over the net. That's the real fun - playing with other Monopoly fanatics ;).
Despite a lot of bad reviews on Amazon, I find myself enjoying Monopoly immensely from time to time when I get that sudden board game urge. But if you have never thought once in the past year "oh I'd like to play monopoly", I wouldn't recommend purchasing it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Who Wants To Play A Game That Cheats?
All of the other people that have reviewed this game are correct. Some of the points are pretty picky, especially when this game has far greater flaws than annoying voices. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok game
This game is filler when there's no reason to go outside. The only pro vs. playing the real game is the ability to save for thoes long games you'd like to come back to later. Read more
