If you think of large, money-hungry corporations (such as Microsoft, Time Warner, etc.) when you hear the word "monopoly", this isn't for you.

However, if you think of neon colored money, Boardwalk, passing Go, etc. then don't delay in picking up this game.

Here are some important catagories:

Faithful to the original: 10/10
There are many options as to how you can play, such as "landing on free parking jackpot", landing on "Go" double money, etc., or you can play with the standard rules. There is Classic Mode or Party Mode, where every person rolls at the same time (which eliminates down time). They thought of everthing this time around!

Computer AI: 7/10
Challanging enough to play by yourself. There are three levels of AI (Easy, Medium, Hard), but the only difference is how hard trading will be with them. Even on hard difficulty the computer will sometimes make some strange decisions, especially where trading is concerned.

On a more serious note, THIS GAME FREEZES UP ON THE GAMECUBE VERSION, approximately 4-5% of all games, in which you must restart the Gamecube. This hasn't been the first GC game I've bought with this problem. A VERY unfortunate flaw which keeps me from giving this game 5 stars. Buyer Beware is all I'm trying to say. I still reccomend the purchase for twenty (or less) dollars.

Overall, very good. Give it a shot.

I bought Overkill, Bomber, Ace of Spades, & Hammersmith all at once. I had fairly little knowledge of Motorhead before hand. Overkill is BY FAR the best album out of the four. I wish I had grown up with this one.

1. Overkill - Great way to kick off an album. Crushing speed metal. Slightly too long. A-

2. Stay Clean - This version is far superior to the one on Hammersmith. One of my favorites. A+

3. I Won't Pay Your Price - This song is amazing. Demands your complete attention. A+

4. I'll Be Your Sister - More great riffing, non-serious lyrics. A

5. Capricorn - Seems like it could have been inspired by Blue Oyster Cult. Bluesy, spacy, menacing. A

6. No Class - Another die-hard anthem like Stay Clean. Turn Up Loud! A

7. Damage Case - Worst song on Overkill. Having said that, it's actually pretty good. B

8. Tear Ya Down - What a riff this is! FUN A+

9. Metropolis - Another BOC-like tune. Has a sing-along quality (which most of these do). A

10. Limb From Limb - More pioneering speed metal. I slightly prefer this to "Overkill", but I still give it an A-.

Bonus Tracks

11. Too Late, Too Late - Could have easily made it onto the original Overkill album, in terms of quality. A-

12. Like A Nightmare - Like the title implies, it's freakish. A little slower than their average tune. Captures the feeling of a nightmare well. A-

13. Louie, Louie - Not an entire waste of time. A somewhat straight interpretation of the original, with the Motorhead sound, of course. B-

14. Tear Ya Down (Instrumental) - Nearly as good without lyrics. A-

15. Louie, Louie (Alt.) - One version was enough. Usually I shut the CD off after #14, so I can't rate this

Anyone who loves Loud music will want to have this CD. Although it helped pioneer a certain genre of music, it surprisingly doesn't sound dated at all. After this you'll want to get Ace of Spades.
