The dice gods must have been watching, I never did throw snake eyes although some of the AI players did. I turned on the snake eyes option that pays a player $1,000 when two ones are rolled since I’m so unlucky at throwing dice. The fact that the auction rule is used (I used to always ignore that) and the fact that the AI players will make a deal almost always, no matter how bad it might be for one side (we were notorious for not dealing in our games) speeds the game up a lot.Īnd despite only being able to choose one special set of house rules at a time they still add some flavor to the game. Not bad since some games I’ve played in the past with other people have drug on for hours. The pace is pretty good for this game, I finished my first game with three AI players in one hour and ten minutes. They definitely provide some amusement while waiting for the AIs to take their turns. I think the animated graphics add a special touch to the game. This game does manage to capture the true gaming experience of playing a game of Monopoly. The AI enforces the rules fairly and there’s no cheating banker to deal with! It’s easy to see what properties you have and if they’re mortgaged.
He might be annoying sometimes but I still think he adds to the game.ĭespite all the drawbacks I found the game itself to be fun. The narrator is really a good addition, without him the game would be a little boring. The living board is a really good board with good animations, and the rest of the animations in the game are good as well. With a start like this you’d think I really hate the game, but I don’t. And the idea of having to select the language every time you start the game is pretty annoying. I need to totally shut down the game and start over.Ī few other things not to like is the lack of various playing boards to choose from and you can only select one custom rule set at a time instead of several. Not so with this game, my cursor moves about halfway down the screen then acts like it hit a wall. I have other games that occasionally do that and all I need to do is click on the icon at the bottom of the screen and it springs to life. Sometimes it will start minimized in the background. I occasionally have trouble getting the game to launch properly. So, is it the up arrow key in the cluster of the four arrow keys grouped together or the up arrow key on the num pad? If it is on the num pad does num lock need to be on for it to work? Oh, it’s the shift key you say, which doesn’t happen to have any kind of arrow key on it, at least not on my keyboard? It’s inattention to the little details like this that stop this from being a really good interface. For example, to select some of the options you need to use a key that shown in the interface as an UP arrow with not text or tooltip to identify it. By that I mean keys are used as shortcuts that are not normally used and they are not clearly identified in the game. The user interface is a little vague and counterintuitive. You shouldn’t have to create an account to play a game you’ve already paid for!
I know most of the major companies have that option, but it is an option, not a requirement. If you want a multiplayer version of this, you’d most likely be better off not investing in it.Īnother thing I dislike is being forced to sign-up for a Uplay account. Since this site likes to focus on the single-player aspect of a game that’s really not too much of an issue for us, but since there seems to be an overwhelming dislike of the multiplayer option it’s worth mentioning. Almost all the negative reviews I’ve seen concern the multiplayer game. Let’s get some of the negativity out of the way first since there is more than usual for this game.

Is Monopoly Plus worth the full price you’d have to pay to get it? Monopoly Plus Dislikes Since this site focuses on the single player aspect of PC games it means this game is still worth taking a look at. This game has mostly negative reviews on Steam but they almost all relate to the multiplayer version of the game. Considering all the negative reviews about multiplayer and a somewhat clunky UI, the game is still worth getting but not at full price.
