Fun with friends, but that's about it...

User Rating: 7.5 | Monopoly 2008 PC
If you have friends that love monopoly as much as my buddies and I, then this is definitely a worthy investment. Setting up a game is easy and the layout is simple and easy to use. This makes offline multiplayer great fun as you fight for properties like boardwalk or the railroads. The game is also a failry small installation, so installing it on a laptop and playing it with a study group during a study break is a great idea. However, that's about all the game has to offer considering that playing against the computer AI is bland and somewhat predictable. The lack of online multiplayer and new rules make this lackluster replacement to the actual board game. So if you have a group of friends that love monopoly (who doesn't?!?) and wouldn't mind putting up with some lame music and old school graphics, then this game is great fun.
