Development

The game was released to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Monopoly board game. [1]

Gameplay

The gameplay at its core is not too dissimilar from the original board game it was based on, but the board is presentated as a living, breathing city, [2] with there being pictural illustrations of each of the properties being constructed as they are bought, with designs based on the economic status of the surrounding area. [3] Elements such as auctions are done with streamlined and automated systems. Achievements can be unlocked for the player to gain access to new pieces and boards. [4]

Critical reception

The game received a Metacritic rating of 64% (PlayStation 3), [5] 66% (Xbox 360), [6] and 65% (Wii). [7] Meanwhile, the game received a GameRankings rating of 64.11% (PlayStation 3), [8] 67.22% (Xbox 360), [9] and 64.29% (Wii). [10]

IGN reviewer Colin Moriarty scored the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions a 7.5, but scored the Wii version a full point lower due to the lack of "online functionality". [11]
