Review: Monopoly Party (Gamecube*)

Sound- 1/10
Gameplay- 8/10
Replay Value- 5/10
Overall- 5/10

Monopoly Party is a pretty bad game. The graphics and sound in this game are terrible and can distract you from the game. This is the lazy man's Monopoly, and if you don't like to play Monopoly...then why are you reading this? Don't buy this game (unless you like to play Monopoly.)

Let me start off by saying I only paid $20 for this game and I still might have over paid. My initial though was, "Hey, this could be fun to play with my friends sometimes." I guess it was at first, but the novelty of the game quickly wears off because the graphics and increasingly annoying soundtrack and voice acting distract you. The graphics in this game are terrible, but I guess if you're considering buying this it's probably not for the graphics. You will get fed up with the voice acting in this game, no matter why you're buying it. Not only is the acting bad, but it's repetitive and stupid sounding. The new addition to this game is the way to play called "Party" (verses classic) and that game is absolutely terrible, I can't even begin to explain it and all of its crazy rules.

The only positive thing about this game is it stays true to Monopoly and doesn't change the basic format unless you personally change the settings. You can set things such as the free parking jackpot and $400 when you land on "Go." 10 dollars is about the right price for this game.

Pros: Good if you like Monopoly. Good if you're lazy.
Cons: Graphics. Sound. Bad if you don't like Monopoly.
