I have enjoyed this game sense the day it came in the mail. It is so good that I find myself talking to it, is that nut’s? Very good game.
I love this game! You can play against the computer (at different levels), add more than one computer player and add other players as well. It’s a great game to pass the time…Monopoly Here & Now
I enjoy this version of Monopoly but there are things that could be improved upon. For instance, how do you delete the games that you have finished? You can just keep loading them even if you or the computer won.
I have the older version and the graphics are 100% better, but I can live with that.
There seems to be less options in “Monopoly Here & Now.”
The ultimate issue that I have with both versions is that you have to have the disc inserted in order to play. This is wrong. When I buy a game or program, I expect to be able to load it onto my computer. Example: Paint Shop Pro.
I like how it doesn’t take up much space on my laptop. Some game to play when I’m really really really super bored when I have to visit relatives house for a few days or something for holidays.
I love monopoly anyway.
It’s not really a fancy 3-D dynamic pictures like some other computer-based monopoly version, this one’s rather 2-D looking flatboard and dice rolling etc. Very simple.
Once you install it, you don’t need to have CD with you (at least in my case, I didn’t need CD after I installed it), which is a plus for some game to play at leisure.
The music gets a little boring after playing for awhile though.
We have the actual Here & Now version of Monopoly, and this is a faithful computer rendition of it. Very fun to play. The computer AI opponents aren’t terribly smart (even at the smartest level), but they do good enough of a job to make it fun to play solitaire if you want to. They are like a human player in the sense that they have their quirks about what/when they will trade and what/when they won’t, and you have to learn that by playing them. Once you know their weaknesses, you can use those to beat them. I guess that’s about all you can ask for. The interface for doing trades if very good. When playing more than one human, it takes the drudge work out of dealing with paper money, which speeds the game along nicely. We made sure my daughter had played the real game and successfully been the banker a few times before getting this. I am running this on an XP box and do not have to leave the CD in.
