from BestBuy Summary:
I got this last night and am posting a quick review since there is only one other review up...
The game is the best adaptation of the board game to a video game that I've played. It stays true to the classic game and doesn't have any deviations like side games (which is either a good thing or a bad thing depending on your perspective). There are five boards you can choose. We looked at each briefly but chose to use the classic board for our first game.
It's nice to be able play with two humans and two AI players since the board game is pretty boring with only 2 people. There are three levels of AI but we chose the computer people to be stupid so that one of us would win the first game. Next time I'll try the harder computer...
It allows you to customize the rules in order to let you play with some of the "homegrown" rules that most of us use (Jackpot on Free Parking, immunity on traded property, etc.). With other games I've played, I've always been frustrated that I can't use the rules I would use with the board game so this is really a sweet feature.
Another nice thing is the ability to save the game. That way, a game doesn't have to take HOURS to finish. The game goes pretty quickly even in the classic mode (see below)--much quicker than the board game since you don't need a banker. Trading properties is a little confusing at first but at least it's comprehensive (you can trade for property and money, and you have the ability to offer immunity or futures to the person you are buying from).
