I like playing Monopoly. It’s one of those classic board games that I’ll always agree to join in on if somebody asks me to. Part of the reason why I like it so much is because the game encourages a lot of communication and bonding between individual players. It’s because of this same reason that the game fails miserably as a standalone PC port.
That’s right. Some company thought it would be a brilliant idea to market the game as a PC version, essentially doing away with everything that made the board game fun in the first place like, oh, I don’t know…ACTUALLY TOUCHING THE BOARD AND THE PIECES AND HANDLING THE MONEY.
As you can imagine, you don’t do any of this in the PC game. In fact, all you do really is click your mouse over dialog boxes and the computer animates the rest of the standard procedure (like sucking your cash away after you’ve bought a property).
In a word, this game sucks. I don’t think I’ve played a worse game on the computer in a very long time. Why I even bothered to play this in the first place is unknown to me, but I can assure you I won’t be playing it ever again. DELETED!
True. this game is among the ***** indeed. Perfect for making you depressed.
