My husband is a Monopoly freak, obsessed doesn’t even cut it. We have a million different versions of the game, which I don’t even get because isn’t it the same game anyways! Now before my sons were born, we played board games probably once a week, now I honestly can’t even think of the last time we played a board game. It is just too hard with all the pieces and curious hands! Our new outlet for entertainment since having kids is the Wii and when I heard that Monopoly was available for the Wii, I knew my husband would love it.
I received the new Monopoly
My husband and I love this game and it is awesome for people that want quick game play or want a change in traditional Monopoly-play. You shake the dice with the Wii controller, buy properties, make trading offers, and of course there are Chance and Community Chest cards. There are ten playable boards, with properties reflecting themes like arctic, future, jungle and more! To play different gameboards though you do have to unlock the boards through gameplay, but that is just more challenges and fun!
The game is very close to regular game play, but it is just more fun with the Wii-remote actions. Oh and there are even awesome mini-games to play in! These are fun little breaks. The only drawback with the game is that as two players it automatically adds in two computer players and that was annoying, otherwise you can really customize everything and change some rules.
Overall, this is a great game although I can only vouch for the Wii version. I am sure the other versions on the other systems are fun too, but I like the Wii remote actions. It is colorful, bright, and has lots to offer. I think this too would be a great game for families to play who love their Wii and are looking to incorporate some board games into family time!

Actually it's not always the same game. I remember there was a version of Monopoly promote in some cereal box that was completely different. It came out around 2002 or so. Basically, the focus was entirely on developing properties, and when each player rolled they'd get cool benefits or get screwed. I dunno what the name of it was, but it was a lot of fun when I was in middle school!
