My husband is a Monopoly-addict, he can play anytime, anywhere.  With the Nintendo Wii version of Monopoly my husband and I can play a game without the mess of the pieces (that our kids will destroy) and even pause or it save it!  We can also mix it up with the different styles of the game and Monopoly boards!  When the first Monopoly came out for the Wii, my husband thought it was the coolest game.  Then with the new features included in Monopoly Streets both of us loved it.  Monopoly Streets I think makes Monopoly more exciting and it feels like you are walking around the actual Monopoly properties!  Both games though offer various gameboards, tokens and other features you can unlock as you play.  They also have different rules you can add or use for shorter gameplay and such.

What is nice is when you first load the game Monopoly Collection, you have two choices:  Monopoly or Monopoly Streets.  So it is like two Wii games in one!  Perfect for any Monopoly fan or as a family game night game!  While there is something fun and special about sitting around an actual Monopoly board game, the Wii versions have its perks too!

BUY IT: Look for “Monopoly Collection” for the Nintendo Wii online or wherever video games are sold!
