Monopoly

Synopsis

EA gives players a new spin on an old classic in the digital version of Monopoly, with gameplay for players of any skill.

Monopoly is one of the most well-known board games on the planet, and this title transfers the business-minded gameplay of the cardboard version to the computer realm with a number of new tweaks and improvements alongside. Up to four players can play the classic game at one time, allowing players to help one another and progress no matter their knowledge of the game. This also speeds up gameplay and removes any ‘downtime’ waiting for players’ turns. Recognisable locations from around the glove fill up the crisp 3D board, with slick animations that still retain the Monopoly feel many have grown up with.

As well as the classic Monopoly board, players can try to fill up their passport to unlock entirely original game boards to play on. These new features extend to mini-games, where players can challenge others to break out of jail or try to escape with their stolen money.

The world of Monopoly has successfully made its move onto consoles, with a number of improvements and additions keeping the classic board game fresh.
