A Great Game For Those Who Loved The Original
What board game could be more American classic than monopoly? And MONOPOLY 3 brings it to your pc! No more playing alone as 3 different players for days and days (yes...I did this as a child, before the age of technology). There are cute graphics and animations, nice sound effects and voices (albeit a bit repetitious after hours of play), options galore that allow you to play with all sorts of different rules and with the Monopoly city versions of 10 cities (where the street names are names of places in that city etc). Basically if you loved Monopoly you will find this a good replacement to whining on your friends to play with you. But it does only seem to appeal to lovers of the game. Not to mention that there are issues with the game "cheating", and doesn't allow for different levels of difficulty. I believe the patch sorts some of these issues out, and they are eliminated completely when you play over the net. That's the real fun - playing with other Monopoly fanatics ;).
Despite a lot of bad reviews on Amazon, I find myself enjoying Monopoly immensely from time to time when I get that sudden board game urge. But if you have never thought once in the past year "oh I'd like to play monopoly", I wouldn't recommend purchasing it.

this game cheats
While this game is top of the line fun when playing other people, I'd have to recommend not playing against the computer. While playing the AI, my friends and I have noticed that the game cheats incessantly. The game allows the AI to build on your turn, but you cannot build on theirs, It almost never lands on my property, but I land on it's almost every go-around. the game allows the CPU to buy land (both for sale and on auction) even though it has NO cash and it offers outrageous trades. For example: I offered to trade the computer property for property giving us both monopolies. It countered by asking for ALL of my properties, save the one monopoly I was trying to get, like 8 in all and over $750 for the one property I wanted. It does this throughout the entire game making trading impossible and the game rendered impossible to beat if it allows no one to aquire a monopoly. The voices on the game get very annoying after a few minutes and the camera angles could use help. But in a multiplayer game it is much more fun, utilizing fully customizable gameplay options and different boards to play on... it's worth it if you have someone to play with. If not... look elsewhere

Cheating Ruins the Game
All in all, there is actually very little to praise in Monopoly 3. The music is dull and after a few minutes begins to grate. The voices are annoying from the very start. The game, as noted in other reviews, cheats incessantly; making it a game not worth having.

The only reason to actually own this game is to play online with others. If you won't be doing that, and will only be playing against the computer, don't bother. The game cheats to the point of absolute frustration.
