Monopoly iPhone app Review
Description:
This is the classic board game of Monopoly in a fabulous iPhone app so you can take it anywhere! You know how this game goes, buy, sell and trade property until you own it all. You can take a ride on the Reading Railroad or get a chance to buy Boardwalk. You can even go directly to Jail without passing “GO.” This is a great version of the well-loved board game app. One exciting thing is that the tokens are animated and there are many interactive features as you work your way around the board. You don’t miss any of the board game fun, you even get to roll the dice by shaking your device! Manage your properties by a tap of the screen. You can build a house on Marvin Gardens, or draw a “Chance” or “Community Chest” card.
As you play your way through the three levels of difficulty you will see how intuitive the controls are. Games can be saved in progress, which is great when you are on the go. You can customize the “house rules” and the number of players and even the game environment. Multi-player options are available so you can challenge as many as 3 friends online using Wifi and Pass ‘n Play, and you can challenge 2 friends with the Bluetooth Multiplayer. You can also play against the computer any time. This great game app also allows you to listen to and control your music while you play with no game interruption

Conclusion:
This boardgame app has all the features of the original board game. Most game app users who like the old board game appreciate the accuracy of the board and play. The only complaint is that in the medium and hard levels the Al seems to rig the dice and skim past your properties while you always land on its properties time after time. Overall the game is fun, but can be a bit frustrating in the ‘luck’ factor. This game app is currently rated 3.5 out of 5 stars by iPhone app users and runs $4.99.
