Monopoly Tycoon. I got this game two years ago but I'm reviewing it now because I have just recently got into it again.
This is nothing like your traditional board game. Bassicly you have a huge city to build residential areas and shops. The game starts in the 1930's and every ten game years new shops come out to replace the old ones. There are different scenarios such as a Daily Profit of £4000. You can also play multiplayer online but nobody seems to be playing it. I guess two years ago people would be playing online all the time. The game has the same streets as the board game and a few new ones.
The graphics are very good except for the buildings look a bit blocky. The character models are a bit perculiar and they stride along very fast instead of walking.
The music is very good and every ten years the music changes to suite that era. The sound is good with talking predestrians and moving cars.
The gameplay is very good and has a lot of depth. You can buy individual streets and you do not have to pay rent and if your opponent's shops are on the street you own they have to pay rent to you. You compete against one to five A.I. And every pedestrian has there own needs.
The game is very long and extremily tough so you will be playing it along time if you are determend to do it. The game also has three difficulties, bronze cup, silver cup and gold cup.
Overall this is a very good game but will only appeal to you if you are a tycoon fan or you like to run bussinesses. The only problems are that when you click the mouse it does not always register it.
9/10

Funniest line in the review:

Oh, sorry, that wasn’t in the review. Still made me laugh though.

It's a totaly different game you fool. It's nothing like the board game.
Monopoly Tycoon? Have you taken leave of your senses? I'd NEVER buy a game converted from a boardgame because it defeats the purpose. Games like Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, The Weakest Link, Monopoly will NEVER get more than a 3/10 from me, no matter how good they are. It just seems like a foolish waste of money.
It's more fun playing the real game with real friends so why change it? You can't even surrepticiously steal from the bank when you're running low on money so WHAT'S THE POINT?
*goes outside for a cigarette to calm his seething rage*

By the way you may be able to get it cheaper!
