Is this better than the board version? Yes. Is it a great video game? Not really. Monopoly is really fun, if you like Monopoly, yet it's not exciting or spectacular. The gameplay is done well, with everything being pretty easy to access.
The next best thing about it is the ability to change house rules. You can choose if you want Free Parking to pay nothing, $200, or $500, or how much you want paid out if you pass Go or if you want that doubled if land ON Go! You can also choose the starting cash amounts, taxes, etc etc.
The passport feature is also done pretty well. As you land on each of the properties for the first time, you'll receive a "stamp" in your passport book. When you get a certain number of stamps, you unlock a new passport, and a new game board. The different game boards are pretty cool, and they also have theme-related pieces.
For the Achievement lovers out there, you'll be happy with the 80+ points you're likely to receive in the first game.
I gave this game a 10 because I rented it as a Monopoly lover, and it is everything a Monopoly game could be. It's perfect for casual gamers and families. If you're just tired of Halo 3, Gears of War, and Call of Duty 4, I don't think this game will quench your thirst.
