 Nice, 2007-05-07
Monopoly is always a good game to play. But I wish the software was faster during the game. The waiting time between actions can be boring

 Why no saving of the settings, 2006-01-09
My biggest grips with this game is not the cheating by playing out-of-turn - it is the fact that you cannot save the settings for another time.
Each time you start it up - even if you have a game saved - you need to go through the tedium of manually switching off the voices for the narrator, the voice for the playing pieces - and any other settings you want changed.
I like to be able to open a game / application and have it ready for me to use - Monopoly3 does NOT let you do that, you have to make all the changes to your preferences each and every time - while the narrator offers you his cordial greetings - once again.
Graphics are good, cheating is bad, no save option for settings is a right pain in the behind.

 this game cheats, 2004-06-23
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, 2004-05-08
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.
