iPhone App Of The Week: Monopoly

I’ve always enjoyed playing Monopoly but it’s not fun playing the board game by myself. Since the iPhone version came out, I have been playing against the AI quite a bit.

Even at the hardest levels I figured out what the AI’s strategy is but I keep playing. Technically the game plays as expected but graphically it could use some improvements. There should be the ability to turn of some of the cut scene details such as having to watch the dice or players move. It could improve battery life and get the game moving a little faster. Some of the detail could use some polish.

MONOPOLY is available at the iTunes app store fore $4.99icon.

    In the same realm of “fun boardgames turned into pretty good iphone apps” : have you tried catan or hive?

    all of these are better face-to-face against friends, but iphone versions are not bad when you cant get a group together
