Editor's review of Monopoly for Palm OS

• "Monopoly for Palm OS"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: Monopoly for Palm OS 1.2.3

This fast-paced version of the classic real-estate-mogul game seems even more addictive than we remember. Monopoly lets you play against up to three computerized or human opponents on your Palm device. Available customization options are not plentiful, but you can at least choose your playing piece and which AI opponents you face off with. Monopoly's colorful board is laid out just like its real-world counterpart, and gameplay proceeds in the same manner with one exception. Although you'll be able to reject or accept trade offers from other players, we could never figure out how to initiate a trade ourselves. That said, the built-in opponents can be quite clever, and it took us a few tries for us to bankrupt them. We would prefer a longer trial period, particularly since the game is so entertaining, but you should still be able to get a clear enough picture whether it's worth purchasing. If you love Monopoly and carry a Palm, we see no reason why this one would disappoint you.

  "It is a regular boardgame made mobile."

  by tester112 on February 20, 2006

  Cons: There is no limit on how many houses you can erect per turn. You don't need to land on the property to erect houses and hotels.

  "Lots of Fun"

  by Shannon0419 on March 7, 2006

  Pros: I tried the trial version first, and when i played all 10 games in one day decided I had to have it! Love the game! Just like the original boardgame. You can play against up to 3 other players (human or palm).

  Cons: The only bad part is I have only seen "get out of jail free" card once or twice. Not really a big deal!
