CGRundertow MONOPOLY for iPhone Video Game Review

[maxvandewiele]

its not "for iPhone" its "for iOS"

[TheSmackerlacker]

At first, I was irritated. Now I'm fascinated.

It's like a slasher movie, except instead of Jason Vorhees, it's our friend Amanda, and instead of people, she's slaughtering the English language.

Some people just shouldn't be in show business.

Too long; didn't watch.

[EmeraldWarrior420]

What about the Free Parking space?! Can you set it to win the pot, like in the popular alternate way to play the board game?

I want AC/DC monopoly

[aidanM92]

Monopoly is way to random. Board games have come a long way since the great depression (when monopoly came out) and people really need to get with the times. Parents: you wouldn't buy your kid an atari 2600 like the one you grew up with, you'd get them a modern system. so instead of buying your kids the "classic" board games that you grew up with, that your parents grew up with and that their parents grew up with, games that haven't been improved upon in a hundred years, get them something new.

[progrocker69]

@aidanM92 Your "newer is better" logic is pathetic. By your reasoning, children should never be exposed to, among countless other things:

Bowling, billiards, checkers, chess, backgammon, Scrabble, almost any game involving playing cards, frisbees, golf, tennis, karate and tae kwon do, swimming, bicycles, baseball, football, basketball, hockey or surfing.

Because, all of those things have been around for several generations, if not hundreds or thousands of years.

[aidanM92]

The problem is that most people don't know that newer boardgames exist or that there are board games other than those prouced by parker bros./Milton Bradley. There are awesome indie game companies who have new and innovative approaches to boardgame design but big store like walart won't carry their games because they just arent household names like monopoly or risk. When it comes to boardgames popularity=/= quality.

[aidanM92]

@progrocker69 and, I'm just stating my opinion, please don't call it pathetic. Praise Monopoly all you want, it's your choice, but if you played some newer game designs your opinion on the matter might change.

[progrocker69]

@aidanM92 And what's more, name a good game which does NOT contain random elements? Monopoly might be random, but there are proven strategies and methods for improving one's game and assuring a better than even chance of winning against someone of lesser skill.

So then, are you also trying to tell us that children shouldn't be exposed to games or other situations which may foster a better understanding of probability and statistics, which are tools for good critical thinking?

Okay, sure....

@aidanM92 Old consoles rule! I've met 5 year olds that still love the Sega Genesis.

[Fay7666]

this game looks bad compared to the iPad version

[talktal]

in europe we spit on monopoly. silly capitalist pigs

[aGeilini]

I always play againts myself, (NO NPC)

that way. I always win. :)

[SuperSlashnoBros]

@aGeilini Nice.

[masticina]

Nice game though well yeah so old really by now.

[SkullOfYorick]

Why bother with a video-game version? The actual board-game, played with friends and family, is much more entertaining.

[janfeyen9]

I play Monopoly with the a way that the Taxes you pay on the board and the fees that need to be paid By Community chest or Chance cards all go in the middle and if you hit Parking you can get all that money

[bigpileofpuke]

I want a review not a retelling of the rules of the game

[aml500]

@bigpileofpuke if she didnt tell you the rules it would be a 3 second review, "Monopoly on iphone" done

[purasoledad]

thanks amanda :)

[Joewestwood]

I think all of humanity is familiar with the rules of monopoly.

[MrBv256]

Everyone is looking out for this. Oh wait, no, no one is.

[JaimyAeon]

I normally never comment because I am just here to watch the video.
