    It plays a fairly decent game of Monopoly. The real question for fans of the board game will be whether you think £29.99 / $39.99 is a fair price for the Switch version, given that it’s only a third of that price on Xbox One and PS4.

    This game surprised me in a good way.

    Someone below mentioned the long load times - I first experienced those too, but it turns out that you just need to restart your Switch. After that the load time to launch the game changes to 10-15 seconds (I timed it). It's really odd that this even happens, but I'm quite relieved that it's so easily fixed.

    The game itself runs quite smoothly, both in docked and handheld. There are different game modes, where you play classic Monopoly with classic rules, or you can switch (heh) it up and add action cards or house rules. There's also an addition of "living boards", where the boards have a theme, and the properties come alive when you land on them or purchase them. The visuals are really nice, and I the music is fantastic. I turned off the voices though, as I found them pretty obnoxious.

    I noticed some input lag during the selection screen where you select your player piece, and I also think they should make the dice rolling using the joycons a bit smoother. It's pretty cool that they attempted to use motion controls with HD rumble for dice rolling though.

    The online play also seems quite interesting. It wasn't very easy to get into a game, since a lot of players kept joining and leaving during the setup. Once a game got started, however, most people seemed to stick around.

    In conclusion, this seems like a fantastic party game to play online or with friends, or just versus AI if that's your thing. Personally I think it's pretty great to have available on the go, and the presentation overall is quite nice. The price tag is a little bit steep, but I expect to get my money's worth over time.    … Full Review »

    The game is a great addition to the Switch.
    As for the slow load times, reboot your swtich after you are done downloading it.
    Fixes it instantly.

    EL juego me ha sorprendido muy gratamente, lo mejor de los juegos de mesa traído a una experiencia portátil, simplemente genial para llevarloEL juego me ha sorprendido muy gratamente, lo mejor de los juegos de mesa traído a una experiencia portátil, simplemente genial para llevarlo a las reuniones familiares.
    Lo que se le puede tachar a este juego es que al ser hecho por Ubisoft alguna falla importante tendrá y en este caso específico es el error de las pantallas de carga interminables, el cual se arregla reinciciando la consola para que la pantalla de carga se reduzca a cuestión de 10 - 15 segundos.    … Full Review »
