Touch Arcade: I sometimes wonder if we play Monopoly more out of habit, or some sense of nostalgic obligation, rather than because we actually want to. There’s barely a half-functioning family in the world that doesn’t have some kind of annual board game tradition, and at some point during the year we all give Monopoly a dusting off and joke, between yawns, about how great it’d be if this were real money.
AR: Devastating news: you’ve probably been playing Monopoly all wrong. No need to fret though; Monopoly Millionaire is made for the rebel within us.
Monopoly is a generational landmark. The game that Parker Brothers immortalized embodies its own gameplay remarkably well: its humble beginnings and explosive popularity practically tell the story. In this modern day version (an electronic port of a physical reboot of the classic version), the story is tweaked a little, but the fable mostly remains recognizable.
AppSpy: If you're looking for a new spin on an old classic, Monopoly Millionaire doesn't completely reinvent the wheel here, but has a couple new additions to make things interesting, that should keep the enthusiasts more than happy.
Pocket Gamer: In these post-financial meltdown times, you'd think that a game casting you in the role of a money-grabbing fat cat - with the aim of making a killing on the property market - would be as popular as George Osborne.
Yet Monopoly is as popular, and as flash with its cash, as ever.
