Summary

Is it Monopoly? ... or is it SimCity?

The Good

I am a fan of both the SimCity series and the board game Monopoly and in my opinion this game is like a cross between the two. The isometric view also provides a good detailed view for playing the game.

The Bad

As I mentioned earlier I see this game as being a cross between SimCity and Monopoly and I don't think it can quite decide what one it wants to be. I prefered playing the previously mentioned games by themselves: If I want to build I will play SimCity, if I want to manage money and plots of land I will play Monopoly. Also, I don't know if I am the only one but I had terrible problems with the display. The screen would flicker a lot during the opening video and during the game. To correct this problem I had to use the lowest graphics setting which is a shame because my computer is more than capable of displaying the game in the highest graphics mode.

The Bottom Line

All in all a bit of a dud. I only played this game because it contains elements of two of my favourite games.
