As mentioned before, the core gameplay is the same as it always has been. Free Parking collection, double salary when landing on GO and many other various house rules can be changed at your will, fulfilling all types of Monopoly players. Perhaps the nicest addition to this iPhone version is the ability to auto-sell/auto-mortgage property when in a hurry. Hitting this button will intelligently decide what your more useless properties are and automatically mortgage them when you’re in a bind. Not only does this save a tremendous amount of time, but it can help shape you into a more efficient player when switching to a real game board.

In the end, though, it’s Monopoly, and you already know whether or not you like it. The game comes with its own small package of annoyances, like animations that last just a bit too long and watered down (yet mathematically smart) AI. Playing even just a few games by yourself will make you wish you had someone else to challenge. While the title does feature a WiFi mode, it’s only for local gaming, and at that point you might as well just sit down play the real deal. However, if you’re still aching for that mobile Monopoly fix, you’ll be hard pressed to find a more polished version.
