Critical reception
Bill Stiteler of AppleLinks.com praised the game's customisation options, and ability to accommodate player-player and player-NPC games, though criticised its computer-animated graphics and voiceovers.[3] Mac Gamer reviewer Danilo Campos thought it was a solid adaption of the board game, but that it didn't make the physical version obsolete.[4] Richard Hallas of Inside Mac Games described the game's graphics as "spectacular", though noted the AI can sometimes interrupt a human player's move by making trades and offers.[2]: 2
Meristation said Monopoly New Edition praised the interface and customisation while describing the artificial intelligence as "artificial obstinacy".[5] Jeuxvideo.com thought the graphics were "simple", the gameplay "lacked originality", its replayability was "limited", and the music was mostly "repetitive".[6] Impulse Gamer said it lacked the excitement of the board game and could become quite repetitive.[7] Computer Shopper said the title had the perfect mix of 3D graphics, animation, and sound.[8] Dan Adams of IGN wrote that the game lacked in imagination and creativity.[9] Game Over Online disliked the realistic looking design to the game.[10]
Greg Miller of IGN said the PSP version was not groundbreaking, but that it was enjoyable and fun.[11] PlayStation LifeStyle thought the game was simple yet fun.[12]
