Monopoly (1997 video game)

[4][5][6] Some of the more common criticisms of this specific adaptation were the clunky and confusing menu system[3][4][6] and the incessantly looping background music,[3][4][8] while the ability to customize the game with popular unofficial rules like Free Parking jackpot was widely praised.

[a][8] Absolute PlayStation said the game's graphics were "tastefully executed", the board itself was "accurately represented", and that some of the pictorial representations of properties were "humorous".

[10] Mark Skorup of Gamezilla said the title would appeal to lovers of the Monopoly concept, but didn't enjoy cleaning up the mess after a round of the board game.

[5] Adam Douglas of IGN also thought the display often failed to provide important information, but considered the game's key weakness to be the poor A.I.

[6] In a retrospective review, Mark Kanarick of Allgame said this adaption of the board game can induce boredom due to the drawn-out animations and the difficulty of navigating through the menus for actions.
