Developed by EA Salt Lake and published by Electronic Arts, the game was released on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii on October 26, 2010.

[1] The gameplay at its core is not too dissimilar from the original board game it was based on, but the board is presented as a living, breathing city,[2] with there being pictural illustrations of each of the properties being constructed as they are bought, with designs based on the economic status of the surrounding area.

Achievements can be unlocked for the player to gain access to new pieces and boards.

[4] The game received a Metacritic rating of 64% (PlayStation 3),[5] 66% (Xbox 360),[6] and 65% (Wii).

[10] IGN reviewer Colin Moriarty scored the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions a 7.5, but scored the Wii version a full point lower due to the lack of "online functionality".
