This is a good adaptation of Monopoly, but it really would have benefitted from some touch ups. The “speed” of the game is too slow, and that makes it a chore to get through. Although all the “character” pieces are nicely animated, they’re just not appealing enough to deal with how long the animations are go on for. The game board itself is well done, with dynamic lighting and all. But you’ll probably noticing how the controls are also awful too. I mean the D-Pad is right there but it’s just... never used. Instead you have to rely on the C-Stick to navigate menus, which makes for a cumbersome experience.
As for the game itself, it is pretty self explanatory. It’s standard Monopoly, and I can appreciate the variety of options you can tool around with to make it your own kind of Monopoly. Also, bonus points for allowing multiplayer with one controller.
As it stands, unless you’re trying to build a N64 collection, or relive some nostalgia, there’s little value in this version of Monopoly. Although it’s better than it’s PlayStation counterpart, you’d be better off trying the newer iterations or well, playing it in person like it’s always meant to be.
