Time to Collect $200! Monopoly is Coming to a Console Near You
Get ready to roll the dice later this year in the upcoming Monopoly game by EA. Based on the popular “Here & Now” version of the board game, Monopoly will feature onffline and online play, group play, and fast gameplay so it won’t take hours for one person to win. In addition to the “Here & Now” board, the game will feature other Monopoly boards along with the ability to unlock more in the game.
“EA is taking MONOPOLY’S core gameplay and bringing it to life in a way never before imagined,” said Chip Lange, Vice President and General Manager of EA’s Casual Label. “With this dynamic take on Hasbro’s classic board game, we’ve accelerated the pace of play, added new interactive mini-game sequences and integrated multi-player moments designed to make MONOPOLY a non-stop party for the whole family.”
Monopoly will be releasing on Xbox 360, Wii and PS2 and on mobile platforms. Why the no love for PS3, EA? Other details are light at this point, but I will be interested to see how the Xbox 360 version works with Xbox Live.
Well I want my cut because I’ve been screaming for years that this should be released on XBLA (along with Dominoes and The Game of Life.)
LOL. The Game of Life would be awesome for XBLA - I’d to go college, have 4 kids and still beat everyone to the Mansion
