Monopoly Streets
© 2010 Electronic Arts
In celebration of Monopoly's 75th Anniversary, Monopoly Streets lets you see your city from the ground up in a 3D world. You can race head-to-head with friends or online to build the greatest city and accumulate the most wealth. You can also play as your own Xbox 360 avatar or Wii Mii and see your city filled with avatars from your friends list. The game also features different modes allowing you to choose how long the game lasts, as well as different themed 3D cities including modern city, futuristic city, and world landmark city. Additional features include: the ability to customize the house rules, allowing you to select the amount of starting cash and properties and whether to use the speed die; options governing how and when you can build up your properties, and how little money you lose if you downgrade; and board and property rules including setting the behavior of specific spaces such as higher payout at GO, adding money to Free Parking, and reducing tax amounts and Jail penalties.
