Family Friendliness: GamerPops.com:  Looking at Monopoly Streets, we’re not sure how you could come up with a better, more fun version of the classic Monopoly game as a video game. The core fundamentals of the game are spot on, and the presentation breathes welcome, but not distracting, life into the 75 year old game. While there’s still a lot to be said for gathering around the kitchen table with your pile of fake money and property cards arrayed before you, that’s not a realistic option for a lot of families, in which case a game like Monopoly Streets is a terrific option or families with older kids and tweens for the 21st century version of the classic family bonding time.
Highlights:
- If you’re playing on the Wii or the 360, you’ll also be able to play as Miis and Avatars, respectively, and see your city populated by your friends.
Lowlights:
When you are playing with AI opponents, they can do a couple of behind the scenes things, like mortgaging and improving property, or negotiating trades between each other, and it’s either barely presented to you, the player, or not presented at all.
