DESCRIPTION

You've landed on a railroad and decide to go ahead and buy it. You then come to the Fireworks Show and must pay two dollars to watch. And now you want to pass "Go," but you have to contribute three dollars to Mr. Monopoly's "Loose Change" and then have your lunch — so much for having your cake and eating it too! Before you move onto the next lot, why not have some fun in this elaborate Amusement Park, where you'll have the opportunity to win some cash from the mini-games inside.

Better yet, make your move to any of the following: a water slide, helicopter ride, roller coaster, a Ferris Wheel, bumper cars, a merry-go-round, miniature golf, or even a haunted house. Does this sound like Monopoly to you? Well, not exactly. It's Monopoly Junior by Hasbro Interactive, where Mr. Monopoly is here to help you earn amusement real estate! He's standing on the Boardwalk and will roll the dice and guide you along the way if you need an explanation of the game in any of its amusing situations.

Based on the classic Monopoly board game, Monopoly Junior comes to life on your PC in a fabulous environment filled with animation and characters where you can buy rides, set up ticket booths, collect money from other players and even play eight mini-games. The game ends when someone runs out of money and the player with the most money is declared the winner. You can play alone or with up to three other friends!

Chance Cards send you around the board in a video presentation where you'll be able to see the entire amusement park! Each player starts off with a wallet containing $31 and you'll hear a cash register sound signaling when other players land on one of your amusements, thus owing you a fee or whenever you pass "Go" to collect two dollars. When your wallet is open, simple clicking actions let you pay entrance fees to another player or contribute to Mr. Monopoly's "Loose Change."

Put a new twist to the traditional Monopoly board game with Monopoly Junior, a family entertainment package designed to give your kids a wild ride. ~ Cal Nguyen, All Game Guide
