EA’s Monopoly Here & Now: The World Edition was a runaway success on the iPhone, and still charts among the platform’s top sellers a year after its initial release. While it plays just like Parker Brothers’ original real estate-trading board game, it also packed a lot of aesthetic changes that purists may have found superfluous or distracting.
If you prefer Boardwalk to Barcelona and would rather buy up railroads than invest in airlines, EA has released an iPhone adaptation of the classic version of Monopoly ($4.99).
Monopoly includes many of the features found in the Here & Now edition — including the ability to roll the dice by shaking the iPhone — but it retains the look and feel of the original board game. Monopoly also features three difficulty levels and a multiplayer mode playable over a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection.
