Ever since I received the TP2 I have been desperately trying to find apps, games, and themes for it. Normally I am not big on cell phone games because I did not like anything unnecessarily draining my battery but I decided to give some games a shot this time. I figured I might as well get all the use of my device and have something to do in my downtime. Well I went ahead and purchase Monopoly: Here and Now and am in love with this game!
Before even purchasing this game I had to decide on whether to get this version or the Classic. I had never played Here and Now before so I figured I might as well try something new. It is basically the game updated for todays standards (thus the Hear and Now name) with properties costing millions instead of hundreds and more relevant property names to fit in with the times (airports instead of railroads and Times Square instead of Boardwalk).
The graphics are refreshing and has some nice board animations. You can play up to 4 opponents with them being either human, computer, or a mix of both. There are three difficulties to choose from which are easy, medium, or hard and I usually end up playing medium. Besides that it is the same monopoly game that we have all grown to love. It was a bit amused by some of the things they made for Chance and Community Chest. Two card that stands out in my mind is “You have been caught for Internet Fraud. Go Directly to Jail, do not pass go” or “You have been cast in a reality show, Collect 200k”.
If you are a fan of Monopoly or are just l0oking for a fun game then definitely check this out. It cost $9.95 in the app store which you can check out HERE. I really have nothing negative to say about this game and to my surprise it was very forgiving on my battery life. The game did not drain my battery anywhere near what I was expecting which is a huge plus in my book.
So enjoy Monopoly: Here & Now
