Toys and Games Reviews of Monopoly Town
Customer Review: Not sure what all the negative reviews are about.....
Summary: 4 Stars
we really like this game. I looked at this game for a long time and read all the reviews and REALLY wanted to feel good about buying it because I LOVE the idea and it looks so cute. When Amazon finally put this item down to $4.99, I could not resist. I am so glad that I took the leap and am really glad I got the price I got, but would have paid up to $14.99 for it. Ours works perfectly well, as long as you are playing it correctly. You do have to count and move the car the right number of spaces, over the little sensors, but if you do that (and games are about following instructions and directions right?) then it works perfectly. It is really cute, although I wish the track and board were better looking. I am really impressed with the concept, and love how they have tied traditional Monopoly up in a neat little bow for small children. There are no loose ends or flaws in the rules, you know how spin-off games sometimes disappoint and do not translate well. This one works so well. The game takes just long enough to play to feel like you are accomplishing something, but no so long that the kids lose interest. I think it transcends age groups well, my three year old played, my 14 year old was not bored to tears and I enjoyed playing with them. The smaller ones will be able to play this alone for several years when they get just a bit older. I would consider what your goal is for the use of the game when deciding whether to buy this item. If you are thinking about purchasing this item to play with your kids (then grab it, it works fine) or whether you really expect your 2-5 year olds to play it independantly (then maybe wait) because you do need to be patient and purposeful in the moving of the car in order for it to work and register correctly. I simply put my finger on the track where my son should stop and let him push the car and we had ZERO problems during our game. Additionally, I think fresh batteries and a flat, hard surface are a factor in successful playing of this game. Just take the poor reviews with a grain of salt, we REALLY like ours and I am really glad I bought it.
