The latest Monopoly video game has arrived on Nintendo Switch – and this one's a bit different.
In Monopoly Madness, you'll be playing the game "in a way you’ve never seen before," as the iconic Monopoly board is scrapped in favour of a real-time competitive race around a 3D world. You'll need to roam the streets of Monopoly City to collect money, water and electricity, grabbing power-ups from the Community Chests along the way to mess with your opponents and gain the upper hand.
You can see it in action in the trailer above, and we also have an official description for you:
As in classic Monopoly, in Monopoly Madness, players will compete to buy and upgrade properties in Monopoly City. But Mr. Monopoly is away on his well-earned vacation and as a result, chaos reigns.
Players face up to 5 competitors in a short and frantic, real-time race on the chaotic streets of Monopoly City without the boundaries of the board. Players race to collect money and other resources around the map to buy and upgrade their properties. The more properties players own, the more points they’ll earn, bringing them closer to the finish line in the race to riches! Along the way, players grab powers ups from Community Chests including bulldozers, jackhammers and more to use against opponents to gain an advantage to win. However, players will need to watch out for random events that can happen at any time, making the journey to become the wealthiest of them all even more chaotic.
If Monopoly plus chaos sounds like your jam, you'll be pleased to know you can go ahead and download the game right now from the Switch eShop for £24.99. A physical box with a download code inside can also be found at select retailers.

Sounds like a game that isn't Monopoly but thinks that people will buy it just because it has the IP of Monopoly and its Mr Moneybags, Community Chest, etc.
Looks REAAAAAAAALY overpriced
I mean its only 25$ but still, From the look of the trailer it Doesn't look like the, err best game around but you know, Just wait and see I guess.
(Idk 15 Might have been a good price)
I was considering importing the US physical release seeing as Europe/Australia are only getting a bloody code in a case, but upon seeing the gameplay footage... ouch. It looks like one of those time attack (?) games. It doesn’t necessarily look like a bad game in and of itself; just not a good Monopoly game. And I’m not interested in the sort of gameplay on offer here.
I think I’ll pass on this one.
I have no idea with the gameplay.
Will wait for actual gameplay video.
Looks interesting to me….
As long as this game is functional, I'll be interested. Even to this day, the first Monopoly game on the Switch has unbearable input lag.
well that's something all right
I'm just waiting for The Game of Life on Switch to drop down to less than $20.
@Snatcher Just curious, are you one of those people who pre-orders the yearly rehash of FIFA or COD for $60+ every year?
@Amsterdamsters Not at all LMAO, I don't even play those games.
Why you gotta dis COD fans?
Why do they call him Mr. Monopoly?
He’s rich uncle pennybags.
If this doesn’t play like regular Monopoly, it might be good…
just watched Gameplay on YouTube and this is not my kind of game. Enjoy if it is for you
I'm just hoping there's a single player story mode that delves a bit deeper into the greater Monopoly mythos, so we can finally get origin stories for Shoe and Iron.
Could be fun. I'll need a major price drop and decent review first, and not necessarily in that order.
Need a review
The trailer didnt really do much for me,
