The Empire Strikes Back, Superman II and Monopoly New Edition; which is the odd one out? Of course the answer is Monopoly New Edition as the others are excellent sequels. Sequels are supposed to capture the spirit of the original and develop and improve upon it. Unfortunately Monopoly New Edition is about as good a sequel as Jaws 2 in that it leaves you feeling deeply disappointed at what is a wasted opportunity.
A few years ago now, what was then Hasbro Interactive released Monopoly. The game offered a nice collection of 3D boards to play that were based on the UK, Australia, Hong Kong etc., versions. You could even design your own boards to play on. I remember this being a particularly fun aspect of the game and I would spend ages trying to make a good custom board. That version of Monopoly came out in 1999 and at the time it looked quite good. Of course you know that Infogrames acquired the rights to all of Hasbro Interactives merchandise and were obviously that happy with Monopoly, that they though they could get away with releasing virtually the same title, minus the ability to design your own boards, three years later after it’s initial release.
