This time I would like to compare 3 version of the well-known game Monopoly. The main focus is to understand how the core gameplay element is transfer and how the shell is built by comparing two PC version of different producer – the Star Wars Monopoly by Hasbro (the same company of the board version) and the Doraemon Monopoly by Gameone (HongKong programmers!), which I see as a more successful adaptation of the gameplay. (only the first 5 minutes would be enough) This post begins in the description of the two games, concluded by analytical comparison. With your token (avatar) you try to win over your opponents by purchasing lands, building apartment and hotels and receiving rent. The winner is the only one who didn’t get bankrupt (most cases it never happened as it takes a long time, so the player who make the most money wins).

There are luck elements such as Chance, Community Chest and Jail in the game. A typical turn begins with the rolling of the dice and move around the board with the corresponding number of squares. Social value – Both digital version opens the options for multi-players or against AI, while in Star Wars version you could even play on the Internet through portals such as MSN Game Zone. Star Wars version is basically modifying only the shell but not much the gameplay itself. It utilizes features available only through digital game : the Monopoly strategies combined with music, sounds, characters and scenes of the Star Wars movies. The version stay with the Star Wars galaxy from the Classic trilogy. Although the property colors, values and property cards are the same as classic Monopoly, the places are changed to Star Wars setting like Death Star, Tatooine and Cloud City, and the correspondent film clip would pop up when a player lands on the property. The currency also changes from dollars to Galactic Credits.

The house and hotels are also converted to X-wings/TIE Fighters and Millennum Falcon/Star Destroyer. Yet, Jail, Free Parking and Go to Jail spaces are exactly the same as on board game, which is very awkward to see in the game. And of course you choose not your token but your Star Wars avatar – Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker with C-3PO as the banker (He makes very funny comments on ever move). The character are voiced by the same character in the movie, and the background music is of course the famous Star War OSTs. All graphics are 3D as to resemble the movie-like experience while playing. The characters react like the way they would be in the movie.
