Without online mode, but with lousy AI

The essentials in brief:
1 - The game is entertaining only with human opponents, because the strength of the computer opponent is regulated by rigged dice results.
2 - The game was visually well 1: 1 porting of the HD versions. Texts and symbols are as in normal PAL equipment (also larger LCDs) almost unreadable small.
3 - No online mode in the Wii version.
4 - The strongest selling point is the graphical implementation. However suffers clarity.

Conclusion: No buy recommendation!

To 1:
We tested the track in pairs and first played against two computer opponents. This can be adjusted into three levels of difficulty; We opted for two "easy".
During the round, an extremely implausible behavior of the AI ​​showed: An opponent had until the end of the game only three plots, but diced always of a community to the next field and had very rarely pay rent. Thus, he was filthy rich and reached without troubles Second place without ever build a house. The second opponent did not make it better. Trade with the AI ​​opponents is almost impossible because they always require astronomical amounts of money for land, and in turn only make meaningless deals (eg a "red" road in exchange for another red line).
In the middle of difficulty manipulating dice results could no longer be denied: The only AI opponents had at the end of the game, only the four stations, but had to go through "luck of the dice" virtually no money for rent or purchase to spend, while the rest of the game board complete was covered by monopolies of human players in return but were permanently broke.
Ergo: Somehow you managed to make a sometimes frustrating anyway gameplay even more frustrating by the trust in the accident completely destroyed.

At 2:
The texts and icons on the screen are optimized for HD resolutions and much too small for SD images. We tested on a wide-screen LCD with component cables in EDTV mode (one of the best possible configurations for Wii). This can be felt at the imposable overview map (to want to be seen to whom that street is one), and the on-screen player data on the screen. In this size, the colors and symbols of their own land maps are difficult to distinguish (eg magenta or waterworks station).
The overview of your status or the distribution of possessions on the board is very difficult and reduces again the game.

At 3:
From under 1 above reasons the game is bearable only with human players. Absolutely devastating is the fact that the online mode is omitted in the Wii version. When in time-critical games like Mario Kart Wii online mode works, then why not with a board game in which the transmission speed is almost does not matter?
On the other hand you have the option of displaying various smileys push of a button .. a further indication of an unthinking 1: 1 porting of (online enabled) PS3 / XBox version.

At 4:
To wrest the title but still a good thing to be noted here the appealing graphical implementation. As a board can either a classic 2D-board are selected (in various styles), or the consuming gesteltete City Monopoly City (also in a "city of monuments" version). Here you move through a complete three-dimensional designed city, where the buildings increases property value always classy therefore come (from trailer park-like wooden houses in the Badstraße to modern glass facades in the Schlossallee).
But even this (single) plus brings the fun little progress because here the overview of the game board will be severely restricted. Who the plots are on the board, you can see only in the difficult readable overview map (see point 2). Otherwise you have to drive along and look at all the plots individually manually with the camera on pitch.
One more comment about the soundscape:
The standard Spielfiguten (car, dog, etc.) each independent animations and "Proverbs" (a on "The Sims" reminiscent gibberish), but which are rather annoying after some time. The music, however, is not intrusive and just fit so as not to interfere with an endless loop in the background.

Conclusion:
If you like Monopoly or board games in general, should prefer the "analog" pick Brett out of the closet. The only major advantage of a console version, namely the online game against people, was ignored completely here.
The lack of visibility and the loveless implementation for Wii owners are entitled definitively to rest.
The title is really only recommended if you have both a very (!) Large TV screen, as well as the opportunity to play with partners in small groups without (!) Computer opponents to play.
Otherwise, this piece of plastic is not much more than another copy of the letter case of avid Monopoly collector.
