Google Maps' Giant Game of Monopoly Begins Tomorrow

[sTr]

Google and Hasbro are launching a worldwide game of Monopoly using Google Maps as the board. It's called Monopoly City Streets.

Each player starts with $3 million. They can buy any street in the world to erect houses, stadiums and even skyscapers allowing them to collect more and more daily rent (ranging from $50,000 to $100 million per property). The goal? "Play to beat your friends and the world to become the richest property magnate in existence."

Streets will vary in cost, of course, with the White House's Pennsylvania Ave. listed at $2 million, while Downing Street (London's home to the senior British cabinet) goes for just $231,000. (America, fuck yeah.)

Get on top those orange and reds, son

[sTr]

!'m gonna hit it up when !'m at home.... tomorrow at least

[Grimlin]

Too many people playing...I can't even get into the site.

[Ms Felony]

Word, they shouldve forseen this and got their stuff sorted before the launch, they FAIL big time.

[Grimlin]

They fucked up,the servers are still down...lol

[Ms Felony]

bought 3 streets already but its slow as hell

[sTr]

! might try this in a bit, hopefully it's a bit let kinked, or at least a bit more kinky...

[Ms Felony]

all of the good streets are gone

[sTr]

oh, ! see.. it was just one big game... that's kinda the balls

[Ms Felony]

word, its not that good, by some streets, then add some property to get money and buy more streets and property

[sTr]

just bought my street and bought a house where ! live, ! feel special now...

[Ms Felony]

Feel special when they reset the game....ooops, they already did.

Can't say it suprised me, major cheating going on in game, I saw one person that had 600,000,000 and in one hour accumulate 1800,000,000.
And the fact that when you got a bonus to stop people putting hazards on your street, they were allowed to take out the bonus and guess what, put a hazard on your street so you earn nothing while its there.

So no real point to the bonus buildings then, basically another fucked up game....

[N-Do]

So how is the overall gameplay (besides the slowness)... will it be worth playing in your guys' opinion when it starts back up?

[sTr]

not slow for me, pretty much you buy streets and add property to it, nit sure how the shit works because ! haven't logged in since ! set it up the first day, not quite sure how you get cash back...

[Grimlin]

agagaga...they deleted and are restarting the whole thing over.Sucks to be those guys who already had everything building up. I had nothing....damn thing wouldn't even work for me.

[Ms Felony]

sTr, you get rent on the streets you buy, when you add propery to your streets the rent increases

and hopefully they will iron out the stupid bonus building bug.

hot dog...
