Monopoly - PlayStation Portable (minis) Gameplay
Channel: The Foreseen Arcade
Date: 2023-12-26

One of EA's offerings for the PlayStation Portable and PSPGo minis line-up in 2010, Monopoly offers hot-seat multiplayer on 3D boards and it also contains unlockable boards that change the properties, board, chance and community chest cards for the specific theme. This happens to be based on the PS2 and PS3 counterparts from 2008, but the PSP version lacks minigames, the Richest Edition mode and online play. You don't even get to see Mr. Monopoly himself appear hanging out on the board. Since it a minis release, which are usually under 100MB in file size and meant to be cheaper and smaller than average PSP games on the PlayStation Store, it was pretty understandable that omissions had to be done.

*iOS and Android versions have been delisted since then due to EA's license expiring and are now replaced with Marmalade Studios' mobile adaptations.

FUN FACT: I actually own this one on my PSN account way back when I still had my white PSP-1000 model, but the trouble was that anytime the game is over, especially when I win, the game often crashed or froze on me, forcing  me to do reset my console and that made unlocking boards a major chore, since it meant the game didn't save. Hence why the footage you see here is played via PPSSPP.
