iNetMania : Monopoly Game for iPhone
Trying to bankrupt your best friends in financial social games like Monopoly was always a popular hit all times no matter as a board game or on your computer. Monopoly eventually would evolve into an iPhone game and the time has come in a not very cool looking name, iNetMania. Actually it is the digital version of another popular board game, ServerMania.
So, what are the rules? You own a fictional website and try to make money online by attracting more visitors than your rival. Squares are full of server costs, marketing related items, advertising income etc. Your destiny mostly is determined by landing squares. Like Monopoly, they can be positive or negative according to your rolling die luck. This high quality and fun iPhone game can be played by up to 4 people, humans like you or computer. Graphics, animations and playability is top level. I just didn't enjoy the sounds much. It could be better for sure.
Overall, if you enjoyed Monopoly like games before, iNetMania is your new baby for iPhone (and iPod Touch surely)
