EA Games debuts on Windows Phone 8 with Nokia's 'Monopoly Millionaire'

Published by at

Continuing their run of exclusive games on Windows Phone, Nokia and EA have announced 'Monopoly Millionaire', which is now available in the Nokia Collection section of the Windows Store. The game takes the classic of Monopoly and updates for a fast paced mobile game, with a smaller board and new moves, but keeps the essential game-play and look of the board game we all know.

From the directory listing:

  • Zoom past wannabes in the fastest Monopoly experience ever!
  • Purchase palatial Dreamland Properties like Bling Beach and Paradise Island.
  • Splurge on upgradable Movers – show friends how hot you roll!
  • Compete for the Million with friends in Pass n’ Play.
  • Test your moneymaker with 3 difficulty modes.
  • Get lucky! Fortune Cards can speed up your rise or send you back to broke.

Well known names such as Monopoly are always solid sellers in app stores, so I'm glad that EA have not simply phoned this game in. By looking at the mobile environment, and tailoring the game to make best use of it, you get a stronger title, more goodwill, and more repeat business.

One thing to point out, you will need a Lumia device with 1 GB of memory to run the application (which we're putting down to the new graphics engine EA appear to be using in this title). Grab the trial version from the Nokia Collection in the Windows Store!
