There's an option to play on an animated board instead of the flat regular one which helps to keep the players attentive and adds to the feeling to be playing a dynamic game. Unfortunately it's not possibile to mix bots and real people and I wasn't able to play with more than 1 person per console.
Playing over Xbox Live though, is a different story. You can also play alone or with friends adding 'bots' and choosing their difficulty from 'very easy', 'easy', 'normal' or 'hard options'.
In any case, you can set a game with at least 2 or up to 6 players. EDIT: Playing locally with many players, you have the option to play with 1 controller for everyone, taking turns, or having 1 controller per person. When I bought this one a couple of days ago it was on sale, so I finally could agree on a price that I thought fair for the fun that I expected and in fact ended up extracting from it. Personally, I think that the brand alone makes them often expensive. Monopoly Plus was the first Monopoly game that I got to own and play digitally.
