The new game, Monopoly Streets, will allow you to create your own avatars and roll like a Monopoly tycoon. Just like in the popular board game, you can develop property at low-value distrcts, as well as put up high-end facilities in fancy streets. For the Wii and Xbox 360 versions, you can play as your Miis and Xbox Live avatars.

 

EA is also planning to add downloadable content for the game, such as themed boards, characters, tokens and avatar gear.

 

“We’re taking Hasbro’s No. 1 family game brand and masterfully striking the balance of offering the classic Monopoly play experience and adding a spectacular new visual treatment as we bring the classic board to life with players walking the streets of Monopoly,” said Chip Lange, General Manager and Senior Vice President of EA’s Hasbro Division.

 

For this, EA is targeting an Autumn 2010 release.
