They're over-egging the pudding as well. Perfect game my arse! It's a good game, but as with most games, it gets boring after a while, even with added variants.
And Monopoly generally gets slated far more than it deserves. As well as the basic strategy and 2d6 statistics (plus the fact already pointed out that very few people play it according to the vanilla rules) there is a lot of negotiation that goes on in Monopoly. Where it falls down ultimately is when all players except the one(s) perceived as dominant come to the conclusion that they should never trade with anyone else under any circumstances.
Also, it's not always the youngest player that throws the game-ending tantrum!
