Risk II for Windows ~ The Mad Doc Is Not Impressed

by drdevience Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Feb 04 '06
Pros: Cheap. Easy.
Cons: Bad and uneccessary CGI sequences
I adore board games, but it isn't always easy to get someone to sit down and play with. This is when I resort to playing board games on my laptop. After a futile search for the original version of Risk, I finally relented and bought this here new & ...

Risk II - The classic board game on your PC

by phungus, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Jun 05 '02
Pros: Plays very quickly, smart AI
Cons: Overused animation and sound
I am an avid fan of the popular board game Risk, but its not always easy to get together two other people to play the game. Plus, the average game takes hours upon hours to complete, because there is so much strategy involved. There have been computer...

Not as cool as it could have been.

by t13monkeys Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Sep 07 '00
Pros: smarter AI
Cons: tedious graphics, lack of customization, hardly an improvement
Risk II could have been a lot more. It could have offered customizable maps, more adjustable rules, and different graphical themes. However Microprose does none of that, and gives you a game that is only partially fulfilling.

A number of...

In the mood for some global domination?

by curtisv632 , Jul 31 '01
Pros: Simple graphics, loads quickly, multi-player via internet
Cons: Multi-player connection has some bugs, no "hot-seat" option
If there is one board game that is one of the most well know classics available, it's Risk. As with many other people who have played the game, my friends and I would gather every once in a while to battle it out in a friendly game of global domination!...

by sunkah , Jul 29 '01

Want to take a risk?

by jbslim , Jun 21 '03
Pros: Good graphics, has a good "plot line"
Cons: Each game takes a long time (approximately 30-90 minutes, depending on the amount of players)
The world is in disorder as armies try to achieve world domination. You are the supreme commander of one of the armies and you aim to annihilate everyone else. To begin your quest for world domination, you pick territories (e.g. Eastern US, East ...

Risk-free Purchase

by blacks1 , Feb 22 '01
Pros: Faithful conversation, retaining most of what made the original board game so good.
Cons: Save options and repetition.
OLD GAME - NEW FORMAT

The first thing to point out about this game, for those who don't already know, is that it is a conversion from a classic boardgame. Having seen other classic games ported to pc format, such as Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit...

Risk

by GameAHolic , Apr 01 '00
Pros: Everything
Cons: everything
Ahhh yes, risk. One of the greatest board games ever created. Many people have played the classic board games over the years (in fact I have 4 different boards). The game is built around the idea of you assuming command of an army. In the traditional...

Look out World.

by EdSmith , Jun 29 '00
Pros: As good as the board game.
Cons: "Ultimate Risk" Direct X issues.
My friends and I used to play Risk for hours when we were in high school. Heck, it just took that long. That is one thing that even the "Fast Dice" option on the PC version can't avoid. If you want to kill two or three hours this is a great...

A lovely board to PC transition

by skyth Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Apr 10 '00
Pros: Superb AI, nice options, good game play
Cons: Useless options, might be too difficult for some
Before online multi-playing, gamers like us used to gather around a table and try to best each other in board games such as Risk. Nowadays, I find it hard to get that much entertainment while I have half-life installed on my computer, but once in a...

Not a "Risky" investment

by Motor_Head , Jul 10 '00
Pros: Game play, variety of opponents, music and effects
Cons: Dice rolls seem to favor the computer far more than chance.
I've always been a Risk fan. Perhaps because it fulfills my male aggressive tendencies without actually hurting anyone, especially my wallet. If you're a heavy strategy game fanatic look elsewhere. There is a fair amount of thinking to be done, but...

Risk, the game of champions.

by mikemamoss , Mar 31 '00
Pros: Good graphics and design, fun like the board game
Cons: unable to save unfinished games.
My wife purchased this game for me because my board game was looking rough and I had lost many of the pieces (dice, plastic armies). The set up of the game was easy and choosing which options you want is also simple. The play of the game is good as far...

Tonight, we take over the world.

by Airmark , Jul 14 '00
Pros: Good graphics, music and variety.
Cons: Still gets old after a while.
Risk II is a very addictive, if very difficult, game. The basic premise is pretty simple: world domination! Just like the classic board game, and the computer game that preceded it, Risk II puts you back in time and forces you to try to take over the...

Finally!!, Someone will play risk with me

by -Bak- , Mar 14 '00
Pros: The old game plus lots of added goodies, faster gameplay than the board game
Cons: I ran into a bug that wouldn't let me save
Risk is the classic game of taking over the world. Oh how I loved that board game. Unfortunately nobody would ever play with me, but now I have Risk for the computer. It's basically Risk plus a bunch of added bonuses. Thankfully nothing that made Risk...
