Pros: None
Cons: Terrible game play. Slow. Bad AI
Summary: Do not buy this unless you intend to play the network games. As a single player game RISK 2 is HORRIBLE. Goto yahoo or google and look up the shareware clones. They are much better. The game play is SLOW and CLUMSY. This is RISK not a Britney Spears...

Pros: Simple graphics, loads quickly, multi-player via internet
Cons: Multi-player connection has some bugs, no "hot-seat" option
Summary: 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!...

Pros: This game is good if you want to play risk by yourself.
Cons: It's a lot more fun to just play the board game.
Summary: The game Risk by Hasbro Interactive on CD-ROM is pretty worthless. There are a few different versions of risk that are all confusing and worthless except for the original version which is the same as the board game. I played this game for about an hour...

Pros: Highly addictive
Cons: Won't impress your mates!
Summary: I've played the board version of Risk, and always wondered: what would it be like to play it on a PC. Now I know: brilliant.
