The following are the different types of risk included:
1) Old fashion. On an old classic...

Pros: New Game Features, Excellent Sound and Graphics, Control Over Map
Cons: Cannot Play Specific Maps

If anything, Risk II is an improvement over the original, Classic Risk. With the addition of Same-Time Risk, games over the internet go twice as fast. The Battle Scenes, though pointless, are actually pretty nice. Yet, the game could easily be palyed...

Pros: good graphics, strategy required
Cons: very addictive

I have traumatic memories of getting beaten
VERY badly at every game of Risk I played
when I was young.. I wouldn't go near the board
game.
Then, along comes the PC version.. with its
excellent graphics, battle scenes, and...

Pros: Many hours of Entertainment, Loads of Options.
Cons: Be prepared for a Long Long game.

I remember the days when all my friends would come over to my house for a "Risk Marathon". We would play and battle all day long, and quite often into the early morning. We even invented a technique called the "sweep". That's where...

Pros: Highly addictive
Cons: Won't impress your mates!

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.
Risk 2 combines new and old elements of the classic board game to make it a superb experience.
The graphics and sound...

Pros: an excellent strategy game, good AI,all around good game
Cons: None at all

Risk is the best game ever made. If you are a risk fanatic this is the game for you. The artificial intelegence is incredible. This AI (artificial intelegence) is not like other games it actually has strategy. Another Great thing about this game is it...

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...

Pros: Good graphics, very challenging, and it never gets boring
Cons: I don't think there is anything wrong with this game

The first time I played risk the board game was with a whole bunch of friends and we spent hours and hours trying to win. After that I bought the board game and the computer game version of it. The computer one is great. The graphics were good it is as...

Pros: many play options
Cons: none

Risk has always been a great game to play, I like a game that makes you think. Only downfall to risk is so many pieces you move the table and you could end up taking over a country on accident.
Well I showed my boyfriend how to play risk and he...

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...

Pros: good graphics, easy to learn, lots of variety
Cons: none

As a teenager and college student (and on into later days), I have always enjoyed playing Risk. Risk is one of those games that is never the same when you play. Two things that always annoyed me about the board game was counting the number of countries...

Pros: Movies, Game Options, More Maps, Multiplayer
Cons: none that I can think of.....

Risk is a great board game to play with friends. But it's even better on the computer because of the more options it gives you. You can play on different maps also which give the game more variety. Also you can play a new and exciting version of Risk...

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...
