Sat, 29 Jul 2006 01:40:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author avls - I have been a fan of the game Risk for many years. In 1999 I bought the CD just mentioned, and it included the "Ultimate Risk" version which I found great. I care about the game Risk itself more than any fancy graphics. I like to play the strategy...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author drdevience - 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 &...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author phungus - 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...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author curtisv632 - If there is one board game that is one of the most well know classics available, it's Risk.

Risk II for Windows: Risk-free Purchase

Thu, 22 Feb 2001 14:44:01 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author blacks1 - 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 II for Windows: Still a great game

Wed, 7 Feb 2001 17:44:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author CindiLou - My sister gave me this game and it only took one time to get me hooked on it. There are several ways to play it. You can conquer the world or just a small piece of it. Or you can capture your opponents flag.

There are no pieces to lose or to...

Risk II for Windows: No more counting errors!

Mon, 13 Nov 2000 18:37:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ar_c - 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...

Risk II for Windows: Take the Risk and get it!

Sat, 23 Sep 2000 18:41:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ccn158 - 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...

Risk II for Windows: Not as cool as it could have been.

Thu, 7 Sep 2000 16:46:01 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author t13monkeys - 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...

Risk II for Windows: Update to a less fun version?

Sun, 30 Jul 2000 22:41:35 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author martytdx - This is going to be a short review, because there really isn't much to say about the new version of Risk for the computer.

The original version - for the Macintosh, in its beautiful monochromatic form and quick play - was a staple at my...

Risk II for Windows: Global Domination! - RISK All You’ve Got!

Sat, 15 Jul 2000 15:17:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mycashweb - “Global Domination!”

That’s what my friend, Chuck, would shout

as he clobbered my armies in Europe.

The classic board game of risk has always been a favorite among those who get a kick out of kicking someone else out of a...

Risk II for Windows: Tonight, we take over the world.

Sat, 15 Jul 2000 00:22:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Airmark - 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...

Risk II for Windows: Not a "Risky" investment

Mon, 10 Jul 2000 20:35:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Motor_Head - 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 II for Windows: Microprose Has a Hit!

Wed, 5 Jul 2000 22:33:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author IClan_Emporer - 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...

Risk II for Windows: Look out World.

Thu, 29 Jun 2000 05:07:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author EdSmith - 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...

Risk II for Windows: Riisk: Same game, new rules

Fri, 26 May 2000 14:17:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author GreenSpleen - I picked this game up on a whim. I used to play the board game with guys at school, and we no longer play anymore, so I decided to get the computer game. Now I can spend hours playing against the computer.

There are 2 types of play in this...

Risk II for Windows: Risk: Just as good on a PC

Sat, 20 May 2000 15:43:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KingJFS - Risk is without a doubt, a classic board game. Ranking right up there with Monopoly, Clue, Battleship, and Scrabble. So it was natural that eventually a PC version would be created. And this PC version is good.

The game is made exactly like...

Risk II for Windows: A lovely board to PC transition

Mon, 10 Apr 2000 22:02:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author skyth - 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...

Risk II for Windows: Risk 2 - Pretty but a bit shallow

Wed, 5 Apr 2000 17:24:48 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author delusion - I've played Risk since I was a child, often with others, and sometimes just myself playing multiple players after setting up scenarios. I hadn't touched the game in about 10 years, so when I saw Risk II on the shelf, it was irresistable.

Risk II for Windows: Risk

Sat, 1 Apr 2000 18:17:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author GameAHolic - 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...

Fri, 31 Mar 2000 12:32:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mikemamoss - 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...

Risk II for Windows: Global Domination

Fri, 17 Mar 2000 01:55:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ChaosJedi - I loved playing RISK as the board game, but I though it was just too time consuming to set everything up. So I bought this so I could be lazy and just start up a game. Only I learned that the game was far better than what I was expecting. Not only...
