Risk II

"This is a terrific example of a gamer's game. The interface is slick, the graphics are pleasing, and the game is challenging. Who could ask for anything more? Deep Red Games has perfectly ported our childhood dream game. It is at once familiar, yet enticingly different. We can only hope to see more of the same from this particular Microprose/Deep Red team."

"So what's the final verdict? Well, if you're a dyed-in-the-wool Risk enthusiast like me, you should start making space in your gaming library for this awesome addition. However, that shouldn't be a problem as soon as you toss the original adaptation somewhere in the attic."

"Risk II is more a remake than a sequel. The core of the game remains the same despite the addition of some new features. Gameplay is slightly more limited in Risk II, as compared to the original title, since the Ultimate Risk style has been removed. If you're in the market for a classic board game, Risk II is certainly worth a look and even if you own the original 1996 version, there are enough innovations and options to declare Risk II the ultimate computer based Risk game."

"Risk II is a solid game for anyone who enjoys playing the board game and likes to have a shot at greatness at times when there is no one around to play with. The SameTime mode is an excellent and intriguing new way of playing the game and offers a true challenge where the Classic mode is probably a bit on the easy side for experienced players."

"The ingame graphics are great, no 3D polygons for you to stare at here, everything is lovely and rendered, which means crisp graphics are in the order of the day, nothing is ever blocky and it makes the game look really nice. "
