This game is a fun way for kids to learn strategy, basic math and geography. My boys are 10 and 5 yrs old and they love it. It has simulated combat, but there is no blood and only abstract violence.

Bought this for my son who is 16. It is one of three we purchased. Games arrived promptly, in great condition. He loved the board game, so we decided to try it. Success!

Played & lost my 1st game of Risk II. Got my #*@ stomped; the AI is formidable (& that's against the 'easy' generals). All in all a lot of fun, even if the game is years old. The graphics are good for the time; they don't need to be spectacular in a strategy game anyway.

If you are only into shoot 'em up, splash-tastic games, go buy a new one. For pure, challenging strategy, this is a good investment. Well worth the money spent.

This game allows you to play Classic Risk, just like the original board game; or you can choose from many in-game options that offer hours of fun. These include turn-based or 'same time' play. You can play against the PC, other players in the 'hot seat' on the same PC, or against players via LAN or internet. I look forward to trying it on the internet myself.

Shop around, find one with a manual (it's worth it), and you should be able to find it for as little as $[...]. You'll be glad you did.
