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.

I was playing all the free downloads of various Risk games I could find and finally broke down and bought this. I was disappointed - it moved very slowly compared to some of the online games I had tried. I played a few games against the computer and then used it to play thru an online server - which took forever to set up and then kept crashing during play. Glad I didn't buy it new.

Risk II is a great game with lots of features. The great thing is you can play all the time with either a human or computer. It was a little inconvienient to get the free trials as they only have !!!60 minutes!!! THe real version was !!!$19.99!!! when I saw it after the free trial.

the program loaded just fine. the only proplem i have is the cd has to be in the computer to play the game. that i don't like. other cd's i have bought once u load the program you dont need the cd.

This is a great a game! It's almost as fun as the actual board game. The only drawbacks, especially from the original Risk computer game is that you can't save the game and finish it later, and you can't play with a neutral player like the board game and the earlier computer game could. Also, sometimes the computer just makes some really stupid moves! But then again sometimes I'd swear that the digital dice were sometimes stacked against me! Fun game!
