4.0 out of 5 stars
THE GAME OF GLOBAL DOMINATION,
By
This review is from: Risk (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)
Hasbro's PC "Risk" is a good but not great game. The sheer scale of "Risk" is a big part of its charm, and who can resist a bid to take over the world? But the battles themselves are handled a bit too simply, so that what should be exciting becomes routine after a bit. Ultimate Risk departs from the classic game in several ways, adding forts, rebels, generals, and a much more detailed and exciting battle resolution system, and is actually much superior to the classic rules. Overall, "Risk" is certainly fun and a quality production, one well worth its relatively low price tag. On the other hand, some other Hasbro computer games, like "Battleship" and especially "Stratego," are far superior.

If you like the board game risk, but don't have anybody to play against, you'll be satisfied with this game. The best part is its' low price. The parts about it that irk me are that the artificial intelligence seems weak, in the classic game you can't form alliances like you would if you were playing with people, the games can become too long and there's no mechanism for saving them, the instructions especially for the ultimate game are almost completely lacking and sometimes with the ultimate dice rules completely illogical things take place like 400 attacking armies being destroyed by 60 defending armies. The artificial intelligence demands further explanation. I've had the computer attack me when I'm absolutley no threat to it and it's not trying to take me out for my cards, while it will leave another powerful neighbor with a complete country and a border of one army go. It defies logic. Also the computer doesn't guard borders of territories. Invariably it will have all of the borders with multiple armies except for one. Again it defies logic. If you get down to three players and one is too powerful while you and the other computer player are weak the weak computer player will attack you when he gets a risk instead of both of you ganging up on the powerful computer player until everything is more even. Once again, it defies logic. I still enjoy the game and find it challenging, I just spend way too much time playing it. They need to fix the save function.
