4.0 out of 5 stars Goodness
Very addictive and fun game. Anyone who loves Risk will be happy with this.

P.S. If you have windows Vista you will probably have to change the settings to make it compatible with it. Right click the Risk2 icon in the start up bar (click the lower left button) and go to properties. Go to the "combatibility" tab and make sure the game is running in...

1.0 out of 5 stars game will not run
Be sure to download the free trial version first to check for compatibility. This game (which I loved to play on my old computer) will not run on my vista machine, even in compatibility mode for XP SP2.

Yet another example of vista sucking the big one.

Very addictive and fun game. Anyone who loves Risk will be happy with this.

P.S. If you have windows Vista you will probably have to change the settings to make it compatible with it. Right click the Risk2 icon in the start up bar (click the lower left button) and go to properties. Go to the "combatibility" tab and make sure the game is running in combatibility mode for Windows XP Service Pack 2.
Hope it helps some people out. Enjoy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Freezes Up, February 15, 2009
By Puhdhead (Northeast) - See all my reviews
Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Risk II [Game Download] (Software Download)
NO REFUNDS allowed on downloadable software so I am out $10. Played it 3 times and it froze on me in diffrent areas every time. The free demo was more fun to play. I'd purchase the game on a disc before the downloadable content.

1.0 out of 5 stars Risk 2, October 11, 2009

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Risk II [Game Download] (Software Download)
Game pitches me to the desktop quite often. Does not offer the ability to save the game as you play so sometimes hours of play is lost. Can't seem to find any reliable patches (if they even exist). Seems to me Amazon and IWIN are more interested in your seven dollars than delivering a workable game. Ya know, it's weird but there is never a glitch when it comes to charging my credit card.

THis program will not work with windows vista. I wish i tried the free trial before I wasted any time or money. If I cannot get a refund, I'll contest the credit card charge.

4.0 out of 5 stars works in XP with old codec, January 24, 2010

This review is from: Risk II [Game Download] (Software Download)
This is risk, and the animated battles are great
If you need it, you can get the old Indeo video codec for free (its freeware)
just to be clear, you don't need the new codec.

on the old codedc installer, make sure to deselect the web browser plugin because it will never find netscape navigator (haha)
