About this product

Product Information

Developer Deep Red has crafted a sequel to the classic Risk game that adds many enhancements to the original. Along with multiple viewing options, a global 3D tactical overview, cinematic battle sequences, challenging AI, a variety of multi-player options and much more, Risk II offers players the chance to play the classic Risk boardgame in an electronic format with new twists. The world is at war, and you are in command of enough armies to begin your quest to conquer the globe. You will need to organize your forces and survive the conflict through strategy, cunning, ruthless decision-making, alliances, betrayals and luck. Risk II two basic gameplay options for this Napoleonic war gaming -- Classic Risk and Same Time Risk. In Classic Risk, you have access to all the features and elements of the original board game plus a few new ones. You can play the game as single-player versus computer opponents (Tournament mode), as a Hot-Seat game for up to eight players on one computer (in turn-based or Same Time modes), over a LAN or on the Internet through the MSN Gaming Zone. You can win at Classic Risk in three different ways: dominate a percentage of the world by conquering territories (60, 80 or 100 percent), capture enemy capitals or complete a secret mission. With Same Time Risk you are freed from turn-based gameplay as all players can carry out actions at the same time. This mode utilizes a modified battle system that allows up to seven armies to simultaneously attack a single territory. A new dice mechanism has also been added that allows for a larger variety of outcomes. Players can now use a 12-sided dice instead of the standard six-sided. The global map is divided into six continents and 42 territories (48 if you choose to turn on the new additions). You must simultaneously defend your lands while creating a strategy to destroy your adversaries. Territories are initially allocated by one of three ways, Random Allocation, Territory Grab or Election. Random Allocation divides the territories up as equally as possible between all players at the start of the game; Territory Grab allows players to choose territories in turn until all are owned; and the most complex method, Election, gives payers the chance to vie for power and control of the 48 territories by using Election Points to influence the balance of power in as of yet uncommitted territories. Risk II also offers 16 different computer opponents who you can pit your wits against -- each with a unique character profile, personality and strategies. These 'AI Generals' include Campbell, Mackenzie, Wellington, Bonaparte, Marmont, Barbacena, D'Erlon, Maransin, Solignac, Sherbrooke, Aubert and others. The game's single-player Tournament mode offers you a series of 16 progressively tougher scenarios, all designed by die-hard Risk players. As you make your way through the challenges, more options will be available, such as Same Time and secret missions. Adjustable game preferences include various sound effects, music, video, controls and tutorials. Video preferences allows you the option to view the battles on a 3D landscape, as well as territorial zooms and Map Zooming. Risk II's three different game objectives are playable in both Classic and Same Time modes. World Domination is the longest and most classic objective (conquer 60, 80 or 100% of the world to be victorious), Mission Risk is an object-based version of the game and Capital Risk gives each player a capital city to defend. As with the classic game of Risk, Risk II players collect battle cards that can help them gather more troops as the game progresses or as they conquer territories. These cards can be traded to other players during the reinforcement phase of each game turn. Speaking of phases, each game turn has four distinct phases, Diplomacy, Reinforcement, Battles and Tactical Moves. In the Diplomacy phase you can strike alliances with other players

WHAT THE HECK!!! This was shipped like a drug-filled Faberge egg! It was shockingly fast and wrapped again and again and again in two kinds of protective insulation. It could’ve fallen from the plane and there wouldn’t be a dent. This is one of the most… Actually THE most exceptional seller I have ever experienced on any platform. I hope to God I find more items to buy from this seller because they’re an incredible asset to Ebay. Thank you for going above and beyond,you’re absolutely amazing!

Risk II CD
This game still works well for one that was made for Windows 95. It gives you the experience of the original board game and has plenty of options for different styles of play.

The blind mode option means that you can only actually see friendly and enemy armies directly next to yours.

This adds a great dimension to risk type games and it's missing from the Microprose Risk2 version. The dominategame.com version also allows you to set how much time each player has to make a turn. Playing online against random people - it makes for quicker more interesting games to limit players to have 30-60 seconds to make their moves. This is also missing from the Microprose version. http://www.conquerclub.com/ is another free version of risk that is completely browser based and uses drop down menus and buttons to make attacks & fortifications. You are allowed 24 hours between each turn to make your next turn which makes it good if you don't have a lot of spare time to invest. A unique feature in conquer club is setting up tournaments (only paying members can though). Various fortification/team/game type rules can be specified before the game starts as well. A lot of these abilities are missing from the Microprose version. -=PROS=- Same-Time Risk is a unique way of playing risk that alters the order/way players take their turns and the way the point system is distributed. All players make their moves at the same time and after the players moves are completed - the game reveals where everyone attacked and generates the results of the attacks. Players get more men for a larger "connected empire" - which means a body of countries connected on to each other in at least 1 spot. It's a neat variation of the classic game - one that no other risk games I've played has to offer. Hot-Seat Style Risk allows multiplayer action just like if it were a board game. All players physically at your computer take turns using a single player. Something that none of the online versions offer (and actually forbid) because they rank players and track cheaters by ip addresses. (dominategame.com allows non-rated games if players wish to play from the same host/ip address) The other benefit is you only pay once to own it. While the versions I enjoy above are free to use - they do have some limitations and require a $25/yr subscription to remove banner ads/etc. This version can be purchased to own for much cheaper and you own a license for life - not just one year. -=Conclusion=- Those are the main features that differ between this game and some of the other variations out there. Like all risk games it is very good. This version and it's a definate worthwhile asset for any Risk Fan's collection and the hotseat and same-time features make it unique. I'd actually rate it with the word "excellent" but I wouldn't say it's 5/5 since that would indicate there's no room for improvement. There are missing features which are available in other risk games and that is why I mentioned the features above that are missing. Hopefully Microprose makes a Risk3 and adds those features in!

Excellent upgrade
I have played the original risk for some time now and I really like the new edition. I do hope Hasbro and company come up with an even newer edition though. In this edition you can have more AI charicters to play against and can find other human players on a local network. Apparently there used to be an online feature that is no more, but can be fanagled using online vertual local networks still. My only complaint is that the game is quite a bit slower than the first version and there is no description of the strength and weakness of each AI charicter as the first risk gave. The new graphics are fun and the statistics given after the game are helpful. If Hasbro and company come up with a risk 3, I recomend easier online linking to other players, perhaps even a saved game option so ...

I also recomend personalizing AI charicters so playes can build their own opponents. Finally faster play is a must. All in all, I recomend this game, it is very fun!

Fast version of a marathon board game - Risk 2
One of my favorite board games growing up. Some of the animations get to be a bit tedious - particularly the phase transition screens. BUT - I have to emphasize this is still lightspeed play compared to the board game. I've played four games against the computer since I got it, and don't think that play against the virtual opponents is all that challenging. Cool features include turn-by-turn statistic screens, which show things like how many territories each player controls, how many attacks were made, etc. And alternate map and globe views that you can select. Some features take a bit of getting used to - I got stuck in a loop at one point when I had too many Risk cards and couldn't seem to make a playable combo. I still don't know what I did to get back to normal play... It's a fun spin ... One of my favorite board games growing up.

Risk II improves just a little
Risk (by Hasbro) is a good game. Problem was it was to simple. Risk II changed it but just a little. With several modes to play, it is more exciting and with more variety and outcome. However, it changed the "defender advantage" to "attacker advantage," which means that attackers win when there is a tie when rolling the die/dice. It makes it more difficult to defend and therefore the whole strategy must change. I would say, it is more aggressive than the old one, but less strategic. Now dumber people can win the game too if they are lucky. In previous version, it was almost impossible.Risk (by Hasbro) is a good game. Problem was it was to simple.
