military and historical

I thought the game was very realistic as in it is very close to the board game. the lines the characters say get old fast but other than that it is a very good and realistic game.

Ok the main advantage of playing a media version of Risk is that it would hopefully speed up play - not this game! If you take on 5 computer opponents it goes extremely slow! I really don't care to see little animated shows for every battle. One version of a computer game of Risk I played had a "do or die" mode where the dice kept rolling until you took over the country or were down to 1 army - this would help. You can't view the entire map at any time - like when your deciding how many armies to move to a new country, you should be able to look around the entire map. My biggest complaint has to do with the color. I'm color blind so I need to see very contrasting colors to tell them apart. First of all, the only way to tell a country's owner is a dime-sized color. There are only six colors to choose from so if you're playing against 5 opp - you're SOL. I could never figure out which countries I needed to get an entire oppent. At the very least, when you have selected a country it should tell you the name and the owner. I agree with prior comments too about cards - they play an important part of this game. Not being able to turn them in until you have 5 or see them really sucks. I also like the standard card option - 4 infantry, 6 cannons, 8 calvary and 10 for mixed set - this doesn't have it. I STRONGLY suggest you rent this before blowing $20 (at Best Buy) for this game.

First of all this game blows nuts and its not fun second who finds entertament by watching gay little soldiers kill each other. bottom line this game sucks
