Risk II

Suprisingly entertaining!

User Rating: 7.5 | Risk II PC

I bought this game for a very bargain-bin price, and I shure was suprised how good it was. This game is, of course, adapted from a board game, so it is not extremely deep. But the AI is chalanging, and I will admit it is actualy pretty adicting.
The best part of the game for me is when you kill an oponent's last teritory, you get *ALL* his cards, so it makes for some interesting situations where you abandon all your defences to kill the one last weaklings country so you can get 60 men for two turns straight. The tournament is also very good, where every game gets tougher as you go. (If you lose you do go all the way to square one, but if you copy the program files you can revert to the state you were at before you lost)

This game is a pretty adicting fun game that everyone should try.
