Inventive and compelling, not to be discarded lightly

User Rating: 9 | Risk PC
This game does what a pc version of risk should do--turn the game into something resembling more of actual warfare. With personified generals and battle plans to boot, this game turns this into a truer version of Napoleonic warfare and no dice. However, the visuals could certainly vary more, rather than recycling the same few sequences. It's tiring to see your men get killed, and kill, in virtually the same manner every fight. Also, the realism of the game should extend to the visuals. A correct likeness of the number of troops and cannon in each territory and battles should also be present. Although the dice factor is left out, a certain amount randomness remains; one battle plan does not always defeat a certain other battle plan. Ultimately, this version is inventive and yet more true to the actual time period. It would be great to see an updated verion released.
