Even the windswept balding husband selling such classics as Hungry Hippos, Mike Reid's Pop Quiz and Mastermind- at 50p each - will shrug at the mention of Risk. He could have charged at least a pound. On PC, Risk has never been in quite the same league as its board game counterpart. In this day and age of real-time strategy and Internet gaming, the humble 'game of world domination' has been fighting a losing battle and nowhere better was this highlighted than with Hasbro's previous PC rendition of Risk, where, along with the vanilla version, was something called 'Ultimate Risk' - which although fun, just wasn't Risk 2on the other hand is more like it.
As well as your 'Classic' Risk where the computer and human players take it in turns to take over the world, there is a new mode called 'Same Time Risk'. Developed primarily for the impatient multiplayer, the 'Same Time' game is something of a minor masterpiece and, although it changes a few rules and requires a slightly different way of thinking, it still feels remarkably familiar.
How it works is, all players plan their attacks simultaneously. Then, once done, the computer resolves each conflict in turn; armies going for each other's territories fight first, followed by invasions on more than one front etc, etc. A third type of game on offer for those who prefer playing on their own is the Tournament game.
Offering a set of 16 scenarios based on both sets of rules some taking advantage of extra countries and new rule variations , it allows players to take on each of the 16 computer-controlled generals, with each general displaying a range of traits that can adjust to your style of play over time. Where perhaps Risk 2 is a little disappointing is that it is actually quite tricky to tell the AI players apart, but as a whole the AI is very good once you've had a chance to test each general out.
Elsewhere the interface is a breeze and the graphics manage to be both attractive and functional. The way the camera sweeps in to show the battle sequences soon becomes repetitive, but thankfully it can be switched off. Best of all, however, is that for once, someone - in this case developer Deep Red - has recreated a classic board game successfully to PC and done it well. Risk 2 manages to be both true to its roots and innovative at the same time.

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. The system used to negotiate these deals with the computer players is called I-Com Iconic Communication , which provides a way for you to communicate with the 'AI Generals.
