one thing though

Five unique factions with different strengths:

isn't true.

all factions are identical aside from look/animation

I really enjoy the board game risk, so would you think I would enjoy this too? Sounds like a stupid question, but the other risk computer games didnt really grab me that much.

Tefal · 9 Mar 2011 at 12:04

well you can always play classic risk on-line against people which is identical to the board game.

Tefal · 9 Mar 2011 at 13:04

anyone found any nuclear fallout yet?

I bought it on a whim because I quite like Risk.

Completed the singleplayer campaign which is ridiculously short but there really as a training tool I guess, not yet dipped my toe in to multiplayer.

I quite like it, simple enough with a few modern twists. Not sure it's one of those games you'll play constantly, more than likely come back to once or twice a week (for me anyway).

How? different game or the game posted by the OP has this option?

Tefal · 10 Mar 2011 at 09:52

it includes the option to just play classic risk mode.

I am slightly annoyed that two of the main features i bought the game for don't exist though :/

What are they?

Radiation and unique factions with differing strengths.

factions are all identical in all but look and there's no radiation

thought there would be a mode like risk 2210 where random countries were made impassable by radiation etc but nothing
