The board game comes onto the Playstation. I have a few things to explain about it,first of all..if your a fan of the board game..then you should enjoy this. Without the hassle of setting up the game..you can just pop in the game and just play. There are different kinds of Risk. Classic Risk,Captial Risk,where you set up a captial and other players also. Control all the captials and you win,or Secret Mission Risk where you would need to do a certain requirement in order to win. Like being in a territory,or controling a continent or beating a certain player. There are plenty of things to unlock,which adds a replay factor.When playing,you can play against the A.I or against other players. Which I think adds to the best feature of all,playing against other people. The voice actors,which play as the Historical Figures,like George Washington or Catherine The Great. Can get a bit old at times,but you get used to it and at times..like what they say when you are playing. There is no doubt that some won't like this game,it can take..about a half hour..to more than 2 hours to play a single game. But if you was really trying to take over the world..it wouldn't be easy either.Read full review

The whole concept of being able to play a board game I grew up on without other players was the main reason I purchased this title. Overall I love the game. The only quirks I have are the slow battle scenes at times, and the more than annoying commentary from the computer players. Usually it's the same phrase three times in a row. Besides that (which can easily be remedied in the options), this is a great game for any fan of Risk...
After many years of playing Madden, GTA's and more popular games, I found that the only game I care to play anymore is Risk Global Domination. The PS2 version makes for a quicker and more entertaining game than the old fashioned board game. What's nice is that you can change so many variables to how you want to play that it really never gets old. ENJOY!
I decided to buy Risk because growing up my brothers and I battled many a time to rule the world in Risk. Simply put, if you like the board game you will like the video game. The graphics and game play are very simple, but they get the job done. Playing against friends is always best, but even one player mode will provide a challenge if you set the AI generals to the hardest level. If you aren't expecting much in the way of graphics and battle scenes, this is the way to go to enjoy the game of Risk.
