Pros: Risk, the original war game for your PC. Personally I think this game is a lot of fun. You can play single player or with friends. The fight scenes show little men and cannons shooting at each other. Also there is online functionality.
The single player is a my favorite aspect of the game and is so much more then the board game. You can play World Domination and in classic Risk fashion conquer the whole world. World Domination can also be set to win at 24, 50, or 75%. Equally entertaining is Mission Risk. In this mode your given a task which you must complete to win the game. The task can be anything from world domination to the holding of a single territory for a certain amount of turns.
Instead of playing the computer you can play against up to 7 friends.This while usually making the game more difficult also turn computer gaming into a social activity. You can play any either game mode and can play against one another or on teams. I have not personally tried the online aspect so I can not comment on it. This game is not for everyone, but if you enjoy Risk you'll enjoy it even more on the computer.
Cons: The rolling seems a little unfair, almost as if it were based on momentum. Sometimes your 5 units will defeat a 15 man blockade. Other times 30 units can't deal with a small 4 man barrier. It is really unusual.
Other then that I think the game is perfect. Like I said though not for everyone, only buy it if you enjoy Risk.
