All in all it's worth the price. And I am glad I paid only about half as much for Risk II when compared to Risk when first released three years ago. Risk II is nothing special, but it's good enough for die hard players wanting to kill a lot of time. Just like the board game with options to have cross-ocean links on only one map. This is the only drawback to Risk II, when compared to the number of continental map options available to Risk.
Sound effects work very well with the progression of the game.
Graphics represent a limited sampling of the advances made in three years and incorporated into the game. Any, this suggests great graphics later on, but it's a false hope. You get miniaturized soldiers blasted each other from adjacent territories. Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, finale. Real groovy, dude.
