great stratagy game
123bilal- Pros
- this game really makes you think
- Cons
- none
- Summary
Felt like being ripped off.
Supremax- Pros
- Game is awesome as Risk like game goes. Very addictive.
- Cons
- Problem is it's addiction, the game being 25$ US to buy, you don't get a book or a CD at that price? And this is a very small program not worth it. On top of that the 20 games trial is seriously overrated. <p> <p>Suggestion to the company, bring down the price by 10$ and have a 30 days trial version. I still like the game, but felt being ripped off. Don't try it.
- Summary
Excellent Risk Clone
Timecop- Pros
- Multiple maps and the ability to generate random maps breaths new life into an old, classic game. The length of the demo is quite adequate to let you get a feel for what you will be buying. I recommend this product to anyone who enjoys Risk.
- Cons
- Without being familiar with the maps, it is sometimes hard to tell what territories can attack one of your own territories. Having 'Fortify' type arrows appear on hover would be an improvement.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(curse Download.com for their lack of a carriage return)--------------------------------------------------------- <p> <p> <p>Had a random map generate a territory that was so tiny it was invisible. After enduring multiple forays from this territory I got an idea of where it was and was able to find the small cluster of pixels it occupied. It was smaller than the boader line between 2 territories. The minimum territory size in the random generator should probably be looked at. Note, this only happened once. I also found the England map to be difficult to click on many occasions.
