    I may not be the greatest RISK: Factions player out there but it will definitely get my vote later this year when the time to choose our favorite downloadable games of the 2010.

    It's definitely fun to play with others, as the only real issues I have with the game is that the AI difficulty is a little lame, but the campaign is still worth a run through if only to unlock the additional maps and see the new objectives put to work.

    As it stands, however, it will probably just end up disappointing Risk players old and new. In a Live Arcade packed with great games competing for your dollar, Risk: Factions just winds up being one die roll short of a win.

    Great game, but they could have put in more. They made some neat additions to the game, but hopefully they will release a few extra boards with DLC, for the classic game especially. I remember an old computer game that used more detailed areas of Germany, Asia, the Mediterranean, etc. for maps, and I hope that those types come into this version eventually. At any rate, this version of Risk is fairly versatile (play the original, 2008 rule set, or add in their quirky twists,) and the animations can be entertaining to watch. Overall, this game is worth the $10 it asks for.… Expand

    Campaign mode is too short and multiplayer is the only way to continue playing it because it would become boring playing with IA after few matches. I also think IA is too weak. 6 is the maximum vote I can give, nice game anyway… Expand
