EA has released new shots of the recently announced Xbox Live version of the classic board game, Risk.
"Developed by Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers studio Stainless Games and featuring cinematics from veteran animation studio Power House Animation, RISK: Factions will offer innovative ways of experiencing the timeless turn-based board game in both objective-based and world conquest modes," says EA.
"Players will be able to engage as one of five playable factions, each with different strengths, as they wage war on new maps with dynamic terrain in their quest for missile silos in order to strategically dominate the game. Additionally, as rivals go head-to-head during unique, animated combat missions, enemies will be able to trigger 'Overkill' moments, based on the roll of the dice, and unlock avatar awards while attempting global supremacy. With a new animated art style, kooky humor and a choice of five oddball factions, RISK: Factions is sure to offer something for veteran RISK strategists and newcomers alike."
Have we got any Risk fans looking forward to this digital version?
You should never mess with a classic game like Risk, it's magic is in it's simple play system/style, making alliances with friends, and then stabbing them in the back.
Hmm, might give it a look when it comes out, could prove to be quite fun, but I'll wait for a review first. Loving the art style of the game though, very nice!
I used to love Risk as a wee lad, haven't played it for an age. Though i dont have a 360 am hoping that this does well but have to say the screen shots do like a bit garish and certainly wouldn't entice me to a buy it if i wasnt aware of its strategic appeal.
