How far will you go?

Risk II. The Classic Game of World Domination. It is the time of empires and armies, of countries and conquests. The world is at war and you are in command of an army fighting for global domination. Organize your forces in a ruthless campaign to crush your enemies and take their territories in this fast-paced game of strategy, negotiation and luck. See the classic game come to life with more ways to play, advanced map options, superior graphics and animated battles. As iSupreme Commanderi itis up to you to deploy your troops, attack your enemies - even betray your allies in an all-out effort to take over the world!
