Play Online Risk: The Top Sites
9.1
Packed with features and supported by an active and growing online community with excellent developer support.
8.2
Outstanding quality of map design lifts this site close to the top. A good feature set but sluggish to use and starting to lack for developer attention.
7.8
A relatively new online Risk site bringing some fresh ideas to the table but lacking critical mass at this stage.
7.3
Some innovative touches but limited map availability lets it down. A highlight is the built in AI which allows single player mode.
6.8
Good sized online community and map selection lift this site towards the top but it is let down by over-commercialisation and poor technical aspects.
4.4
A slightly bizarre online site which seems to offer more of a cult experience than a Risk game playing environment.
4.1
Some interesting extras but single map availability seriously limits appeal of the site.
