Content: Not a bad version of Risk. But for true strategy I'd suggest one of the other variations of classic Risk.
Summary: Transformers Risk
Rating - 5 Date: 2008-10-14
Content: This version of Risk is more complicated to play, so it is great for older kids. The pieces are really cool. I recommend it
Summary: Fun game
Rating - 3 Date: 2008-09-15
Content: So for fans of the original game, this version has some changes. The board is different of course, but there are a few other rules.
There are only 4 players instead of up to 6.
Each player gets a "leader" piece that can transform and have different special abilities for if it is in vehicle or person form.
There are "moving" locations that provide other special things during the game.
The game takes place over 6 "days" or rounds instead of until the death.
You get to pick your locations at the beginning instead of the randomization of the cards.
There are cards that give you special abilities instead of saving them to trade in for extra armies.
Now, the changes are kind of fun and can be entertaining, but overall, the novelty wears off and leaves wanting to play the original Risk instead. If you are a Risk fan and you can get it for cheap, give it a shot, but if you have never played Risk before, this is just a dumbed down version that is not nearly as fun or exciting, but it can still be somewhat entertaining.
This could be useful for getting some younger kids into the game. They might find it more fun.
To sum up, if it is cheap and you love Risk, go for it, but I would not spend more than 10 bucks max for this.
Summary: It is alright, but not quite the same..

Content: All I can say is that its unbelievably cool and fun. This was our first time playing Risk (we played over four games back to back) and it was very enjoyable. I'd say it was a combo of Chess and monopoly. Tons of strategy and fun gameplay.
I certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone who doesn't like strategy or who doesn't want to spend hours playing a game.
Summary: Just played a Four hour game last night with my Son.

Content: My children all love to play Risk. We have many versions, and they were excited to get the Transformers edition. Risk involves a lot of strategy. It can take several hours to play, so beware of that. It is not a quick, 10 minute game! Any game like Risk, Chess, Stratego, Rummikub--I think they are great for math skills, for exercising the part of the brain that uses analysis, etc. I'd much prefer this over electronic game playing all day.
Summary: Excellent game.
