Summary: I am addicted!
Review: Anyone familiar with the old "Stratego" board game will be familiar with this one, as it's the exact same game. I enjoy playing the computer, although I almost always win. Still, it's a challenge, and a fun one, to track down the enemy's flag. I wish they had a difficuly setting, as I could really use a tougher opponent, but I still say it's a fun game and well-worth playing if you've got an hour to kill.

Summary: hasbro is a cop-out
Review: Hasbro's PC version of Stratego is a winner. The graphics are neat, the rules simple to learn but hard to master, and the game itself is endlessly fun. In addition to the classic game rules, there are several variant games, each of which has its own flavor. Ultimate Lightning, for instance, offers a faster and perhaps more thrilling game, while Alliance Campaign allows multiple players to team up and destory each other on an epic scale. The animated battles are a cool touch as well, replete with flashing swords, booming guns and exploding bombs. The duel to the death when two Marshal's meet is particularly fun. Stratego is a near-perfect PC game, and terrific entertainment for any would-be warlord.

Summary: Alright
Review: I love the board game and this PC version is just...alright. Nothing spectacular or too great, and the graphics/sound are way outdated. Buy if you like the board game or for your kids. Slightly recommended.

Review: I loved this game in Windows 98 but now that I have XP it doesn't work. I have looked everywhere and have found nothing to fix this. I even ran the program compatibility on XP and it didn't help. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Summary: Good graphics and interactive play, terrible computer logic
Review: I used to love playing Stratego in my family room with my brother. Now that it came out on CD, it makes it a lot easier to play and to enjoy. I strongly recommend this game.

Summary: Good graphics and interactive play, terrible computer logic
Review: The graphics, layout, user friendliness of setting up a board is great, but 1 on 1 with the computer is not very challenging at all. The computer makes very dumb mistakes even on Agressive mode and I find myself trapping or sacrificing my own players just to make it challenging.The interactive version is fun (you can play with people on zone.msn.com) and more challenging (obviously depending on your opponent). Not many people play at the MSN game zone, though and the chat capability is quite poor.

Summary: Disappointed-the board game is better
Review: This computer version claims to be just like the board game. It is not. I dont mind the non-board game add-ons and campaign scenarios, but the ORIGINAL game should be preserved somewhere as an option. The nomenclature is all wrong! The Marshal's rank is 1, not 10. The General's rank is 2, not 9, ad infinitum. The Scout SHOULD NOT be allowed to move and strike in the same turn. The winning piece SHOULD occupy the space vacated by the loosing piece after battle, regardless if it was the attacker or defender. These are the RULES! Over the years people make up optional rules to popular games. I'm sure you've played Monopoly at one time or another and agreed to place tax money in the middle of the board, and whomever lands on FREE PARKING wins the money. Again, thats O.K. if you want to, but it doesn't fly in tournament play. The toy soldier appearance of the pieces is hard to get used to as well. I know the object is always to advance the graphics as much as possible to make it more interesting, but the angle of view and similarities between pieces makes it difficult to tell the difference. Finally the game AI could possess increasing levels of difficulty. I've played this game for years and the computer is hardly a challange. For a purist like me this game leaves you wanting.
