Nice game
This is a good game, I like it a bit more than the first pandemic, but you should have kept the ability to evolve your virus like in the first one. Also, it is based FAR too much on dumb luck.
Reviews for "Pandemic: EoM"
sorta alright
kinda alright but not much besides hoping you manage to actually infect a country after the umpteenth time. Should be a little easier to infect countries and move around.
bad spin-off
Pandemic was good, addictive, fun, and creeped me the hell out but this, damn! this really sucked! i also liked the other music better.
well.....
fist i saw a new pandemic game i was like "sweet a new addicting game to play for days on end" but then i was disapointed this game is baced on pure luck and is way to hard the fist one was great but this one is horable
Great Game Slightly Random
Graphics: Simple interface, but whats there was done really well. There could have been a little more detail or animations but the current graphics are fine
Style: Havent played anything similiar to this so I had to give you a 10 for your style and originality
Violence: Theres no direct violence, but the implied violence works. Like I said earlier, maybe if there were a few animations (ie: maybe for certain milestones such as %50 of the population dead) that would have helped for the visual side of violence. But than again, after multiple replays, it might have gotten reptetive. So its a double edged sword
Interactivity: You kind of "dumbed" down the options for the virus so theres a little less interactivity on that side of things, but at the same time you created more options for infecting countries. This game would be really deep if somehow you combined the options of the first Pandemic with the new features of the current game. I guess it would be a little complicated but if you worked it out, it would give the user a lot more control over the game
Overall: Overall it was a great game. Since theres no other games in this genre to judge it against besides the first one, I feel that you have set the bar pretty high. The only MAJOR gripe I have with this game is its randomness. Now im not saying randomness is a bad thing, but its a little overboard in this version. For example, I found it useless to infect the water supply because at one point I used about 16 points trying to infect it when It would only take 4 points to infect the entire population normally at other times. WHen i tried going through the game infecting the water supplies, countries eventually found cures. But just now when I decided not to use it at all, I beat the game fairly quickly. As others have said, it seemed like the upgrades didnt do much. When my lethality was at 1, i was killing off about 5-6 percent each turn. But when i upgraded to about 7-8 It was only about 1 percent each turn. It made no sense.
I still enjoyed the game a lot and it has a lot of replayability, but the randomness is kind of a killer. No pun intended
GREAT ORIGINAL GAME THOUGH

Thanks a lot for the review ! I hope to be addressing the randomness issue a lot of people are having with a newer version of the game.
