ouch
wowzers.
that was 10000x tougher. i still cant manage to infect more than two countries before someone gets the immunity...................boo :*(
i think its a bit too tough though. its not really that fun...
i think im going to go play the original.
The more people you infect, the easier it is to spread the virus and infect airports etc. Also dont forget to upgrade your virus :P
Love the concept, execution was a tad lacking...
Very fresh interesting game. Although it was based way too much on luck, and not enough on strategy. Still, i liked how Greenland and Australia could only be reached by airport, and the music was a very nice touch. More virus options would have made this game sublime.
Its ok, but too hard
I didnt really get into this game as I got into the last one. It's good, but a wee bit too hard at the start, and not enough to captivate you. Nice try though.
OK, but a few points...
People have slagged this off for being hard and they are right it is hard, but name the last time a virus spread throughout the entire modernised world and killed everyone? Exactly ;p
I miss the more in depth upgrades from the original, I thought that added to the kind of atmosphere of the game, made it seem more serious.
I also miss the fact that the virus had a detecability rating. If your virus turned everyone to mush they saw it and shut down public transport. Makes sense.
The one thing I can say about the point system is you don't get enough points for infecting people/you shouldnt share points between upgrades and actions. It does make it a little too hard.
Other then that the graphics were good, its a lot more pleasing to the eye then before. The fact that seperate areas can cure themselves is a nice touch too.
Oh and for everyone struggling with this game, think like a virus. What type of virus is most likley to kill mankind? A fast spreading one.
Use your initial points to upgrade your infectivity, then fully infect the country you are in, then you'll find yourself with about 10 points, once you do, infect the country next to you, do the same. Keep doing that and the world will soon be full infected.
When it is take points off infectivity and slam them into lethality.
Enjoy!
didn't stand out...
this game had some features that would've made pandemic better, and pandemic had options that would've made this game better. what i missed was the option to choose the symptoms , vomiting, coughing, etc... also, the day limit was (in my opinion) better than the cure researched (1/5...) because you knew the time limit and could've taken that in mind with the choices you would make, although it's not bad, the original (in my opinion) was better, but don't let this discourage you to make more games!!!
it's a good game, but pandemic has put the bar very high, and pandemic: EoM didn't quite cut it. good game, but didn't hold up to the pandemic rep.
