A mediocre spin-off
This game is almost exactly like your (very original and quite excellent) game that you submitted here maybe a month ago, but with a substantially uglier in-game GUI, way fewer mutation options, and more frustrating gameplay. Why, I ask you, would every region of the world begin working at breakneck speed to find a cure for some nonlethal, not very contagious new virus the second it pops up anywhere in the world? And even if they did, why would Africa remain only a few turns behind the U.S. and Europe in their research? I mean, just look at what the president of Gambia did recently, telling people he could cure them of AIDS if they would stop taking antiretroviral meds and instead rub herbal banana paste on themselves. Africa isn't exactly a continent brimming over with medical experts.
Anyway, this was disappointing, and in my view, a significant step down from your first game.
