For example the Neurax-Worm is way too easy to beat while other things like the Bio-Weapon on Brutal is, in fact, really brutal to beat. This is a down-side because the only way to get those diseases on brutal is to follow tutorials or anything, which is simply not fun, but rather frustrating. But I assume this is gonna be a good game once they finished everything and they added the Necroa-Virus. The price is a little too high with almost 15€ for a game which used to cost below 1€ on the phone. And once you have beaten every disease on brutal or mega-brutal you can't do much and you are left with messing around, but there is no real follow up after that. I kind of like the fact that every disease has it's own playstyle, you play a virus different from a fungus and a nano-virus has to be handled different from a bacteria. It takes a while to get accustomed to the game but once you are accustomed to playing every diseases you can have a lot of fun with it!
    I like the traits you can give every mode at the start as well and I like the way you are free to decide what you want to do. Still, one thing which is almost as annoying as the brutal-playthroughs are the popups. They just annoy the crap out of you. I have deactivated the option for the non-important pop-ups but still this is so damn frustrating. Why do you have to make the pop-ups so big? There is enough space in the bottom left right over the DNA to place popups. You don't have to cover the entire screen with it.

    Still, I can recommend the game for everybody who likes 3D-Models of microorganisms and is interested in parasitic diseases, viruses and all that kind of stuff. Maybe you should wait and play the free online game Pandemic 2, which has less depth in the game, but just to check out if you really want to play some kind of game like this. And if you want to, wait until the game is finished in a few weeks.    … Full Review »

    There is something devious, challenging and difficult about destroying mankind quietly, controlled and effectively before they find their cure to eradicate you.

    However, this extensive experience on the iPhone brought me to the biggest hurdle for me.
    As much as the game is optimized for PC play, beautified with nice graphics and made into adulthood on the overall context, it is still the same old Plague Inc I had already played.

    So in my mind two distinct scenarios arise.
    If you have played this game on the iPhone and are just as curious to see how a PC port would do... Chances are relatively big that you will decide that it just wasn't enough improvement to cover your expenses. Although as I am saying this right now, I do keep in mind that since we are in early-access at the time, features (such as the alluring multiplayer) will still be added and can possibly deliver a bit extra.
    If you on the other hand never played this game before and are open to it being a true PC game instead of a living room tapping game on smartphone or tablet; than I can definitely see that buying that extra little bit of quality can make sure you'll enjoy this longer.    … Full Review »

To do so, you must morph and migrate the disease to fit within the different climates on Earth. If your disease becomes popular enough, the local governments try to cure it. When you have infected the world population, you can morph the disease to be lethal enough to kill.

    While the premise the promising, the fact is the huge difficulty complete eliminates all chance of repeatability. You could go lethal too soon, not infecting enough population and lose. You can become too lethal too soon, the governments will find out about your disease and will cure your disease before you had a chance to either infect or eradicate the world's population. Either way, you are facing the clock. Even on normal difficulty, it feels like your disease is found out too soon, and there are more chances to lose this game than win it.

    Overall, I would suggest you do not even piss away your money on this simulator. In it's beta stages, it needs some fine ironing to do, and requires significant balancing before it goes out of beta. Right now, I cannot recommend this game.    … Full Review »
