I like 2 better than 1 and EoM. EoM was kinda cool, but it was harder, what with there being like five squares ‘til completion of cure. Not as fun. I like 2 better ’cause there’re more options. The virus easily spreads from person to people, and gets a lot of evolution points… but it’s more prone to drugs and such. The bacteria is medium. Medium evolution, and medium resistances. I forgot what its bonus is. XD But then there’s the parasite (personally, it’s my favorite). It doesn’t evolve very fast, but it makes up for it with a high resistance to the environment, and low visibility. It’s also got some very deadly options, like necrosis, hemorraging, (sp?) and other fun stuff. P2 is also more challenging in a way that makes the player think. What symptoms should I buy? Which should I sell? Virus, bacteria, or parasite? What resistances should I get?
P1 is just too short and simple. Just pass a bunch of turns, spend your points… repeat repeat… but 2 has other things, like earthquakes, floods, droughts… it’s more realistic… and it’s timed. That adds a sort of sense of urgency to it, like you need to try and get the right things done within a certain amount of time. So many areas to infect! That, and the map is more correct. Europe no longer takes up half the continent, like it did in P1. XD Kongregate really needs to add achievements for this game!
