Another way to beat Pandemic 2: 1) Pick Parasite. 2) Start anywhere, seriously. 3) Sell all symptoms. 4) Buy 1-1-1-0. Resistances. 5) While waiting for all countries to have infected in them, slowly upgrade all resistances, but drugs, to level 3. 5) Once all countries have infected, buy drug resistances (preferably to level 4), buy airborne and waterborne transmissions, and buy whatever you want for symptoms. I've used this method all the time, and usually decimated the human race. It was always either Japan or Peru that got me, not Madagascar.
HOW TO BEAT PANDEMIC 2: 1) Pick Virus. 2) Start in Canada, New Zealand, Cuba, Greenland, or Madagascar. If you do not get there restart. 3) Sell the starting symptoms, if any, and buy sneezing (unless it is what you started with, just keep it). 4) Buy 1-1-1-0 resistances but no transmissions (they trigger closures). 5) Once four countries are infected, sell sneezing to get rid of visibility. 6) Wait until all countries are infected. If Madagascar closes its shipyards/borders or is not infected in 30 days, restart. 7) Buy all four drug resistances AND sneezing, coughing, and vomiting. 8) After a few days, unlock tiers 2-3, (do not buy tier 4 ever!) keeping whatever symptoms it gives you. 9) Buy fever, fatigue, diarrhea, pulmonary edema, and hypersensitivity. Then save for kidney failure and ataxia. 10) Keep this comment alive
Quinn's Review: I keep changing my mind abut The Last Stand 2. Sometimes I think it's terrible, and sometimes I think it's brilliant fun. It all hinges upon how lucky I've been. Picking up survivors early on makes your progress through this game much, much easier and much more fun. You can arm survivors, and they're pretty good at shooting zombies, leaving you to defend the barricades with your trusty chainsaw. Much fun to be had, leaving you plenty of time to gather supplies. The idea here is good - but sometimes, if you get a bad run of weapons or survivors, it's really hard to get going, and that can suck. The game is well designed and polished; the only real annoyance I have is the weaponised zombies, who come so quickly you can't save your allies. So much luck in one game can really nerf even the most robust strategy - that element sucks, but it's also very zombie-ish, so I can't decide if this game is lame or great.
