Forget the badges for a second. You can't beat realistic mode unless you hit Madagascar, which I have yet to do in any game unless I start in Madagascar. However, Mada has only one access point, which is rarely used, and is usually the first to shut down. I have often played games where not a single ship docked in Mada before it shut down. The fact that one would make a game that actually relies on phenomenal luck is what makes this game suck so much. This is even more retarded than trying to hit the restaurant in dolphin olympics, and I actually like that game.
This game is way too long for how boring it is. After about 45 saves, you have to wait -forever- for an opening. I wouldn't have spent as much time on it as I did if it wasn't for the Buried Treasure challenge. And even for that, I couldn't be bothered to stick with it. I haven't lost a game, but I haven't finished one either (except for the easy badge).
I watched Madagascar for 103 days straight. Not a single ship left or docked at the port and they closed the yard by day 103. Seriously lame, and I blame the designer.
The mouse control is terrible. I have to slide my mouse all the way across the desk to get across the screen. Add that the mouse leaving the window if you move too far, and this game just sucks. 1/5 until it's fixed.
This time, I started in Madagascar, but there weren't any boats leaving the island, despite the shipyards being open. I was able to infect the whole island without a ship leaving. And then they closed the ship yards. Seriously lame. This game needs fixing, and I'm not playing this again until that happens. Still 1/5.
this requires way too much luck and not enough skill, which makes all the between level purchases rather meaningless. I might as well be playing something like critter cannon or turkey launch.
I think the super spelunking badge has got the best of me. I'm only at ~30,000 points and I'm just too bored to keep going. There should be more quests or something to mix it up. Otherwise, it's a lot like Progress Quest, except that at least PQ plays itself. Also, I read that someone else here is up to level 133! Holy crap...
The controls are beyond retarded. Regardless of where I click and drag, the robots seem to move randomly. I like the concept though, and would have rated it higher if it weren't for the controls. 2/5
So, I've figured out the game, and it's still lame. Seriously, it's the most poorly designed card game I've ever seen. The main reason is that there is actually very little strategy involved. A lot of times, either the player or the computer is left helpless while the other is able to pound on them turn after turn until the game is over. Evolutions are lame, too. If the player has a land/sea/air creature in a slot, you can't evolve anything because your eggs get killed the next turn. Instead, you're forced to throw everything you can in that slot to take out the other creature. By the end of it, you've blown a few cards or so just so you can stop taking hits. Maganic Wars, Castle Wars, Kongai, Monster Master, Kongai, you name it...are all better than this piece of crap. (Still 1/5, obviously).
