Most unrealistic simulation ever. I hope there's no badges. No reason to play this game ever again. It SEEMS intricate and complex, but mostly it's just slow and boring.

Indeed. Even on casual mode, pretty soon the entire world shuts down all borders and forms of transmission -- due to a virus with zero symptoms. Pretty desperate for a cure, too. Man, that's one fearful nonentity.

@Rexosorous: the only ones that maake any sense are 2, 3 and 4.
1 is dumb because the idea here is it costs points to change, period.

HA just watched my parasite spread to Madagascar without ANY symptoms or transmission methods. I upped all resistances to lvl 2, that was it. I'll let you know how I finish.

scoreboards needs more classifications like most number of infected on virus, bacterium, parasite type. Most number of kills on each type etc..

another thing, say you've infected the entire world except Madagascar, and Madagascar's population stays exactly the same, meaning the death and birth rate are equal...wtf

an awesome addition would be to have an alert bar. which shows how high or low the alert is in each country or region

this game owns. ive played like 10 full games of realistic parasite and i still have never had a botched vaccine or infected madagascar, but i still think it was creative and pretty well made. i hope to see a 3rd one with some of the good ideas from the comments here.

Not bad...but there are several improvements that could be had for Pandemic 3. Such as: ripple effects for the virus, Japan shuts down borders-leads to food shortages. Also, how does a virus with no symptoms cause countries to shut down everything? HIV/AIDS infected and killed thousands before it was even recognized as a threat to the general population.

NE1 get disconnected from KONG's site my time at approximately 2:30am? On July 23, 2008? Had something to do with maintenance which, I didn't know KONG did regular maintenance that kicks people off the site.

speed controls... i want to speed it up more or jsut skip pst weeks at a time, especially in end game didnt take long to get the whole world but i had to wait almost an hour for most peopel to die... there still many alive just dieing off slowly

The realistic mode is amazingly true to life. I'm sure the United States would shut down the entire country because of 15 people with a fever.

Also if it's undetectable how are they detecting it? I could see someone detecting a parasite regardless say if you got a cold and they took a look at your blood, but a virus with no symptoms? How's anyone knowing to close their borders to that when nobody even knows they're carrying it?

Oh and guys, a disease with no symptoms would be very dangerous. If it had no symptoms you couldn't detect it. It doesn't mean it wouldn't do any damage to you, just that nobody could tell. If it had no symptoms but caused you to suffer an eventual massive brain hemmorage and die out of the blue, there would be damn good reason to shut down boarders.

This game is broken. How can a disease that has no symptoms still infect and kill the entirety of humanity? All that matters is whether you luck out and infect Madagascar or not. If you do, you win, if you don't, you lose. Nothing else that you do makes a difference. Doesn't matter what symptoms, what upgrades (other than drug resistance to slow down vaccine perhaps)...the outcome is always the same.

i think its possible to infect madagascar by using lv 4 water resistance, water transmission, and them having a flood

oh-no! there is a virus that has no syptoms and dosen't do anything to the body close down all borders and transportation!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
this game is kind of stupid.... its completely up to luck. great idea and fun at first but when you realize theres no skill in winning its prett bad
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Finally beat it. >.>
Now I need a nap..
It's plenty possible to infect Madagascar (and other problem countries)..just need a little luck!

Nice. Only two things I can think of to make this better.
One, integrate the Kong API so we can get badges, and two, add an airport or something to Madagascar.
I look forward to a new version of this.
