Like the Idea, but it needs help
After an hour and a half of playing, and only once being able to infect a second country, I realized this is a raw luck game. I'd strongly suggest doing something to fix the 'restart till you're lucky' aspect. Perhaps more points per turn than 2?

Good game
One of the better games off this site ive played in a long time. It is a tad hard though and a difficulty setting would be nice. Oh and to all the "special" people out there who complain that this game is too hard or unbeatable, why are you spending more time complaining about how hard this game is rath than trying to beat it?
Very good
Its not as hard as everyone makes out. Not to give away anything but it doesnt take as many points to infect a country as you think... Very nice game. The interface is ok but i miss the actual upgrades you could do to your virus. Made it more interesting. But everything else was really well done. The world map improvements are much appreciated. Good job.
Not as good as the first
I tried so many different things... it's damn near impossible to do anything. You get like 2 points every turn... takes about 30 points to take over another country. I like how you have more control in this one, but you made it way too difficult. No matter what I did, it didn't make a difference. Sorry, just plain didn't like this one. The first one was easy, this one was impossible.
Improve: Make a difficulty setting. Or make it so it doesn't take 500 turns to infect the country next to you. Good job on the graphics. Make the intro shorter please. That monkey thing and the pandemic clip. Or add a "Skip" button. Make some kind of percent chance to infect something on the button so I don't waste all my points on a 1% chance to infect an airport or anything like that. Make upgrades cost less. At only 5 to Infect, it costed me 28 points.
Much more fun to play the second time
I have to admit, I didn't really like the game the first time around. With so much luck coming into play it really wasn't fun to lose every time. I'm sure many of the other viewers (some have complained in their reviews) were upset with the increased amount of chance as well. Next time consider more SKILL, not chance. I finally beat it today, but it wasn't terribly satisfying considering how much luck was involved (whether or not a country can successfully make the cure, whether or not that one person originally infected dies before I can infect others, etc.). That kind of luck is the worst kind, considering those who lose right off the bat are bound to say only bad things about the game.
To the last reviewer... since when can't a plane leave one part of a country and land in another part? Actually MOST flights stay within the country... so be glad it wasn't coded as such.
