Sorry Pandemic
kinda am sorry to say that about a pandemic game, but this one fails where the others took their stride. it's pointlessly over complicated with too much to do.
Reviews for "Pandemic: American Swine"
sigh...
very,very boring. not much of a thrill
Great take on a modern classic.
I remember playing Pandemics 1 and 2 and jokingly making a 'Swine Flu' character (?). It's interesting seeing this take on it rather than destroying the world. Still, those game mechanics in this regard seem a little unusual, and it gets a little repetitive after a while. Seems like it would be a better game if a little more streamlined, or perhaps I was too used to the original game. Either way, a good play.
It caught me at first...
But in and of itself, this game seems like its missing something. Like, its a cool concept... but this seems like a cool engine, maybe, to have running with a normal RTS component. But the variables are too..... scattered, it felt like, to me at least, to hammer down a good strategy. After a while it just drags on and then you die after lots of waiting.

Good start, I'm not feeling it tho.

Still a good experience, but...
The mechanics that made the original Pandemic games have gotten rather stale. Sure, it's a nice twist where you actually have to save the world instead of utterly destroy it, but it's essentially the same premise. It's still a good time, sure, but I can't bring myself to finish it because I found myself incredibly bored 15 minutes in. I think it's time to let this series die after this, but you did a good job on it as a whole. 4/5, 7/10.
