Pros / Cons of Pandemic...

Id like to offer my PROS and CONS review of the Pandemic App and its Addons for purchase.

PROS: Pandemic for iPad is an outstanding recreation of the popular board game, that teaches you the rules as you play. The graphics are clean and crisp, while the fonts are easy to read. Game sounds are appropriate and welcoming to hear throughout game play, while the music can be heart racing and intense much like the Walking Dead TV series. The gameplay is identical to the board game, while the app keeps the cards random and prevents plays from forgetting all aspects of turn sequence (ie. forgetting to draw city cards).

CONS: While the Pandemic App itself is somewhat reasonably priced. Whereas the "On the Brink" and "Virulent Strain Challenge" addons should have been one purchase price of $1.99, and not separately priced addons. Additionally, despite purchasing both addons, Im NOT able to use or select either of these pricey addons while NOT maintaining a connection to the Internet.

CONCLUSION: While the Pandemic App is a one-of-a-kind game, I believe any App with Addons to a purchased through the App itself should not be allowed to be posted on Apples AppStore. NOT without a full disclosure to the consumer, warning that the App and/or its purchased Addons require a constant Internet connection in order to play and/or utilize the full functionality of the App, along with any purchased Addons.
