Light and a nice co op intro game, but it doesn’t change much with each game so replay value is not very high.

This game is like a light version of Pandemic, but it makes for another fun cooperative game.
I have a personal preference to games that are not very player versus player aggressive, which is why this game is decent.

I have played this twice.
Light, fun and good suspense.
On the bad side, its a bit of the same all the time and you may never even use your special ability.
Also the co-op plays with one person telling everyone what to do. You really don’t need more then one player to play.
