    I never played the first one and saw this game at 20$, i felt tempted to buy it... 
     
    I heard the game was very buggy, is it still? Is it worth it at 20$?
     
    Cheers

    It's a terrible game, not worth buying at all. It'll never get patched if it still is buggy either; Pandemic went bust.

    No.
     
    Trust me. 
     
    It's a waste of money. Don't waste perfectly good dough on this shit. It still hasn't been fixed, and it's a buggy disaster.

    Bought the PC version for $10 last summer
    Still not even worth it at that price
     
    Not only is it a port, but one that is filled with glitches and bugs
    The online is practically dead, and half the time I can't even join someone's game
    Even when I do join, it's just so 
    ...........bad
     
    Pandemic only released one patch which fixed only the "big problems" of the game (i.e. random game crashes)
    Among other things, there is just so much many flawed gameplay mechanics
     
    If you do buy it, maybe we can play some time together? :D
    There really is only one thing that fun in the game
    Pissing off all the factions and have them constantly spawn in cities 
    At the same time, fighting them off with a tank/helicopter combo

    Ever since Pandemic was bought by EA in 2007, they have been releasing bad games
    Although, I still haven't played The Saboteur though, would you recommend it for the PC?

    Totally would and the games they made that were bad were because EA kept shifting the goal posts.  
     
    EA :"Start making a Batman Game Pandemic" 
    Pandemic :"OK" 
    EA : HURRY UP or we'll kill off your Brisbane, Australia studio
    Pandemic :"Oh shit, but we've only just started."
     EA : "We're closing down your Brisbane office because we gave up the Batman license - the Dark Knight is gonna flop and NO_ONE will EVER make a good Batman game, so don't bother"
    Pandemic :" But we've done the art assets and a lot of level design and it's only been a few months. What are we gonna tell the Aussies?"
     EA : "Yeah we own those assets, don't worry we'll use em somewhere (or sell them off).  WHAT ARE YOU GONNA TELL THE AUSSIES? WE DON"T FUCKING KNOW. NOT OUR PROBLEM.  YOUR STUDIO, NOT OURS"
     Pandemic : "Yeah but that studio was opened because Star Wars : Battlefront was a success and we needed more developers for the sequel!  What are their families going to eat?"
    EA : "Are you Stupid AND Deaf? NOT OUR PROBLEM. SHUT THEM DOWN...Oh and how's that WWII Assassin's Creed a like coming along, we liked your ideas, sorry if we didn't say it but MAKE THE GAME HAPPEN...RIGHT NOW! You guys are on THIN ICE!"
     Pandemic : "OK. Don't worry the game will be great.  (fuck, wish we'd stayed indepedent contractors instead being part of Bioware/EA merger)"
     EA : "So where's the game E3 is only 6 months away????"
     
    and so on...

    I'm canadian and I see this game in stores for $4.99, $20 is too much. I'm sure you can find a cheaper copy elsewhere.

    $0 is too much.  There are too many games that need playing for you to bother with this.

    Am I the only person that liked this game? I only had one bug (all the grappling hook assests are gone). I got it $5 and I would have payed up to $30 for it.
