First impressions of "Zombie State."

It feels like a hybrid 80s Ameritrash/Avalon Hill game from the eighties (Gammarauder?) with a eurogame injection. I'd say it's a little like Pandemic, in that outbreaks ramp up as you play. There have been complaints that various technologies are overpowered, but interestingly the complainers all mention different technologies. I don't think anyone has discovered a perfect technology research path--the randomness of the outbreaks tends to unravel perfect strategies. For example, you can wall off borders, but then random zombies can pop up behind the wall.
