Overall, I really enjoyed my time with Viral Survival. As mentioned, they do a good job of keeping the gameplay mixed up between modes and making it addictive enough to keep you coming back and wanting to play more.
Viral Survival is pure arcade score attack action. What you put into it is what you get out. If that's not your thing, that's not your thing.

As a throwaway arcade game this is mildly entertaining, and nicely priced. [Apr 2011, p.78]
