    FEATURES

    Engage in a tropical power trip! Become the dictator of a remote island during the Cold War. Charm, persuade, intimidate, oppress, or cheat your people to stay in power! Are you a kind and generous leader? A corrupt and ruthless tyrant ruling with an iron fist? Turn your island into a tourist paradise or an industrial power. Make promises to the electorate or slander political adversaries to get the crucial votes for the upcoming elections. Send your avatar to congratulate the people, visit the island of another player, or just sun-bathe on the Caribbean beach.

    The original Tropico explored an interesting (and fun) idea, namely ruling a Caribbean island. Tropico 2 almost completely ignored that concept (it should not have been given the brand name), but Tropico 3 largely returns to the original form. Though the game is a bit graphics-heavy, it includes many improvements on the original, ranging from a better infrastructure system and more advanced buildings to adding a few new flaws, traits, and background bits. All in all, it's an enjoyable game and a good sequel to the first game in the series.

    I liked tropico 1 when it first came out and I thought this would be a vast improvement on the first game. But what I found was little to no improvement, I enjoyed this game but the more I played the game, the more the shallowness started to shine through and it really started to get tiresome. This is another example of a game that had so much potiential just fall so far short of being a classic because it lacked that extra effort. I would slot this in as yet another shallow strategy game you will play a couple of times then forget about.

    Tropico 3 was my first expedition to the tropico world and i have to say that i was very impressed with the game. if you have ever wanted to run your own nation this is the game for you, want to oppress the locals? you can. want to create an eco tourists paradise? you can. there are a few issues to be aware of.. setting down roads can be a pain in the ass sometimes, and waiting at 99% for a couple of years for your construction crews to get up off their asses and finish is annoying. it would of been nice to of seen graphically on screen things like people on the streets celebrating when you fund a mardi gras for example. small nitpicks aside its a great game and well worth the purchase

    Tropico 3 is a fantastic game. I tried the demo and was hooked on it. The game has some really good graphics especially if your rig can take the maximum settings althouh i did notice that the npc has no collision detection as old woman can be run over by cars and still be there slowly making their way across the road. Music and sound is first class the music is catchy and the radio presenter is funny and informative. The game itself is easy to pick up and play but will take a while to master but for people who enjoy the challange of building up yuour island trying to avoid revolts and or wanting to dominate the world this is the game for you.

    This game is really outstanding. You can do basicly anything you want in the island. You can be the best president in the world and make your people happy or you can be the most ruthless dictator in the world. Manipulate world powers to benefit your interests. Control your economy and your people. Its really fun to play this game and it doesnt have any technical problems.

    Tropico 3 is much better than I expected it to be. I downloaded the 1.04 patch right away and experienced no bugs, the game runs smoothly. The graphics are wonderful and detailed. The music is just as great as the original Tropico and the radio host add more to both gameplay and atmosphere as he tell you whats up in your city between the music and your election speeches. The buildings are pretty much the same as the original but it dont need to add many more building to make this game a 5 star for me. This is the city building game i have been wanting for a long time now.
