5 stars "Sweeter than sims or sim city."

Fantastic little game. You play as the Dictator of a given island for a set time. Campaign mode seems to give you objectives and so on for a more fulling version than sandbox.

Never fear sandbox mode still is possiblity according to the demo.

4 stars "Good Simulation that could have been even better"

This is a remake, or rather update, of the orginal fun game of several years ago. Not a lot has changed, but with better graphics and a more detailed zoom feature it offers a very pretty simulation. Once you have played thru all the scripted missions, it still has plenty of replayability as you can configure your difficulty minutely with plenty of tweaks – creating as tough or as easy a game as you please. I would have liked to have had more variety in buildings, but what is on offer is very detailed and a delight to zoom into to watch the Sim lifers go about their daily chores. In the end it is a game you can leave for a while and come back to and still enjoy it.

5 stars "Greatly overlooked little game"

Fantastic game if you are a Simcity type person. Very underrated and well worth a play. Should keep you occupied for a while.

4 stars "If you have ever wanted to be a central American dictator?"

I never played the original Tropico but remember reading accounts of the game and thought what a great idea. The new Tropico is a humerous, challenging and with enough variety for me to still play it months later. It perhaps could come with a bit more historical context, but that is a small issue and more to do with my taste for games. Overall, a fun and clever simulator.
