Movies 3/10
voice acting 4/10, audible but childish and corny,
actor drawings 5/10, poorly animated, cartoonish
unit definition 2/10, cant tell what the hell the unit is unless you zoom all the way in
sound 9/10
music 7/10
character development 2/10. cheesy, cliche, predictable.

Basically, great game for 10$, but dont count on being challenged or sucked in. A good time waster, would have loved this from 8-4 in the 90's, but now its a relic in my opinion. Dont spend more than 10-15$. Also, freezes and crashes often, lots of glitches, still playable but draws you out of the game

Tropico puts you in the position of the ruler of a small Banana Republic. The main aspect is the management of its economy.

Tropico is probably best played to relax. It does not demand too much management, the player can also just watch the events and only do little things himself. The soundtrack of some pseudo-Carribean music adds to this.

Ufortunately, the game has a major drawback: If the economy runs well, everyone is happy, if it is not, you are screwed. Anything else in the game is unimportant, rebells or political opponents do not matter much. Whilst this might be realistic, it is not really adding to the fun. For the same reason, the campaign mode is not really interesting: Each scenario is simply won by getting the economy running, and although the starting conditions are supposed to be different, one always needs the same strategy.

So, whilst it might be fun to play it a bit from time to time, it gets rather boring when playing it a couple of days in a row.

Great game, lots of hours can be spent at this one

I used to love playing ROME, and this version takes Total War to a new level. The joys of massed artillery gouging holes in closed formations... What's not to like?

Awesome, with bells and whistles!
