I've been a fan of the Tropico series since I downloaded the free demo on my Xbox 360 a few years ago, and I've played the games at least 40 hours a month since then. The combination of RTS, Political Simulation, and City Builder is amazing. You can also tell that the developers went out of their way to make this game as funny as possible! If you want a serious City Builder, this is not the game for you. With that in mind, this game isn't super silly, and it has serious parts. The Modern Times expansion pack included with the Gold Edition is truly amazing, and I hope they release the rest of the DLC on the MGS!

I would recommend this game to just about anyone!
