Tropico 5: Surfs Up! DLC
 – 

New building and scenario*****

This DLC adds a new mission, a new map a new costume, a new soundtrack and a new building: The Dolphinarium. This is interesting, the building can be visited by the tourists, but it's not a must to have thing. Also, the map, costume, mission and soundtrack... you can play very weel without its. I bought this DLC because I am a fan of Tropico, but it's not the greatest pack for this game.

Tropico 5

Game is fun*****

I see that Tropico 5 share the curse of all the good series, the curse of predecessor. If you already have a very succesful game in your hands, developers are facing somehow a dilemma: if they try to keep the old mechanics and game design, fans will accuse them of copying the old game. And if they try to implement new mechanics, then fans will complain about how the new game spoiled what it was good. The curse of homm3 over its succesors is the best example of that.

In case you had great fun playing tropico 3 or 4, this game probably won't give more to you only because it's developed few years later. In this perspective, i find most of fan's critics are right. Yet, for those who didn't play a tropico game before and for those who seek an enjoyable simulation, i strongly recommend Tropico 5. Particularly the campaign is well designed, and most of all game is fun.
