One giant problem with this game, is that it's too easy to manage your city and hardly challenging even in population growth. Also, factions are too easy to silence completely.

I thought it was gonna be like Caesar 3 with its awesomeness but it was not as good. Also, pathfinding for road building is terrible.

But if you like a very easy city building game, it's best bought in steam where i bought my copy.

If you crank your difficulty and build yourself a tiny island with no resources... it can be very difficult

Yeah there's something missing with this version of Tropico and I hope some expansion(s) can add it.

There seems to be a lack of charm or something - all the components are there but the game just isn't as fun as the previous versions.

I think part of the reason is that the game doesn't seems to have downplayed the external factors (i.e. USA vs USSR) and the political elements of that, and has instead moved to a more Sim City like management aspect.

So now, being communist, capitalist, going for tourism or raw resources etc doesn't feel like it is as meaningful - it's just a means to an end. One of the coolest things about previous Tropico's was the semi-roleplaying of a government type which seems to be lost in this one.

Here's hoping it can be improved (or modded) to bring the charm back since the graphics and low level gameplay enhancements are very nice.

Again ? They've had great deals since before Black Friday, their end of year sale prices were a bit higher on some things but overall we've had a bunch of decent sales for nearly 2 months...best for me was Resident Evil 4,5 & 6 for $10 each.

SegaGamer3417d ago (Edited 3417d ago )

The sales have been getting smaller and smaller and many of the games have been on repeat for the last year. And the prices aren't even tempting either, unless you are looking for 360 games that is.

Huh...I'm starting to suspect that if tower defense games had never been invented both XBL and PSN marketplaces would be half the size and twice as good.
