Can't wait for the 360 launch. I played the hell out of the 360 version when it came out.

Here's to hoping it sports a budget price launch like 3 did.

Very cool game to play on the pc. I'll eventually be getting the 4th game, plus it's got some good old salsa music on it.

@chicgods109 I love how you don't form a complete sentence until you get to the payment part.

If you (have played and) enjoyed Sim City you should give it a shot.

I've never played any of the Tropico games before, but I've enjoyed Sim City in the past and I liked the Tropico 4 demo, will definitely be buying this.

Think of it as a lite version of Simcity with a heavy emphasis on politics if I may.
I like the various approaches of playing the game, you can turn your island into a tourist getaway or build various industries to export products while pleasing the various factions on your island. And there's the option to kiss-up or piss off foreign powers: the US or USSR (or just remain neutral).

I must say seeing my city turn from shacks to condos; satisfying peoples' needs; sometimes fighting off rebels; doing elections; having the threat from foreign powers and etc etc is fun.

If you like city-building games, give it a try.

@shadowhowl1900 along with what they said about SimCity it also has a humor of its own and an excellent latin soundtrack. I prefer it over Simcity.

Yeah, I've played the demo, and it mostly looks the same except the more colorful UI. But according to Tropico Wiki :
- New major powers
- 20 new missions
- 10 new maps
- 20 new buildings
- 6 new disasters
- More interaction with citizens and factions, including objectives
- Facebook and Twitter integration
Oh and I'm excited seeing a mall in the pic above.
