    Fun, but not user friendly
  

*by W***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2012*

I'd played this game in the past and it's as fun as I remember it. I bought the download because I missed it so much. You get free reign to be any kind of dictator you want. I like the ability to create a dictator, choose an island, and to customize how buildings and business are run. It's like a political Sims-type game, with more control than the Civilization games but less than actual Sims or Sim City.That said, this game plays ONLY on full screen. This means that if you want to play it you have to take out a chunk of time to devote to it and can't be doing other things on the side. I have found that the Mac 'Spaces'/'Expose' navigation works in game, which is better than having it totally full screen, but not great. There is a way to change this on the PC but I cannot figure out how to translate it to Mac. It does make my laptop heat up a great deal and makes it slow down considerably when playing. If I had known this beforehand I probably would not have purchased the game.The graphics are fine, although it is a little hard to navigate the map and there are few options for it. It will depend a lot on how you set your 'visuals' options, but on medium/low quality it makes my computer (1.5 year old MacBook Pro) slow down and heat up, so I don't know what the realistic best quality is.There are also a limited number of activations on this game (I believe it's 5).

    Review: Tropico 3
  

*by H***C on Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2013*

This was a very long download. At 6 Mbps it took close to 4 hours, give or take.I used to play the original Tropico, and had a lot of fun with it. Then, as now, the game suffers from exponential complexity as a game session progresses. There is more to keep up with with every new farm, industry, government infrastructure that the dictator adds to the island, and at some point it does become a chore.This version suffers from too much chatter from the voice over character, and his accent is not all that believable. He's not the same one as the original, and that was a bit of a mistake. The original voice of the obsequious advisor had a great deal more credibility and lent a certain amount of Latin charm to the game. But it is still fun, though mastering the formula for a fast growing, happy island nation always seems just a little too elusive.

    Classic
  

*by S***H on Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2014*

I purchased this download because this is probably one of two computer games I was ever truly addicted to when I was a teenager. I hadn't played it in years, but since it was so cheap it seemed like an obvious purchase and I wasn't disappointed! Still fun, easy to play, and similar enough to the original to pick it back up.If you haven't played tropico before, it is like sim city, except you are an island dictator that needs to not only build up the city, but also work to keep your people happy so you can stay in power. Very addictive (in a good way!).
