Tropico 3 - Xbox 360 Game (Retro Fam)

NOTE: I own the PC version of this game, and not the console version. Apparently, some problems have cropped up in the console version. PC players will need an internet connection at start up to connect to the Kalypso website. The available patches will automatically download on installation, and quickly with high-speed.I had the old "Tropico," and the good news is this. Players of the old game will find it largely as user-friendly and familiar as the older edition, and the dynamics of play remain largely unchanged. The new graphics and interface will take some practice to get used to, but not much. Maybe an hour of "fiddling" with the camera angles and mouse. So, even experienced "El Presidentes" will want to run through the generous and easy-to-follow tutorial. The graphics are lovely, and the music just as whimsical and fun as the older editions, but expanded considerably. Some added governmental options also more readily allow the player to pursue which kind of ruler he wishes to be - kind and benevolent, or an iron-fisted tyrant.The game will also auto-save automatically, a nice feature. The only annoying this is the fact that the overlay system makes it a little more difficult to plot the course of your farms and ranches since you have to jump back and forth between two screens. But that's a minor point. You also have expanded game options - both shorter and loger missions, that better allow you to get the "feel" of the game dynamics.There is also an avatar.

AWESOME GAME TO PLAY
