Or, in other words, lots of radial menus have been added to compensate for the crippling lack of mouse and keyboard. Maybe next year they'll patch in Natal support so you that you literally can point and click.

And also to pull your finger across your throat with one hand while pointing to someone you don't like with the other.
To, yknow, send them a fruit basket.

Here's hoping for a PC version (which there better be...)

This game looks really neat. Hopefully they fixed the pacing problem that was there in the first game. Even on the highest speed, I couldn't help but feel it was running a bit too slow.

Still need a Simcity 5, but hopefully this will tide me over (I've heard Cities XL sucks)

And it rocks.

It was better trying to run a Cuba-esque government.
Nothing is quite as satisfying as ordering hitmen to 'dispose' of a chief political rival. Or a complainer. Or just some random peasant because you feel like being an ass.

@EdibleFood: That better?

No, something far, far different. Think the building and construction of Sim City/Sim Island, the infrastructure/supply system of Railroad Tycoon and the control as any true leader would have. Shake with a little Civilization and serve.
There will be people trying to oust you from power if you're not popular enough. Be wary of Americans at your doorstep trying to buy out chunks of your country. If you want to be a tyrant, go right ahead, just be prepared to have to marshal your army to quell rioting peasents. Or kill some of them to keep the rest in line.
Make an island of banana huts, or industrialize and start putting in schools and hospitals and condos.
Love the games. The second one was a pirate island.

Tropico 1 is Mac compatible, I do believe. :)

I had it running on OS 9 way way back on my old crapmac. So it'll probably work.

I will also accept "El Commandante", "Mi General", and "El Generalisimo Pollo Supremo con Salsa Por Favor" as acceptable titles.

Poor performance? Well, feck. I was hoping for the best with that game, since good console games in that particular genre are rare as hell. I think the last one was actually Diablo on the PS1.
Was hoping it'd get an expansion as nice as the first game's (which included the absolutely awesome demoness class).
Sigh. And Blizzard might just use this as further reason to not make Diablo 3 on consoles.

Otherwise, why spout meaningless nonsense unless you're going to back it up? "ZOMG this game is SO terrible! The HUMANITY!"
What's so bad about it. It has a few glitches, but NONE as crippling as Diablo 2 had when it first came out (of course that's all been fixed by now).
Maybe you just don't like games in this genre?

Tropico 3 is just a product of making up for there not being a Tropico in a while and in order to seem like they were still active they named it 3 just for the hell of it.

And the music! The music was part of the best part. I really hope they still do that well.

It's a Masters Of Orion 3 waiting to happen
