Let's start out with a simple summary of the game: Tropico is a strategic city-building game , you take role as " El Presidente " the ruler ( Or dictator in some cases :D ). You build a country in the Carribean called Tropico. The time set there is 1950's - 2000 you can set how many years you can rule that is the max though. OK , onto the REAL review. A real Tropico series fan knows that owning and building this country requires patience and consistency. With Tropico 4 , they add 10 new maps and 20 new buildings. Now you may think ... That it? Well, yeah it is but I guess it was enough to hold us off until the DLC arrived and it was. But , 20 new buildings? I was expecting a little more actually all Tropico 4 is , is a version of Tropico 3 with a little better graphics , new maps and new buildings. All in all, THAT'S IT!
Pro's:
+ New maps
+ New buildings
+ A tad better graphics
+ New soundtrack
+ Better natural disasters such as Tornadoes, Droughts, etc
Con's:
- No more Juanito on the famous Tropico radio
- W/O DLC this game gets boring after you beat the missions and some sandbox mode sessions.
- Not much difference Comparing and Contrasting
Tropico 3 and 4.
- Not enough buildings
- Was expecting new features, guess not though :(
FINAL THOUGHTS:
This game is a definitely a RENT. But if you are looking to keep it , you might wanna extra 20-30 bucks for DLC such as modern times, bonus pack ( which adds new maps ) , etc
FINAL RATING : 8.5
