Product Description
Tropico 3 goes back to the roots of the hit strategy series closely following the original Tropico story-line. The time is yesterday and the Cold War is in full swing. Through means devious and dubious you have seized power in the Caribbean island country of Tropico, where you now rule as the all-powerful "El Presidente". You decide whether you want to use your army to secure your power base in the best traditions of corrupt, unscrupulous tyrants everywhere or lead your people to prosperity in your role as generous elder statesman. No matter whether you turn Tropico into a vacation paradise, a police state or a modern industrial nation -- you will always have to defend your actions before your people! Wander through Tropico as El Presidente in order to intimidate political opponents, hold populist speeches or just to enjoy your country's own Caribbean flair. Don't forget to keep a sharp eye on the dangers and side-effects of your absolute power! Danger lurks on every corner, be it militant revolutionaries bent on installing a communist junta, or the machinations of the superpowers USA and the Soviet Union, both of whom would like to see a more amenable ruler in strategically important Tropico! A wide range of editing and modification functions Mission generator for random map creation The cinematic, highly detailed graphics perfectly reflect A variety of online-functions such as high scores or visiting islands belonging to other players Latin music soundtrack

 Tropico 3 November 17, 2009

This game is awesome, The graphics are pristine and seamless contributing well to the overall game play. The dynamic lighting gives a real sense of beauty to each unique island. The economy based game is fun in the sense of the choices the player can make (i.e, Communist, Capitalist, alliances liberty level). Rebel attacks are fun and the custom avatar feature is a fun addition as well. I highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys economy based RTS games.
Very Fun Game That Has No DRM or Online Activation Requirememt!!! October 30, 2009

One of the best things about this game is the fact that the developers still respect the gamers/fans - there is no DRM or Online Activation Requirement (Steam). All you need to do to start playing Tropico 3, is enter the key code included with the game (just like the good old days!) Way to go Kalypso... thank you for having faith in your fans!!!
As for the game itself...
10/10 - The developers stayed faithful to the original Tropico, basically combining the original & its expansion into one game... and then updating it. They have added great new features such as a customizable avatar & vehicles. These two features alone add an extra layer of depth, realism and playability missing from the original series.
I have also found the game to be almost bug free... this is very refreshing, since most new games seem to be released unfinished & still in Beta (Empire: Total War anyone?)
The only critique I would give this game is the need for more of everything - more customizable options for your avatar, more building types or design variations of current buildings, more edict options... more, more, more. If an expansion is made for this game, I think it should be: "Tropico 3: Mas Todo" - no major theme change is needed, just more of everything!
Tropico 3 is a very fun & addicting game!
 Same as before October 24, 2009

I was hoping for some newness in Tropico 3: some improvements... I only played the demo but it was pretty much the same as the first ones with better graphics. If graphics mean a lot to you, you may want it. The avatar is annoying, and they take forever to build anything. The AI is not as smart, since it takes the builders a lot longer to even notice when a building needs to be built.
But I like the new ability to design a simple speech when you run for office. I wanted MORE game play upgrades even if it means less graphics. Graphics are not that important to me. I rate it OK, and very disappointing because its the same as the other ones.
Addicting! October 24, 2009

If you've played previous versions of this game and liked it, you will like this game. I played the demo a few times prior to the release and found it very entertaining...it's easy to use up at least an hour every time I sit down to play this. If you're on the edge about it, try the demo first!
