Tropico 3

Tropico 3 is a Banana Republic Simulation game. The player is put in charge of a Carribean Island during the Cold War. In the beginning the player can pick from a variety of real world dictators like Fidel Castro and Che Givare.

The player gets to design his island nation and can pick from a number of policies and can change them whenever he wants. The country could be anything from a communist police state to a capitalist anarchy. The player is also challenged to please a number of factions (e.g Nationalists, Communists, Intellectuals). Player can choose how he wants to play. He can syphon money from the country into his Swiss Bank account and live in luxury while his people starve or he could be an honest leader and lead his country to greatness. The player runs everything. Military, Finance, Education, Industry...

The game is excellent and is a must buy for fans of management and simulation games.

Good: Everything
Bad: Cant think of anything
Final Rating: 80/100

You mentioned Fidel, well what if Kaiser Adolf Hitler was the ruler??? Would it corrupt the island? Would you provide protection for Jew lovers, or would you annialate them too as he would???
