The long overdue follow up to a pair of acclaimed city building games released several years ago, TROPICO 3 puts players in the shoes of a dictator of a fictional Caribbean island. You have the option of choosing a real dictator -- such as Fidel Castro or Che Guevara -- as your avatar or creating one of your own. It's up to you to choose how to build up the island's economy. You can build farms and export products, strike deals with foreign companies, and snuggle up with the U.S.A. or U.S.S.R. to receive financial aid packages. 4/5
