pcgamerpro - Return to the award-winning empire building game set on the island paradise of Tropico El Presidente, the beloved Tropican leader, is celebrating his 4th consecutive landslide re-election by releasing Tropico 4 Gold Edition on 9th November 2012 in the UK and Export territories.
Tropico 4: Gold Edition offers hours of strategy gameplay with the characteristic goofiness that’s made the franchise so successful, but there's little here we haven't seen before.
WorthPlaying - In Tropico 4, El Presidente returns to the island of Tropico, and this time, he's bringing new enemies and allies along for the ride, as he fights to turn his little island into a superpower.
"The Strategy Gamer has played lots of Tropico 4, and lots of the Modern Times expansion. Looking at Tropico 4 Gold and coming up with something new to say without sounding like the game’s biggest cheerleader is a tall order. The core gameplay is outstanding and between the aesthetic, the voicework and the music, it oozes personality. Tropico strikes a balance between offering deeply strategic, compelling mechanics without taking itself too seriously. And it is the perfect leadership simulation. Some surprising absences dull the shine of the package, but all in all, Tropico 4 Gold is a great pickup if you missed this game the first time around."
