GCM: Tropico 3 Review

Though Tropico 2 explored a pirate island theme and involved gameplay diverging significantly from the original Tropico, this third title in the series returns to its roots in simulating a Cold War-era Caribbean dictatorship. Developed by Bulgarian company Haemimont Games and published by the German Kalypso Media Group, Tropico 3 might play like a city-building simulator, but it allows players the satisfaction of ruling their own banana republic (with an iron fist or benevolently, as you like) and includes a heavy dose of wonderfully cheesy political humor.
