GameShark: Tropico 3 Review

Porting PC strategy games to consoles is always a risky process. City building sims are an especially tricky business because they’re so heavily reliant on complex menus, build orders and organization. A mouse is a comfortable tool for quickly navigating, while a controller, well, isn’t. Really, the control pad is Tropico 3’s only major downfall on the Xbox 360. If we pretend the terrible controls aren’t there, it’s a spectacular strategy game.
