A strategy game for the lighthearted.

I bought this game because I wanted to play something other than a serious military rts or a direct Sim City -clone and the demo implied this game to be something like that. Not many business strategy games have made me fall out of the chair while laughing. It happened a few times in this game.

And because I feared that Rico Rodriguez will soon crash into my palace with his grappling hook to cause havoc I played the game as a nice dictator. I tried to avoid any assassinations and all espionage in general. Unless it was required in order to complete the mission.

For the most parts the game is easy even if some of the "disasters" make it impossible to complete the current mission unless you've prepared for them - i.e. these disasters are scripted, but no worries just start again. The missions are usually pretty brief and last about an hour or so.

So if you're looking for a fun city builder game with a hint of Theme Park in the mix, look no further.
