Im a reasonable strategy fan, but this game really caught my attention! In this game you take place in the 1950's to the 1980's. YOu take small isolated towns and turn them into high rolling, safe and hot spot tourist places. You have to make your town safe with a police station and soldiers and make your people happy so they dont leave your town. The graphics are uderly brilliant and when you build things like a pool, spa or maybe a sport complex you feel like your town IS real. One hard thing is finding workers. Farmers, dock workers, garage workers or other hard working labor jobs, the workers aren't educated, but with colleges, high schools, store owning jobs and soldiers and generals, the person has to be educated so it can be hard finding workers for that position to keep your settlement moving. You can get skilled immagrants... for a price. One thing that can be hard is building a power plant. First of all, it cost alot of money, second, its hard finding workers, so if you want to build sky scrapers, sport complexes, movie theaters, big hospitals (not small clinics) and gourmet resteraunts you have to pay 3,500 for a descent worker, but the bad thing is that there could be a black out all the money you spent on these things doesn't operate. Another thing that is not bad, but no so good either, making speeches. When you have elections, you can make speeches to make people vote for you, but you can only pick topics and the computer adds on, but you make the same speech just with different topics. I think that the tropico businness should let you make your OWN speech. Other than that, the game is terrific. You can make your own avatar or could choose from other leaders in the past. So if your a hard core grand theft auto, there is some hope in this game because you can kill inocent people, kill people in strikes, send them to prison and pull them away from society by not letting them do anything. Or plan b. you can not care about your society and watch it crumble to bits!
