The political aspect of Tropico adds an interesting dynamic to the game, even if it is slightly underplayed. This all takes place upon the back drop of the cold war, and naturally the two great powers of the US and USSR will have a vested interest in your little island, especially as it grows. Other concerns such as health, food, liberty, housing and education also come into effect, and a competent ruler must make sure all needs are met.

At the same time, you must keep your population happy and ensure there are enough jobs for the people (as well as enough people for the jobs). City building is the name of the game, and you must develop your fledging town by expanding your industry, exploiting natural resources and agriculture, and catering to foreign demand. If we were to be extremely picky, it would have been nice to see more evolutions or additions on top of the ones they did initially, but thatвЂ™s a minor point.ДЇor those of you unfamiliar with the series, a brief rundown is in order: put into the shoes of вЂњEl PresidenteвЂќ (a nameless Caribbean dictator/avatar which you can customize his looks and attributes), the player must take command of his newly acquired banana republic and develop it into a major local player. Those of you who remembered the original title with fondness will love this modern update, and despite not being the original developers, Bulgarian based Haemimont Games (known for the Imperium Romanum titles, among other things) have done a decent job in this latest rendition. Like all games of this type, placement is important. Provided you donвЂ™t pollute the place, you can turn your island into a tourist resort.

Unlike the also recently released Cities XL, Tropico focuses more on personal success than the success of your city (although one can translate into the other if you allow it) it also has way more personality, and is on a smaller scale than that other vast metropolis of a game. Underneath its satirical and light hearted exterior, Tropico 3 exudes all of the facets of any decent city management game.

The true sequel to the classic Tropico that was released in 2001, Tropico 3 takes the franchise away from the clichГ©d pirate shores of the second game, and back into the hands of the Cold War. Half an hour of random gyration later, I was finally calm enough to get down to business: the critical evaluation of Tropico 3. That said however, within minutes of starting up the latest title to find its way onto my desk, I found myself not only jigging away in my chair, but I was so overwhelmed by the soundtrack I just had to get up and do the hokey-cokey.

Being the socially inept and naturally awkward person my hobby dictates I am, randomly gyrating on a dance floor full of strangers has never really been one of my favourite pastimes.
