I hoped to have as much fun with this product as my friends who play it on Windows. Instead I was had, bigt time. It is soooo slow I can prepare dinner while it loads. Forget about enjoying the game, instead you will snooze after each click. When I checked the programer's website their solution was to run it on OS 9. You'd think that if they sell a product for OS X they would make sure it runs properly on that platform. It was a waste of my time and money.

Addicting and lots of fun!

I really, really enjoy playing this game. Especially designing my own scenarios. The graphics are great and the music is very catchy as well (I found myself humming it in the shower!). The game seems a bit daunting at first in its detail, but you quickly get the hang of it. My one beef is that when deep into a game, it starts to run sluggish on my Mac.

Welcome, Presidente!

The game is awesome - I have spent many afternoons of free time, dictating to my loyal, and sometimes not so loyal, tropican subjects. There are two issues I have with the game, one is that once your island starts to get developed, with a higher population, and lots of buildings and things going on, there is an annoying lag between clicks - but it is not like you need your toothbrush and jammies, just a delay. My other issue with the game is that there never seem to be enough construction offices to get a job done - I expect that this has more to do with the way I play the game than the AI. The sound track is a kick, but makes my wife crave chips and salsa. Mmmmm salsa... be right back. Over all - this is a great strategy / sim game, and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys the genera. After all, who doesn't want to the supreme ruler of their own tropical paradise?

Training for serious planning with a dose of humor.

I highly recommend this game. The mix of planning for a city/country with the political intrigue with its high dose of humor make this a fabulous game. In addition you must juggle the issues of sustainability, economic growth, budgeting, recreation and education. Most of these are in SimCity, however Tropico is much more fun than the overly slick and cold format of SimCity.

Good Game

I enjoy playing this game. You really need a good video card in the later parts of a game to keep the great graphics.

awesome
