Maybe it's the wonderful music and bright graphics as much as the gameplay per se, but I find it impossible not to enjoy myself while playing Tropico. I see many before me have already written rather extensive reviews, so I'll just say, "I agree."

This is somewhat of an odd game, in that some people find it excruciatingly difficult to balance all of the factors, while others find it easy to build a fat treasury and a happy island. I don't find it very difficult, except on very high difficulty levels like 200% and such.

Great Game!!! Mucho-Macho FUn! Never get tired of it!

The first day I got it, I was so excited. I read the manual before I played the game. If you were like me and tried to play before using the tutorial, you're in trouble. You'll feel frustrated. Read the manual and use the tutorial. Those are somethings that can help you.

The basics of the game is to rule your own tropical island as a dictator and control everything. You have to make sure you get people to do the jobs, make everyone happy (especially the United States and Russia), and make sure your military is strong. About every 6 years, you will be able to choose if you want an election or not. If you do,your opponent will be announced and a chart will appear. It tells you how many people want you and how many people want your opponent. If you think you are losing, your government can alter the ballots, which is simply cheating. That may lead to rebellions, protests, uprisings, and especially Couped'at, where some of your military goes against you. If the side of your military still supporting you crushes the protest, you'll be safe.

On my game right now, I've been dictator for over 40 years. I don't know how long you can be dictator, but it doesn't matter.

This is a Great Game! Mucho-Macho Fun!! I never get tired of the game!

Tropical Tropico

This is a great tropical island simulation game which has many options and keeps you discovering all it does for a while. Govern an island while worrying about foreign relations and your people's happiness. Rebel groups will form and launch attacks on specified areas of your empire if you are not well liked, and you will see an end to your regime if nations such as the U.S. and Russia are not pleased. They will, however, give you foreign aid if you are able to maintain relations with them. This is one of the top strategy games out there and should be on the shelf of any simulation/role-playing/strategy gamer.

Fun and Additive.

I absolutely love this computer game, it is sooo addictive!! It's fun and intriguing without being too violent and stuff. On tropico, you are the ruler and your job is to build building, industries, etc., provide for the nedd of your people and try to kepp the citizens as well as other countries happy. If not, you're outta there!! it's really good and I recommend anyone over 12 to buy it, very kewl

I can't stop playing this game. It's a lot like playing Sim City, but with a tropical twist. I enjoy the political spin, as well. I highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys simulation games.

I think it is a great game. I mean over all you would be saving a ton of money if you buy this package and not each one seperatly

Hmm. Too complex for me

Well, this game was an okay game. The graphics were good, and the audio was nice and all, but in order to appreciate and have fun with the game, you have to understand a lot of political terms and junk, which I don't, so I didn't enjoy the game very much. Try the demo first before you buy it to see if you can understand it all.
