 Rating:  - 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. Rating: - 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.

It was a waste of my time and money. Rating: - Very Poor Conversion to the MacI would not advise anyone with a Mac to buy this game! The game itself is excellent, unfortunately someone was more interested in rushing it to the Mac market than actually testing it to see if the conversion worked. It doesn't. It repeatedly crashes my system to the point of being unplayable, even with most of the visual detail removed, playing on the slowest settings, and my dedicating most of my RAM to the game. If I can't play this game on a G4 with 512 RAM and a top of the ... Read More Rating: - poorly designedI've played Tropico on the PC, and it's a great game. The MacSoft version, however, is really unstable, crashes constantly, and offers a minimum of support for these problems. I run OS X, and at first I couldn't even run the game, which the folks at MacSoft say just happens and I should run the OS 8 or 9 version, which is slow, stops randomly, and crashes as well. The patch provided by MacSoft makes the OS X game load, but still crash at the first opportunity. The folks at MacSoft took a fun game, and ... Read More |
