El Presidente! The people of Tropico need your leadership now more then ever, will you answer their call?
In Tropico 3 you play the role of "El Presidente", the Head of State of your island. The Presidente is a character that you create with specific backgrounds, traits and flaws, so you can make it just what you want to match with your political and leadership style, whatever it may be. During your terms as El Presidente you will be in charge of all operations on your island, which include the economy, construction, edicts, foreign relations, military, immigration, politics, and more which all will add to the ultimate path of your society.
The game keeps things fresh by adding in many random events which add to the true charm and character of the game, be it a bomb threat, hostage situation, weening rebellion, hurricane, coup, or whatever, there is always something going on in Tropico for you to direct your attention to.
There are very few standout "flaws" that I can point out, there are some minor interface problems, but they will soon be patched, other than that it is pretty clear of problems other then the fact that it has a harder-then-usual learning curve, but anyone with history or political interest will learn it with ease and feel very connected to your nation.
All together, the rewarding tasks and life of your great self, El Presidente will be well worth the purchase of Tropico 3, and it is all narrated by a snappy radio DJ and a crisp Latin soundtrack. This game is well deserved of a 8.5 and I highly recommend it.
Viva El Presidente!
