The addition of real politics, planning, and consequences to the decision-making process adds a level of suspense not present in other building games.

It may be a bit heavy on the micro-management, but if you’re at all interested in the God game genre, you’ll be hooked on this game for a long time.

Tropico passes as a strategy game - just don't expect it to rock your world. [July 2001, p.58]

It was fun to try the very first part of the series. In actuality, unfortunately, I constantly saw advertisements and reviews in magazines, but I could not try it myself. I got acquainted tropico after 5 and 6 parts, and was surprised that for the most part nothing has changed in the basic mechanics of the game. Now it makes no sense to start from the first one, modern parts offer everything the same, only deeper and bigger, visually more beautiful, and more convenient in terms of interfaces. Only for historians-archaeologists

Ima nekih stvari koje su jako iritantne i lose uradjene iiiiiiiiiii jako jako je tesko naci informacije nemaju nikakav wiki u igrici itd. ali sam je bas dugo igrao i bilo mi je do jaja, zavrsio sam sve i nije mi top top ali ne bih igrao opet sigurno.

Great game: The atmosphere is perfect, it is not only caribbean, but it is also funny to read the manual. Gameplay is very good, you need some hours to understand the mechanics and there is always something to do. The best part is, that you need to think strategically, but also need to do some micro management. Even as an experienced Tropico player I still discover some good ideas, but nonetheless it could be more complex and less casual. Graphic is...2001 ;) So dont expect much. Anyway you cant change the resolution to 16:9, what is unfortunate. And there are no mods in internet.

A hearty "¡Viva Tropico!" for giving gamers such an innovative and fun game to play. While play may get a little repetitive during long game sessions, you'll definitely want to come back for more before too long.

One of the games of my childhood. Really loved to play it back in time and I still play it sometimes, along with Tropico 2. Unfortunately, the newer parts do not have the unique spirit the first part had.

Amazing, amazing, amazing, and simply amazing. Love playing this game so much. Beautiful graphics, stunning scenery and architecture, interesting story and great musical score. Definitely one of the best "build your city/society" type of tycoon-ish games I've played. Excellent!!

It is eminently replayable. There are so many options -- the island's physical characteristics, victory conditions, El Presidente's personality quirks -- that it never plays the same way twice.

It's the perfect game to sit down with for a couple of hours, with a margarita in one hand and the mouse in the other, and just tinker with your whacked-out island.

It's difficult to come up for an overall score for Tropico as it does so many things right, but at the same time, tends to become a bit repetitive after extended periods of play.

A very good game that really pushes the envelope is terms of immersion and difficulty.

Tropico is a fantastic city builder. It allows you to build and manage your island paradise. You control the fate of every single one of your citizens without being able to actually tell them what to do. However you can lead them in the direction you want. Every island you play can be a completely different city. The Cuban flare of the game can really carry you away. The game difficulty offers a wide range but most scenarios are very tough. Few games are as rewarding as Tropico - and the original is still the best in the series.

Tropico 1 is, even 13 years after it's release, really fun to play. I loved this game as a child, and even now the graphic part of the game is still decent, while the gameplay is just epic! The newest version definitely has some more options, but if you buy Tropico 1, you'll still get tons of fun for just a few bucks.

I've played the heck out of this game. I have to say, it is a really enjoyable and fun experience. You can micromanage everything. Unfortunately, the fun runs out rather quickly as there is not a whole lot you can do past a certain point. Overall good game.

Uno de los juegos más gamberros que se han creado. Da la vuelta a la idea de los típicos Sims y consiguen llevarte a controlar a un dictador. Vale la pena probar alguna de las nuevas versiones ya que las mecánicas y el espíritu sigue siendo el mismo desde 2001.
SummaryPicture a city-building simulation, god game combination with a good splash of humor set in a third world, Caribbean island setting.
