Basically this is a series returning to its roots. The game is essentially the first tropico with prettier 3D graphics. Everything else remains the same. This is good because the first Tropico was very good. There is a new option to take your avatar down to your city but I don't see the need for that. Very entertaining city builder. And of course the coolest part about tropico was the very human populations. They all have their own likes and dislikes plus you can target people who oppose you
