Tropico 4 Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Tropico 4 might not alter much from its predecessors, but does enough to keep its simulation strategy on the top shelf with very extensive gameplay, adjustable on the fly. The humor, addition of natural disasters, random encounters and so much more in this radiant environment make this game a must-have for fans and newcomers alike.

Welcome back to paradise. No time for relaxing or sunning yourself though, as there is plenty of work to be done to turn this crackpot nation into a world beater. You may have to grease a few palms, do a few dodgy deals and generally get up to no good, but hey, the peons will benefit in the long run right? Plus, if your Swiss bank account manages to grow ever so slightly in that period, it just proves what a damn fine job you did. Just remember to cut and run at the right point in time, or yo...
