Pre-ordered on amazon, it arrived yesterday. Am playing it, and having a great time. I think they did a really good job with tropico 3.
Here's my quick breakdown:
Pro:
+Exactly like how you remember tropico 1.. except BETTER (gameplay-wise). There's cars to speed up transport, there's the oil industry, there's new edicts like nukes, same-sex marriages(Roofles).
+There's description and details on exactly what each action does. IE: Increasing salary increases happiness info. (In tropico 1 a bunch of data was hidden)
Cons:
-Freaking graphics are retarded. Do not turn on most of the effects. I run two sli-GTX285 and it lags like mad with effects.
-Copyright protection requires you to activate the game online once. (At least there's a patch available now)
Minor Cons:
-F&%$$% radio guy who likes to shout "GOOD MORNING TROPICO". FUUUFUFUFU
At least you can turn the radio off.
-Power stations do not total up their generated power. You'll have to click separately.
Overall, really satisfied with this game. Would recommend it to any players who have played tropico 1 and loved it.
Disclaimer for those who've never played tropico:
It's like SimCity, but you roleplay a president in the carribean islands who can either rule with a ruthless military iron hand, generous capitalist pig method or the religious zealot.
Definitely more strategy game than a rpg.. but then again everything is classified r-pee-gee these days. T_T
