| Juanito and Betty Boom are gone. The engine is EXACTLY THE SAME.
There are a few new buildings and now you can import things instead of just exporting things. Also you have a cabinet of advisers, which is good because previously you just had to read a bunch of graphs in a tiny notebook to figure out which factions to placate or whether unemployment was high. On the other hand, now you have to appoint ministers before you can implement some edicts. What the fuck? I'm not playing Banal Bureaucrat 4. I'm playing Tropico 4. I'm a cigar-chomping Marxist motherFUCKER and if you don't do what I say 5 seconds after I say it, I will PERSONALLY have sex with your wife, then blow your fucking brains out. The interface has been improved dramatically. The maps are much bigger and instead of Shacktown, Jamaica they actually look like places that could house 1,000-2,000 people without a problem. All in all, it feels more like Tropico 4 is more akin to Tropico 3 the way Stronghold: Crusader was to Stronghold. A lot of tweaks to placate hardcore fans but not a lot in the way of innovation. If you're new to the Tropico formula, this is a better buy than Tropico 3, but otherwise 40$ is a lot to ask for what amounts to a 20$ expansion. |
