Tropico 3 Announced Following Series Acquisition

Tropico really snuck up on me. It was surprisingly fun and free-form. Wish I could say the same of "Tropico 2: We're out of ideas so let's use pirates"

Didn't even realize there was a Tropico 2, but the original one was great, so it is good to hear they are modeling it off the first one.

please don't suck, please don't suck, please don't suck.... I was just playing Tropico 1 again last month, great game.

Wow. The original Tropico popped into my head *today* for the first time in *years* (I happened to be in a discussion about "cozying up to dictators" and was running down the list of all the banana republic bastards the US supported back in the day, several of whom are featured in Tropico). And I had a fleeting thought of "Man, that' was a fun game, I wonder if I still have it around somewhere/? I wonder if it would even run on a modern system? I wonder if anybody has thought of re-doing it with updated graphics and gameplay.... nah, probably not."

I very much enjoyed the first one but I never picked up the Paradise Island expansion pack and the reviews of the second one were so poor I steered clear.

Here's hoping there's more of what made the first one so great and much less of what sank the sequel. Oh, and the music. Loved the music.

Multiplayer? I wonder if you'll play on the same island, or get to trade with and invade each others?

One thing I wish the original one had was more of a sense of the island's place in the world. Both for trade purposes but also cold war politics -- threaten to invite in Russian "advisers" to get aid from the U.S., or vice versa. (And if you piss one or the other off too much, you get invaded a la Granada).

Can't wait to get the military to assassinate random poor people again!

This came out of NOWHERE. I never expected to see another title in this series, and not because the series is bad -- as they are quite fun.

Holy shit, this is the best news! I can't wait! I want to run my own island again!

First one was amazing, the 2nd one pretty much scrapped everything that made the first one great

I wonder if Feral Interactive will port it to OS X this time round? Tropica was pretty good, never tried the second one.

Cool. I never got Tropico 2, but had fun with the first one.
