Tropico 3 Welcomes You to Paradise, El Presidente

As job titles go, El Presidente is nigh on unbeatable. Haemimont Games's Tropico 3 offers not only that gilded office but the chance to hold it on an tropical island. Glorious.

While Tropico 2 took a detour into pirates, Tropico 3 returns to the series's roots--where players governed a banana republic and risked deposition or invasion if their politicking, construction or management skills were below par, but could oppress dissidents.

Published by Kalypso Media, Tropico 3 is scheduled for release on PC in September.

I hope they've done more than just transition the series to 3D.

Looks fun, and very true to the first Tropico. Sounds are great, and the visuals are suberb for this kind of game. I hope the gameplay is even better than in Tropico, and will offer a possibility to play with friend(s).
