Video Game Reviews of Tropico Expansion: Paradise Island
Customer Review: Makes The Game Play More Fun!
Summary: 4 Stars
This was the expansion pack for the original Tropico. I purchased this immediately upon release because I enjoyed the original Tropico so much. One thing I don't like about the game or the expansion pack is the huge amount of space it takes up on the computer. That aside, this expansion pack offers some extra enjoyment. You get some new businesses and dwellings. Some are more exciting that others, like El Presidente's Childhood home is a pretty useless attraction, but the Sportsplex and other attractions that utilize electricity make the game play more fun. The game also includes several more scenarios and edicts. I can't imagine playing just regular Tropico anymore. I don't know if this game and the orginal have now been combined, but if you are still playing Tropico the original version you may want to swing for Paradise Island.
Description of Tropico Expansion: Paradise Island
As an all-powerful dictator, you'll manipulate resources to create your own thriving Caribbean paradise while lining your personal Swiss bank accounts. The Tropico: Paradise Island expansion pack features new scenarios, people, vehicles, and buildings to increase the clout of el Presidente and intensify his lust for power.The expansion pack forces players to deal with the disastrous effects of tropical weather in the form of hurricanes and tropical storms, hoof-and-mouth disease, and red tide. Such disasters can translate into both economic and human losses. Fragile buildings crumble, including homes, docks, and bunkhouses. Crops are lost and morale decreases. As el Presidente, the player must restore the island's beauty and the people's faith in him.
Other features include more than 20 new scenarios, including a Gilligan's Island spoof, other tourism scenarios, and military challenges. New characters include ecotourists and spring-break tourists with boats that cater to their personalities. New dictator attributes allow for the success of even the most evil ruler.
