Amazon.com Product Description
Tropico 3 is a single player simulation and strategy game for Xbox 360. Packed with a blend of classic city building gameplay that requires both the decision-making expertise of a manager, as well as strategic elements that give the player political options ranging from winning the hearts and minds of your people, to crushing their will to resist, it is a twist on traditional city sim games that is not to be missed. Story and Gameplay
In Tropico 3 players take on the role of "El Presidente," the leader of a millitary coup that has recently taken power over the Banana Republic island nation of Tropico. Simulation aspects of the game play out in a heavy emphasis on civic, residential, millitary and institution building across the island, as well as resource management, with the player given the choice as to how to economically facilitate this growth. Regardless whether you turn Tropico into a vacation paradise, a police state or a modern industrial nation - you will always have to defend your actions before your people. Players wander through Tropico as El Presidente in order to intimidate political opponents, hold populist speeches or just to enjoy your country's own Caribbean flair. 
Create a society of your own design on the strategic Isle of Tropico.
View larger. | The strategy angle of the game requires players to keep a sharp eye on the dangers and side-effects of your absolute power. Built on the precedant of your own coup, danger lurks on every corner, be it militant revolutionaries plotting to supplant you, or the machinations of the superpowers USA and the Soviet Union, both of whom would like to see a more amenable ruler in strategically important Tropico. Within the game's 15 missions history takes its course with events such as the Cuba crisis, papal visits and other actual decisive historical events. The choice of the means of governing, and persuasion is entirely yours, and the only question is whether or not your vision of Tropico will survive to play a role in that history.

 Tropico 3 for 360 March 19, 2010
Peter A. Lee (Pomona Valley,CA, USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I thouroughly enjoy playing this game. It is just like another Tropico game for the PC, however it is ported over quite well to the 360. The Controls in my opinion are better than the PC's since everything is limited to the available buttons. Note that this game takes a long time to play, so if you have friends that want to play multiplayer or co-op, your going to have to choose to either paly Tropico 3 or with your friends. Otherwise it is a great game to play if you have lots of time. I highly recomend it to people who like RTS games that focous heavly on econimics instead of war.

Excellent city building game March 18, 2010
TenFootMonster
I have been a fan of this series for some time, so I was very excited when the new iteration was released on Xbox 360. I was not disappointed. This is a good port of a excellent game. The controls take a little getting used to, but after a single game they will be second nature. There are a lot of built in scenarios, and a great open ended sandbox mode as well. If you have ever been a fan of city building games, or "god" games, then this is a good game for you. You know in your heart you want to be the dictator of a small island, and this is your chance. Become El Presidente, buy now!

There isn't much to say about this game either than if you like a strategy game you will be hooked. The music is great, and I can't fin one thing wrong in this game. If you buy this game I don't see anyone having buyer's regret.

Bomb. If you like this genre it's one of a kind. Yes, there are bugs such as on sandbox sometimes the camera goes weird. Just click the rsb i believe. With that action and El Pimpe in the limo, it should go back to normal. I dunno if some people who like the genre disliked the game. I dunno if low brow people are convinced that the moon landing was fixed, September 11th was our goverments ploy, and online poker's rigged. Yes they believe a company that makes copious amounts of money will risk their franchise to give your opponent your former duckets. In a 2 dollar game. But I digress. Tropico 3 is a great catch and I try to fornicate with it quite often. There are so many ways to run your country. Benevolently, Cruely, and everything in between. I love this genre so I might be biassed. And order from Amazon. The price is wrong bitch. Okay, it's right. For some of you new kiddies, Amazon has given me the best customer service ever and I wish it was a hot girl too but she would never f!#% me over. I'm sure her service would be great though.
