Story As always you are El Presidente, doing missions or the sandbox mode, to hopefully make the people of Tropico happy.
The games set between 1950 and the end of the cold war, which means the United States, China and the Soviet Union are all annoying and continue to bite on your Tropico Island until you give into their demands.
Presentation Playing on Tropico 4 is practically the same as 3, I hardly see any changes in the way the games been presented, other than the previous announcer who does the radio and TV shoutouts being replaced and a few extra add-ons, but nothing major.
You have a couple of characters who try and add a bit of humour to the game during it and the music just is not good enough and I muted it within an hour’s worth of gameplay.
Gameplay There are the usual scenarios to get involved with, Tropico 4 gives you 20 different campaigns to do. As
usual you control the island, decide whether you will treat your people with living on an island full of luxury or be the evil master of a capitalist island.
Additions The only major addition I found was the odd occurrence of natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanos.
Another little addition is the cabinet, which basically means you need ministers to act as foreign experts in military, foreign affairs and so on, so you can issue policies – however this is lacking and it was way too much hassle.
Oh and there are also a couple of new buildings available such as shopping malls, how exciting!
Conclusion If you’re new to the game, then do give Tropico 4 a go, it’s just like the previous Tropico but unfortunately that means previous players may not wish to go out and purchase it.
The few additions are well thought and hopefully Tropico 5 will give previous players more content, all in all I’ll rate it 6/10, as it is just Tropico 3 but improved.

Tropico 4 Review
I have always been a fan of the Tropico series, so when I ripped off Tropico 4s packaging I was fully expecting a couple of great additions and another good game to add to my collection.Story As always you are El Presidente, doing missions or the sandbox mode, to hopefully make the people of Tropico happy.
