Tropico 3 Message Board  

Hello all I have been debating buying this game. Is it really worth the $40 to buy it seems like it could be easily played out in just a couple of days meaning low replayability please correct me if I 'm wrong

Imo i like it, its a challenge and I really like that. I just thought it was cool from the video and reading the review here but after playing it a few mins im really happy with it.

Thanks for the info

I really like the game and I'd say Yes but I think you must have a really good PC to fully enjoy it, Mine is a Gateway Quad Core with AMD Phenoms, 8GBs of Dual channel RAM and an ATI card with 1 GB of Memory running XP and with the graphics on the highest settings I have had a little lag in some areas. I can run Resident Evil 5 and Left 4 Dead with no problems on the highest settings so I don't think it's because of me having an ATI card. So before you spend the $40 make make sure your PC can truly handle it. There's something about this game's graphic engine that makes this an issue.

But all in all I'd say it's very fun and I love how speech writing can sway votes for you. The only thing I don't really like is the lack of choices for most building shapes and that as a female there are quite a few times when my female avatar is referred to as a he.
