I love this game! It is very fun,I did have problems getting it to install and even more problems uninstalling and reinstalling but when i did get it to work i enjoyed it. You do need patience with playing the game too, it takes a while for you to build lumber up (with out cheating). Its challenging trying to keep your captives from escaping or starving to death (because with out captives you cant keep your island working) its also challenging to keep you pirates happy with wenchs, taverns, and gambling. This game is pretty challenging as long as your not in easy mode. Great game!!!

ARRR...don't be missin' the fun

This game is a whale of a good time! If you like games such as Stronghold, Age of Empires, Age of Mythology, etc., you will enjoy this little treasure.

History mixes with fiction to make a splashing good time for both landlubbers and pirate royality alike.
Enjoy!

Fun... but annoying after awhile

I've been playing this game for about two weeks (on and off obviously) and I've had a lot of fun with it. However, I can't seem to build up a large fleet of ships because every ship I have sinks the third time I send it out. Like clockwork, boom it's gone. And if I wait and build up my ships, the pirates get bored and restless. And I need a good number of ships for my economy to grow. But how can you build your economy if all your ships are sinking on the third voyage?! It's becoming very annoying. I don't know if this is a common problem, but be warned that it's something I've found to be wrong with the game.

Wenching and Pillaging. Arrgh

This is no game for little kids. Though there is no graphic carnage, the implication is there. Besides, I don't know that I'd want little Timmy running an island where you get to subject poor little captives into a life of prostitution and pass edicts that allow random executions to keep the workers in line.

However, I adore the game. It's fresh and fun. The scenarios are lengthy and sometimes I wish the fastest speed went a little faster, but I think that's my only complaint.

Fresh Coat of Paint

The graphics are a little out of date compared to games like Sim City 4.All they really did is but a fresh coat of paint on Tropico.Hey it's fun but they fell short on something orginal.But they give you a very nice booklet explaining a few things more than other game companys due.

This is not a mac product!

Hi, I'm sorry to take up space meant for reviews, but this game certainly doesn't work on macs, even though it was listed as a best-selling mac game.

The game might seem fun at first but then after a while it gets old. All you have to do is build and wait. You can set ships on sail, however, but you don't have control of them and you don't even get to see them. So if your not a simulation fan skip this.

Fun but gets old

When I bought this game I was like cool its a game about a pirate controlling an island. Its got ok graphics. I never played the original Tropico so I couldn't tell you the differences. I played the game for about 5 hours. The only exciting part I found was sending the ships out to raid areas (when i played there was only one place to raid) Funny thing is they would never run out of people or be smart enought to move to another place (means not realistic). You would never see these raids. If you build too fast you would run out of captives. Very annoying. The whole fear thing on the captives doesn't mean anything. I never lost one captive. You could buy it or not its up to you!

Tropico 2: based on demo
