a great game just got better! [Posted on 2002-03-12]
Paradise Island is awesome! It has re-newed my interest in Tropico and contains many game enhancements such as new buildings which can be rotated, new tourists (spring break and "eco") and some new edicts which I enjoy. Also, the buildings are constructed faster to satisfy the impatient gamer. ;) As if Tropico itself wasn't cool enuf already, Paradise Island makes it even better! If you like Tropico as I do (bought it when it first came out), then you gotta get the expansion! You will not be disappointed!
Being a Dictator Was Never So Easy [Posted on 2002-03-24]
I found the original Tropico to be a terrific game and I'm glad to see that my main complaint - the inability to rotate most of the buildings - has been addressed to some degree in the expansion. I haven't played the expansion for long, but I did play long enough to appreciate the new speed with which buildings are completed. My only complaint is that not all of the buildings can be rotated. I can only wonder why this is. If you liked the original Tropico, you won't be disappointed with this update.
Disappointed in Lack of Mac Release [Posted on 2002-10-26]
The original Tropico was released to Mac gamers, but this expansion pack still hasn't been. I'm disappointed, as the original was a very entertaining simulation game. I'm not holding out much hope for a Mac relase of Tropico 2 when it comes out this winter, either. Us stubborn Mac users deserve to be benevolent dictators of our own banana republics, too, you know!
Time Tested and included [Posted on 2005-03-19]
The "add-on" has been tested by the game fans. There has been a patch issued to fix the most annoying bugs. (#1.51)
However, the most important issue is that this add-on (along with the important patch) has been incorporated in a later edition of the game. That edition is called "Mucho Macho." It sells at discount prices all over the place.
So instead of looking for the "add-on" CD (listed as "not available" here), just look for the "Mucho Macho" edition. It is a great game.
AND IT IS AVAILABLE FOR MAC TOO!!
Makes The Game Play More Fun! [Posted on 2005-06-06]
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.
