## Description

You, as El Presidente, will first take control of the infamous island of Tropico during early colonial times and then guide it through the centuries as the world changes and moves ever forward. You must tackle the changing needs of your people, as well as opposing governments and factions, and thus lay the foundations for your own dynasty. As you move through your years in office you can promote members of your extended family on the island to positions of power: such as ambassador, commanding general or even Supreme Ruler, to ensure your legacy thrives through the eras. As your influence and wealth grows, so do the threats to your burgeoning island superpower. Can you survive both World Wars, prosper through the Great Depression, rule as an iron-fisted dictator through the Cold War and advance your country to modern times and beyond?

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Far more challenging than previous installments
*by L***P on December 28, 2014*

I've been a long time player of Tropico. I couldn't wait to get my hands on 5 for the 360. The graphics are stunning. The campaign mode is long & challenging. You have to acquire research points from libraries, colleges, etc. That you then use to research buildings such as mines, oil wells, airports, and so forth, rather than starting with the buildings available already. The storyline keeps you captivated with it's ever-changing directions the characters go in. The only thing I didn't care for was that Penultimo is voiced by someone different. He's not bad, but he's far more monotone than Penultimo in 3 & 4.

### ⭐ Freezes xbox 360 with paid DLC content installed. be wary they caused this with a broken patch
*by S***C on May 8, 2015*

I have purchased all DLC content for this game and it crashes every time within 10 mins. why no patch after all these years for xbox 360? and now kalypso has the nerve to announce tropico 6 when #5 is completely broken with DLC content installed (do not trust them until the freezing issues from their bad patch is fixed

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ... the Tropico series and at first was a bit disappointed by 5l
*by M***6 on December 26, 2014*

I'm a huge fan of the Tropico series and at first was a bit disappointed by 5l. However, after playing through the whole campaign, it grew on me, but I still think 4 is a better game overall.Pros:- They made building more grid-based so it feels easier to line buildings up next to each other. Farms in particular are much better because you can see where the farming area will be ahead of time as opposed to previous versions where the farmers randomly chose plots of land nearby. This could be a plus or minus depending on your perspective as it makes it less free form feeling.-- The achievements are pretty easy. I completed a majority of them with very little effort (just played through the campaign and a sandbox game). In previous games I found it a lot more challenging to complete them.- There are varying levels of difficulty that you can set including political climate as well as financial challenge. This means no longer stressing over making money if you choose to go the easier route. I was rarely in debt in most my campaigns (this is rare for me in Tropico).- You get to acquire a dynasty of leaders with different attributes that can suit different campaigns and be used to supervise buildings versus being stuck with one president per campaign.- Overall it's like the other Tropico games.Cons:- It feels a bit stripped down like there's less functionality or customization than previous games. The character creator for instance is much more limited. The choices in looks is limited and the choices in personality/background/leadership are much more limited. You also don't get to pick the names of subsequent dynasty members.- The game is much shorter than previous Tropico games. I was able to breeze through all the single player content pretty quickly.- It feels less polished because of minor things like typos, the character model animating differently than their mirror reflection, the voice over sound levels are sometimes inconsistent. These have no impact on the gameplay, but it makes the overall polish level feel low.- The lighting was very strenuous on my eyes. Again, this is minor, but on some of the maps I had a really hard time seeing things because the brights were BRIGHT and the shadows were so dark that I couldn't see what was going on in them.- I struggled a bit with the UI/UX design changes a bit at first. They changed how to navigate through the various data menus so I was constantly pressing the wrong buttons to open up my various menus and forgetting where things were. Even when I knew where they were, I would still press the wrong buttons a lot. The previous games' controls had a better, more intuitive feel to them in my opinion. I got used to it though.- You play on the same couple maps for each campaign and keep building upon the same couple maps. After I completed the first couple of missions I was upset when I realized I was going to have to go back to those same maps to play subsequent missions in the campaign. So I basically built up my city for one mission and now I had to use that same city for another mission. In a way this is cool because I had a foundation of a city and didn't have to bother re-building the same stuff over and over, but it was also slightly problematic if you focused on building certain things for one objective and now it's not as useful for this new one. They at least try to tailor the missions so that one of the two maps made more sense for each mission, but it still felt a bit hampering.- The maps felt smaller and there were a lot fewer of them.Overall there's just something about Tropico 5 that feels off or missing to me. It's like when a restaurant changes the recipe of your favorite dish and you can't quite put your finger on what's wrong, but you know it doesn't taste the same. It still satisfies the craving, but it's not quite as good.
