Tropico 4

Date played: May 15th
Platform: PC
Time played: 30 minutes
Session fun rating: 7/10

I bought Tropico 4 for my girlfriend's birthday, she's been a huge fan of this series since the first game. Tropico is to my girlfriend as Civilization is to me. I didn't have time to do much but I created a customer leader who wears a pirate outfit and a pipe, is a farmer, scholar and financial genius. Seems like a funny mix I know...

I started the first mission, built some corn and tobacco farms, set up a church, police station, market, clinic and added some very cheap housing. So far, it seems like a better version of Tropico 3, so this is not a big upgrade but it has a lot of new buildings, edicts and seems a bit deeper than before.
