  • Summary: As the all-powerful dictator El Presidente in this "Tropico" expansion, face new challenges as you build your thriving island paradise... not to mention a bountiful Swiss bank account. Paradise Island provides more tourist attractions such as beach villas, tennis courts, and nature preserves to help lure those Yanqui tourists. And for you "evil" tyrants out there, new dictator attributes allow for the success of even the most unjust regime! It may be time to enforce Martial Law, because it looks like there's trouble in paradise! [Take 2] Expand

  1. All the added features of the nicely-priced expansion pack provide an absolutely enjoyable and unique city-building gaming experience that will keep you entertained each and every visit you make to the sunny beaches that make up the sultry and sometimes dangerous paradise of Tropico.

    It really does fix most of the main annoyances even if some issues are still prevalent. The new additions and the new fantastic music all are worth the time to experience.
  3. Tropico was a great game, and Paradise Island does exactly what you want from an expansion--it makes it even better.
  4. It's about as straightforward as an expansion pack gets. There's just more of everything, and one or two minor interface tweaks.

    Very Very Good expansion back to a very very good game.

    The absolute best city-building game I've ever played, without exaggeration. From overarching policy shifts such as encouraging the populace to eat better, to micromanagement specific enough to assassinate individual citizens, this game truly has everything I could want in a sim. Expand
