    It's like the developers read my review and fixed everything I complained about in the first game.

    The kind of great sequel that should be encouraged - it builds on the solid base of the original, cleans up most of the problems and manages to stake out its own territory in the process.
  3. PC Gameworld

    Despite its flaws, Pirate Cove is a very engaging game, made all the better by being the first title that doesn’t just make gambling, drinking, wenching and plundering in the Caribbean a recommendation, but a requirement.

    The first Tropico offering was a bit wittier, and a touch more engrossing, but the Pirate theme is done as well as possible in this title. [June 2003, p.116]

    Surprisingly, there is no option for random generation of islands, nor is there any scope for multiplayer frolics, making it feel rather limited.

    Fans of "Tropico" may wish that Frog City had developed a more direct descendant of the original--the mechanics are basically the same, but Tropico 2 is a very different game.
  7. GMR Magazine

    An otherwise pedestrian city-building game, only Tropico 2's setting salvages it from being a complete shipwreck. [July 2003, p.79]

    One of the best games I've ever played. Much better than Tropico 1. Lost quite a few days in finishing this one.

    I like the classic wood-n-brass look and other affectations (like ol timey words like 'middlin' and 'preenin'). Its I like the classic wood-n-brass look and other affectations (like ol timey words like 'middlin' and 'preenin'). Its harder than the original to win the sandlot games, but the increased speed of construction alone makes it superior to Tropico I, not to mention many more varieties of whore houses to choose from!… Expand

    I like the pirate ability, but it is hard to get, and keep, happiness up.

Graphics are more or less ok, but again, I liked Tropico 1 more. But anyway, it's worth a try for a management strategy game lover.… Expand
