Avatar details and screenshots released for Kalypso Media's Tropico 3.
Tropico fans from around the world have been eagerly awaiting a sequel to the cult series for years – now their long wait will finally come to an end in September 2009!
Tropico 3 stays true to the heart and soul of the original Tropico. One of the most prominent features of the sequel is your own, freely customizable avatar. This time, you will be able to slip into the clothes of El Presidente, wander about Tropico Island and directly influence your people.
Avatar Features:
• The avatar is a special customizable unit that the player creates and controls.
• Avatars can be male or female
• The player is able to customize the avatar's face, hairstyle, facial hair, hat, clothing, and additional accessories.
• The avatar travels across the island on foot or with his limo.
• The avatar is able to speed up constructions, inspect buildings, address the people from the balcony of his palace, calm down a protest, or go on a diplomatic mission abroad.
• The avatar may also engage in combat and personally shoot down rebels. If he is unlucky enough to be wounded, he can retreat to his palace to recuperate.
