Developed by Haemimont Games, Tropico 3 brings the series back to its roots and puts players in the role of ‘El Presidente’, the two-bit dictator of a strategically positioned banana republic in the Caribbean during the time of the Cold War. Players assume control of every aspect of island life, deciding whether to unleash the army to secure their power base or lead their people to prosperity as a generous elder statesman. Will absolute power corrupt, or will the humanitarian approach spur progress? Find out in February 2010 as gamers become part of the political machinations of Tropico as they determine the fate of this island nation.
Tropico 3 will be available for Xbox 360 in North America this February 16th, 2010, and is available now for Windows PC.
