Oh yeah.
This game is one of the greatest games (in general) I've ever played. Very challenging (depends on the difficulty percentage) and very replayable. (depends on your style of gameplay)
Tropico 3 is a video game developed by Haemimont Games and published by Kalypso Media. Like the previous games in the series, Tropico 3 is a construction and management simulation game with heavy emphasis on city building, and as a sequel to Tropico, the game attempts to return to the roots of the series, which puts the player into the shoes of "El Presidente" - a dictator governing over an island banana republic.
Players begin having seized power of the Caribbean island country of Tropico, where they rule as "El Presidente". The game offers: a comprehensive campaign with 15 different missions, a variety of business sectors, a time line editor that allows you to create your own fictitious historical events or enter real ones, custom avatar, political speeches, wide range of editing and modification functions, mission generator for random map creation, variety of online-functions such as high scores or visiting islands belonging to other players and a Latin soundtrack.[3]
The game combines city management with a wide variety of residential, economic, civic, and military structures and transportation and resourcing management, with political gameplay including a variety of factions with needs and demands, elections, coups and revolutions when needs are not met, and the ability to follow each Tropican including key faction leaders individually, determining individual needs and orientations, and apply a variety of means of persuasion from improvement of conditions or bribes to firing, imprisonment, and assassination.
The game has a variety of humor elements including running satirical commentary by fictional radio station Tropico News Today, and subtle touches such as liaisons between priests and cabaret girls.
Additions not in the original
* Numerous random world events.
* A transport system allowing citizens to travel by cars.
* Avatar customization and control.
* Election speeches.
* Oil production is available as an industry for educated workers.
* Same-sex marriages and nuclear testing are available as edicts, with different results and requirements.
* New faction: Nationalists, who abhor immigration and prefer a dominant Tropican workforce.
* A "vintage mode" for non-rotational 3D visuals.
* Gravel roads (roads with a low speed for countryside of the island)
* Ability to construct a giant sculpture of El Presidente (you) on the island, by an edict.

I played the demo but unfortunately my laptop cannot handle the game. I still have the original Tropico and expansion which i absolutely love to pieces! Use to spend hours on the game back in early 2000's. I like how they added roads and vehicles to Tropico 3, big improvement overall too.

It's actually very easy to play once you get how the economy works and how the general happyness works :)
But when I realized most of the stuff my sandbox game had already ended cuz my Presidente was out of office... I can keep playing on that island but I don't feel the immersion (the feeling of being IN the game, cuz some events are from the past real world in general) :(

I have played this game too!
At the first 3 games I sucked but with the 4th I survived till the end :)
And after that I realized how the game works....

How could I have missed this! I got this game a while ago thanks to comrade dictator ElMartu and hell I jizzed my pants.
I ain't enjoying much time right now but I'm trying to make a thousand-inhabitants or greater island with my communist dictator strategies (which are awesome) ... !
And the best of the best: Soviet Union does not collapse in Tropico 3.
