Will I like this game?

[pandaliamcod6]

Some of my favorite games are zoo tycoon, roller coaster tycoon series. But I dislike the Sims. Is this game really about creating your own city or are your restricted in what you can do like Sims?

[gazmaster1]

From what you said you will love it. I myself hate the sims but loved this. And yes its all about creating a city and managing it along with dealing with international requests, political unrest and society on a whole.

Sounds good
Will pick it up soon

Its nothing really like the sims. In the sims you control a few people and pets. In here you control the whole entire country including Economy, entertainment, foreign affairs, peoples income, tourism, etc. It is pretty similar to tycoon games so i you like them you will like this.

One question, why do my farms stop producing, because of no raw materials?

Make sure you built them on a "Green" area. If it's on a green area, then you might have enough garages or teamster workers to go around to all of your farms/plantations/ranches.

If you see a load of oxes stacking up next to the farm then there isnt enough teamsters to pick up the goods and transport them. I wouldnt worry about farms to much, just make sure you have enough to feed the locals. Focus on mines and salt untill you have a steady income and move onto oil.

Is this game easy to play with an xbox controller?

I had no problems learning this game's xbox version -- I'm assuming you're asking because you may have played previous versions on the PC, as I have. The console version is a bit less involved than the PC version, but the feel is the same, and the controls are very manageable.

I like what I read here. I bought it off eBay, should receive it sometime this week.

Yes, it's quite manageable. Since it's a simulation game and you spend a lot of time flicking through different menus comparing stats and whatnot. There is no major need for micromanaging individual units/people.

Is this game worth 20 bucks? It's on DOTW and I was considering it even though I typically hate games on demand.

I loved the original Tropico on PC though, worth it in your opinion?

Yes. Get it, I can guarantee you will enjoy it, if you liked the first one.
