It is difficult to come at this game from anything other than a nostalgic angle for me. I played this on my PS2 and I loved it. The story and artstyle captivated my little self and playing through this again now is a pleasant experience.

If there was ever a version of this game worth trying out I'd say this one is it.
Here we have a really solid port of an old, quirky game with a real big heart. I personally can't recommend it enough.

The new missions added by the DLC are a bit of a hit and miss but a very welcome addition to any Tropico DLC. I'm not complaining at all, I'll take any sort of mission over no missions at all.

The new mechanics introduced with the drones and buildings related to them are generally a lot of fun to play with. Your mileage may vary if you're not a big fan of the micromanaging portions of city builders though.
