Tropico 4 Xbox 360 release date revealed

The Xbox 360 version of Tropico 4 launches on Friday, 21st October in the UK, Kalypso Media has announced.

It had been pegged for release in mid-September.

The PC version is out. Eurogamer's Tropico 4 review returned a 7/10.

"It's hard not to like Tropico 4, because it's based on a solid foundation that is naturally engaging," wrote Dan Whitehead.

"It was and remains an enjoyable if slight take on a dry genre. Its tragedy is that it hasn't bothered to build anything worthwhile on top of that foundation, preferring instead to coast on jaunty music that makes you feel like you're playing in Nando's and broad satire that fails to sustain the game beyond the first few days of play."
