Tropico 3 demo on Xbox Live News

Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese

19 November, 2009

Kalypso Media has popped a Tropico 3 demo on Xbox Live Marketplace. Gold members have access today but Silver members need to wait until Wednesday 25th November.

The sampler guides you through the tutorial and then offers one of two missions. The first is called Bananas and revolves around exploiting your new land and people to grow and export the fruit. The second mission, Second Chance, follows you onto a new island after your twin overthrows your government and drives you out. With only rich iron ore deposits to exploit, your new home looks, on the surface, rubbish.

The Tropico 3 demo weighs 1GB and can be queued for download on the Xbox website.

Tropico 3 has been released on PC and Xbox 360 already. We reviewed the PC version and slapped 8/10 on the end. Worthy of consideration, as the accompanying text points out.

I rather liked the first one. Didn't realise this was going to be on 360 as well.

Played the full game for a few hours last night. Really good. Had a hard time quelling the rebel uprising and military coups

If your PC can run this, you should get it on PC. I tried it briefly, it looks great and the gameplay is, as far as I can tell, really solid. I expected it to be more of a gimmick.

Is Lou Bega still a choice to be your dictator?

"A little bit o' tyranny in the sun, a little bit o' genocide all night long, a little bit of murder's what I need..."

That sort of thing, metalangel?

Plays very well on the 360, but I'm finding it impossible to play in SD as the text is too small...
