We wonder if we'd handle power responsibly and delegate authority and goods fairly or if we would rule with an iron fist. It's because of our human want to control things that dictator-sims like Tropic 3 get gobbled up on computers. It allows people to live out their fantasies of being evil jerks without actually hurting anyone. But will people lap up a dictator-sim on a console?"
"That’s something else I should mention. Tropico 3 sports a sharp, fantastically dark sense of humour, which works it’s way through not only the radio broadcasts but also the interim written reports. Downtrodden workers, rebel assassins, Tropican plague, there’s no subject that won’t bring a big, slightly evil smile to your face. There are plenty of opportunities to make your own fun too. Like leveling the no-rent shacks of your citizens to make room for huge marble statues of yourself, or..."
"City building and management games have always been more prominently played on the PC as opposed to consoles, as the speed and intricate controls often have made it hard to play such a game without the accuracy of a mouse.

"Has it really been eight years since gamers has last taken on the mantle of “El Presidente”? After a brief stop off in the pirate infested Caribbean during the 2003 squeal, the Tropico Series has appeared to have been ousted out of office. Fear not, for the people have spoken and El Presidente has returned! Will El Presidente's new term of office be as successful as the previous two, or will the rebels finally be too much?"

"However, that’s not to say that developing the title for the console audience has been a trouble-free exercise. “We had to remap and rework the controls several times for the Xbox version. One reason for this is that there are very few similar games on the platform so we had to "invent" many controls from scratch. In the end we came with an easy to use control scheme that we are pleased with.” Spasov stated."
