GAME GENERAL / CHANGES:
Roughly speaking: Who knows Tropico 4 Tropico also knows 5. Overall, the game is the same, but with more options and a more beautiful graphics.
For those who have previously played no part Tropico Tropico is not classic urban simulator, or the like.
One must of course build accommodation and for food security etc. so do not worry rebelling population. Great attention is however placed on the "policy". Politics in quotes, because it is easier to happiness! Politically active one is by edicts, such as rent and not by doing a favor various fractions.
But beware: It often happens that when a group is doing a favor for you at another faction loses its prestige.
* The construction and trading system has changed:
The former I personally now not necessarily clearer and really a lot of new buildings have unfortunately not happened. Of course, one has caused many through the ages building, but something really unusual came not to (if I find something, I change this accordingly).
For trading system:
The trading system has really changed for the better. So it's not like the predecessor "blind" and not looking what exactly is imported and exported. Now one can understand this and much more:
Create your own trade routes and thereby increase profits. You have to work a little in there but well worth it.
Edes last wins the game also by depth.
* Mood: Like the other parts of Tropico is the latest offshoot of a true Stimmungskanone! The Caribbean music in the background the trellert that prevail in the light of the sun and the witty comments provide the right atmosphere.
* Something I do miss the "interactivity" of the campaign. For example, how the buried miners 4. The Chinese giant drill, I had to laugh tears in Tropico :)
* Also, the game is "too clean" For example, the farms have now given, square regions in which they grow a little. Its predecessor was simply crisscross implanted, which fits more to a banana republic.
* Also, some little decoration etc. available, but I think there is still reworked because parts in the previously much attention has been paid.
CAMPAIGN:
As in Tropico 4 there is again an entertaining campaign. Here you play on different islands through different scenarios. Once can you export many ores for his motherland, while the satisfaction of the population have in mind, other times you will be thrown into the deep end and must provide on an island full of revolts order.
At the same time the campaign will be refreshed by the other Tropico parts cheeky sarcastic messages of "customer" and external powers. Again: Laughing warranty (for Westfalen: Schmunzelgarantie);)
SANDBOX:
We come to the core of Tropico, the sandbox game. Here you can opt for an island and set parameters such as the pre-existing population, chances for unrest, natural disaster, etc. even before the game begins. Very nice story that makes the game more individual.
As already known from its predecessor, needs to be said on this island then. On the one hand the money to the treasury flows (exports) and, secondly, that the public is satisfied and not rebel. Finding this balance is difficult especially at the beginning, but then (unfortunately) easier in the course of a game.
For this you will with other problems such as natural disasters, poor infrastructure (not enough car parks) etc. faced.
GRAPHICS:
Compared to Tropico 4 has standard graphics really done a lot! Firstly, the whole island looks much more real by a detailed Flora. Even the water was pimped a lot, which makes the whole scene even voiced.
Has led whereas the zoom-in Tropico 4 to really unattractive images, reveal a great 5 in Tropico spectacles. Clear the building were interactive in Tropico 4 and you could look at the work, but in Tropico 5 is all graphically beautiful and much more detailed.
Despite the good graphics, the engine is now not so resource-hungry, so you can safely play the part on newer laptops.
SOUND:
It has always been true of the sound that has made a real Tropico Stimmungskanone! And here it is again like that.
Again you will be lulled by the great Caribbean songs and there at the same time on a paradise island in the sun.
At the same regularly accompanied by sound good, sarcastic voice messages formulated by the foreign powers or one of your henchmen.
Conclusion:
Total 5 Tropico's really well done. If you had had with Tropico 4 fun, you Tropico is 5 certainly like.
The game has again gained atmosphere, which makes for really much fun.
The new buildings, islands and the changing trading system can even still make great eyes veterans.
Through the various eras and in the Cold War and the sandbox game will not soon boring.
On the question at the beginning: whether Tropico 5 now really is better has probably everyone decide for themselves. For me, both games have their place and I play despite Tropico 5 also the fourth part, which is a bit sarcastic and pointed in the joke easily.
For those of you who did not make Tropico part previously played, my tip:
Look at to only times Tropico 4. The part is available for 1/4 of the price and similar Tropico 5 very. Do you like Tropico 4 can strike her here and have 2 Best Games.
