Juanito says: Go watch this Tropico 4 trailer
Why? Because I put around 80 hours total into Tropico 3 on the Xbox 360. Not because I hated the PC version, but because the control scheme worked well on the console and you could manage the slow-moving life of a banana republic island with your feet up, lying down on the couch. It was the ultimate exercise in laziness! So here's to 80 more hours of laziness, and I hope we get to kill Juanito again if he makes a reappearance. Did you know?

Hola El Presidente! I see you have returned to rule Tropico once more, after having done so in Tropico 3 and maybe even after extending your rule in Tropico 3: Absolute Power. Because life as El Presidente is hard enough, you will be happy to know that the island nation will take more or less the exact same skills to govern as it did before.
