The Tropico series is known for touching heavily on the subject of Communism, so it's highly fitting that Tropico 3's downloadable content will be made by the people, for the people. The biggest surprise is that the Xbox 360 version will feature the content, despite shunning mods and user-build add-ons in other games.
Kalypso Media has not confirmed a price or any real details for the content, only stating that it is happening. In any case, it should be an interesting situation, provided Microsoft doesn't charge us out the arse for it ... oh wait, that's probably what's going to happen.
While we wait and see how this unfolds, check out six new screenshots for the game.

wtf is the Tropico series?
also, trojans on your website. fail.
i.g. http://d7.zedo.com/jsc/fl.js?n=1123&c=202&s=15&d=14&w=728&h=90&l=http://ad.afy11.net/ad?c=5ChwEwIW50agtecknCjtzmT-CuHTi5Wn++R3xas03IGL08nXv3k1MT2gIcwx-BhLaHMuUKCwUI+4sfM1usC3tw==!&z=3135678153//ad.afy11
whatever tf that is, its popping up as a trojan on my system
shame on you, destructoid for trying to infect my PC
The demo was really really fantastic. The game is fun as hell if you are into city-building type games with a bit more... communism and dictatorial island regieme involved.
There's so many options in the game it's mind boggling. Everything from publicly exicuting faction leaders against political factions you don't like to gay marriage, to trying to be a bannana republic to trying to make the hottest tourist site in the world. It's like the ultimate sim city game for me <3
I love using mods in that game ^_^
I don't believe that's the consensus at all. The game garners good reviews from critics and fans of the series alike. I for one played Tropico when it debuted in 2001 and am a big fan of the third one. They really kept the spirit of the game alive. I think if you look around I'm not alone in thinking this.
Uhhh what? Everywhere I've heard says the game is great.
Sure it's pretty much Tropico 1 with a new coat of paint and a few new features/buildings, but Tropico 1 is over 10 years old now, and a game not many have played. I've never played it and this game is fucking great.
