Hey guys,

Looking for a new game usually im playing Rpgs maybe a wee bit of fps. But mainly Es and Fo games.Anyway looking for a new game kinda bored of pay-day 2 already and no other games in my inventory interest me!

So i had a wee look about before an had a look at these two gams 'Tropico 4 and democracy 3' and was wondering you opinion on them ? I quite like the idea of controlling a socialist state or at the other end of the scale a dictatorship! So which should i choose hoping democracy will come up in this sale and tropico is already on sale!

Thank you for looking

Any opinions or alternative suggestions also taken

Have not played tropico but I did play democracy 3 and I don't think they're in the same league. tropico seems like a high budget "proper" game whereas democracy 3 is a bit of like a visually pretty statistics balancer simulator. If anything I am a bit angry at how much democacy 3 costs given what it is.

I found Tropico 4 a lot of fun, great music, good atmosphere and very addictive. It isn't as complex as some other games of it's genre though.

Democracy 3 is enjoyable enough but it's overpriced and very biased towards certain political ideologies.

Tropico 4 is a lot of fun. Its the only game where I actually bother to get the DLC.

I wouldn't say there's a lot of replay value in it with sandbox mode but the missions are good and there is a lot of value in it. Get it in the sale and it'll keep you busy for weeks.

Not played Democracy 3 yet, but I have Democracy 2. The same policies worked in every scenario no matter their political views. If its cheap enough I'll get it, otherwise I'm probably not missing much.

Tropico 4 is a great game I loved Tropico 3 as well.

The missions are great fun and very addictive.

Take a look at Anno 2070 IMO it is a masterpiece, and very in depth.

Tropico 4 is great if you're new to the franchise. If you're not it's basically just a re-skin of #3

If you really want to get stuck into something then try Europa Universalis 4. Great game.

Totally agree with this and would recommend it, I particularly like the music for Tropico it makes we want to put on a Hawaiian shirt and some sunglasses.
