El Presidente hates his advisor

Got to try the demo for Tropico 3 on the weekend. I wrote a while back about my experiences with the old Tropico. Now that Tropico 3 is about to be released (Sept 24 over in Germany and October for the rest of the world), the biggest difference between these 2 games is basically the graphics. No more simulated 3D but a real 3D environment is presented here. The premise is pretty much the same with the first Tropico, you now the leader of a small Caribbean country. There are several missions which you can undertake or just play in a sandbox mode and set goals for yourself.

Well, there's one thing I hate about this game is the voice of my advisor. I remember the old advisor voice in Tropico was much better now he sounds like a used car salesman trying to fake an accent. When doing the tutorial mission (cool foot shaped island by the way), every time my advisor delivered his lines, it was annoying. What was his name again? Primitivo? Good thing I only heard him over at the tutorial.

The cool new feature that this game adds is that you have an avatar in the game. Your avatar can walk around the streets and even give speeches on your balcony. Though now I wonder if there's a revolt and you need to escape, do you have to rush towards the docks for your boat?

Again like my first take on Majesty 2, I feel that it's pretty much the same game as Tropico 1. Yet if you like the series, there's nothing wrong in getting this game as with Majesty 2. It's got better graphics and little new features.
