Tropico 3 Absolute Power

The expansion came out the other day, I'm surprised no one on here has mentioned it. From the reviews I've seen it's gotten 4/5 stars, and it's only $19.99 on steam. I'm definitely purchasing next paycheck.

I definetly mentioned it somewhere, maybe the "bit of news" thread. Probably went unnoticed.

Well I downloaded it, I have to say it definitely fixes and makes the game better. But I can't say whether or not it's worth the 20 dollars I paid. That part is still up in the air.

Eh? More Tropico for 20 bucks; of course it's worth it.

Nah, can't say really, haven't gotten it yet.

I mean there are definite little touches that greatly improve the game, it's just the fact you're paying 20 dollars for 4-5 new buildings, 6 new edicts, a new campaign and a patch.

Although the one thing I do like is the fact you place road and if there's not any major buildings nearby it becomes dirt road.

I guess another good thing is that it has multiplayer, but I've yet to try it.

In general the game seems easier. It's funny I started my current Island as a communist paradise, I ended up going Capitalist in 1964 and I went from 20K exports to 90k Exports.

Plus even though I was closer with Russia, the US was paying 6,700K compared to the 5,400K the USSR paid yearly.

IIRC it has 10 new maps to play, same number as in the original. Doesn't seem like a bad price.
