More rum! More bananas! More so-called political prisoners held on barely tenable pretexts! Oh, it's good to be El Presidente. Some people might call you a fascist dictator, but you just like having things done your way. And you really do know what you're doing, after all. Is that all really so unreasonable?

The time is yesterday and the Cold War is in full swing. Through means devious and dubious you have seized power in the Caribbean island country of Tropico, where you now rule as the all-powerful "El Presidente". You decide whether you want to use your army to secure your power base in the best traditions of corrupt, unscrupulous tyrants everywhere or lead your people to prosperity in your role as generous elder statesman.

Try your hand at being a fascist dictator benevolent leader then, with this Tropico 3 demo. Goldens only, of course. Even banana republics have standards.

Oh, and if you're wondering when you'll see it locally, we've confirmed with the local distributor, Apex Interactive, that the Xbox 360 version will be out this Friday, November 20, for a RRP of R599.
