The Absolute Power expansion pack adds 10 more missions of varying difficulty, but the best part about it is the Megalomania edicts that are added to the base game missions and sandbox mode. Most Tropico series players will remember edicts such as: Free Houses, National Day, Lure the Rebels and the limited use Print Money, with resulting inflation. These edicts are only available in the missions or sandbox games if you have the Absolute Power expansion installed as well.

The Absolute Power missions range from 105%-171% difficulty, which is easier than some of the base game missions, which reach up to 200%. The 10 missions take about 15 hours or so to complete, maybe longer if you restart any missions. Combined with the 25 hours or so it takes to beat the Tropico 3 base game, these two titles add up to a lot of gameplay time, not to mention the replayability of the sandbox mode.

I’ve seen the base game 75% off during Winter/Summer sales, and the AP expansion was 50% off as well, both priced about $6 (CDN). Like I mentioned in my Tropico 3 review, I would only recommend playing the game with the Absolute Power expansion installed.

I don’t recommend the base game for Tropico 3 unless you also have the expansion pack Absolute Power. The expansion pack includes a new Edict Menu for you to use in both the classic campaign and the Absolute Power missions. These edicts are mainstays in the later Tropico games. Edicts such as: Free Houses, National Day, Lure the Rebels and the limited use Print Money, with resulting inflation.

I think Tropico 3 is a great game; it has some well developed islands and a fun campaign to work through (15 missions), but it feels like you have more control over your island with access to the Megalomania edicts through the AP expansion pack.

The game runs very smoothly. Occasionally it will lock-up the progression of time on the island, preventing you from unpausing or increasing the game speed. Saving and loading fixes that issue. Also, the mission Viva Tropico is notoriously bugged, where achieving 65% overall happiness will not trigger the end game. Save often in that mission and just reload until the game finally notices the stat.

I’ve seen this game 75% off during Winter/Summer sales, and the AP expansion was 50% off as well, both priced about $6 (CDN). I would only recommend playing Tropico 3 with the Absolute Power expansion installed.

a timeless game. It's hours of fun shooting and solving puzzles through well developed levels.
you can even play all the missions with 4-player co-op
make sure to try out mission pack 2: Dissolution Of Eternity for the new ammo types

Don't pay for the extra cosmetics, even when costing a dollar they are overpriced.
that being said, the 'Bright Idea' head does look pretty great with green skins

Fast paced racing action. This game is a great simulator to see how technical the operation of an F1 car really is. Not much of a change from F1 2019. Since the real 2020 F1 calendar was changed due to COVID-19, the career mode in this games follows the originally planned calendar for the F2 and F1 season.

Great game for avid South Park fans. With more easter eggs than you could ask for, this game also has a easy to learn combat system, which makes it really easy to jump into your first quest. I am running this game very smoothly on a old GT9800, so it doesn't require much to run. If TSOT is on sale, and you have seen at least 20 full seasons of South Park, you should strongly consider buying this.....you guys, seriously.

This game is even better on Steam. Destiny 2 is great as it was in 2017, the newest DLC Shadowkeep is really worth getting as well, you can always visit the moon without the DLC, but with it you get more chances to double you XP from events on the lunar surface. There are lots of players online since the base game is free to play, try it out if you like loot shooters!!
