Game play

The player takes over the management of the island " Tropico " as a mighty pirate king. In this part of the series it is the task of robbing as a privateer ships of other nations and to take prisoners. On its own island, there are two populations, pirates and prisoners who live on the island. Due to the different needs and desires - Pirates like anarchy, prisoners rather fine - it 's hard both to place on the island as the pirates need the prisoners as workers (for example, in bars or cannon production ), but the prisoners also must provide. Thus one has the task of bringing pirates and prisoners in line on the island and also prevent the prisoners from the island escape, if they do not have enough fear of the pirates. The game has been expanded to a strategic map of the Caribbean, to which the player 's pirate captains pretending destinations for different orders. In summary, the gameplay of Tropico 2 can best be described as mixture of Sim City and some Pirates! describe.

Reception

Part 2 did not reach the sales of its predecessor. Also the numerous good reviews (80 % at Gamestar ) could not prevent the failure.
