SimCity 3000 vs Tropico Reloaded
SimCity 3000
SimCity 3000 is a pretty old-school version of SimCity. However, aside from the aging graphics, the game is still pretty fun to this day. The game provides you with 13 challenging scenarios to play in or you can simply hop into its sandbox mode and enjoy building a city whichever way you like. There are also "fun" (for you) disasters that you can unleash onto your poor Sims, obliberating homes and high-rise buildings alike. With more buildings (landmarks specifically) than ever, SimCity 3000 is a great step-up from the previous and is a testament to the old-school version of SimCity... and well, just in case you have an insatiable craving to play an older version of the SimCity, SimCity 3000 is a game you can play.Tropico Reloaded
Tropico Reloaded is a strategic nation-building game that may feel a little like one of those really in-depth city-building simulation games. However, playing the role of the leader of a banana republic rather than simply being the mayor, you have a wider reach and influence over your people - you can choose to rule with an iron grip or with benevolence - and also the ability to amass an army to defend your said republic from external invaders and internal dissidents. Of course, you can also choose to be corrupt and set aside some funds for your swiss bank account.The game's expansion, Tropico: Paradise Island allows you to not only bring natural disasters on your people but also build tourist attractions as you open up your country for others to visit and of course, to bring in tons of cash. This reloaded version even includes Tropico 2, which will see you ruling over a pirate island as the Pirate King.
Tropico lets players enjoy the fun of managing their own country in their own respective ways much like a simulation game would, and yet, there is also a strategic element to it as you'll need to lead your armies or pirate crew to defend your people from time to time. This game may appeal to fans of city-builders or people who have always imagine themselves leading a nation.
