Sunshine Bay vs Tropico 4
Sunshine Bay
Sunshine Bay is a resort simulation that that puts you in charge of a beautiful tropical paradise where the sun is always bright and shining and the skies are always clear. As the manager, it now falls on you to set up houses so you can attract passengers for your yacht cruises, build docks to house your luxurious yachts and piers to send them on their way to various locations around the world. There are many ways for you to earn the money and resources you need for these yacht trips and to expand your resort business though, including servicing other people's yachts and building commercial buildings.Despite its sunny tropical theme, Sunshine Bay is not your usual farm/city-building simulation and this is evident right from the get-go. The game is a resort simulation through and through, and if you think you'd enjoy playing it, be sure to drop by and give it a try.
Tropico 4
Tropico 4 is the fourth installment of the Tropico nation-building/simulation game franchise where you get to play as the all-powerful El Presidente of a tropical island country. This game is focused more on the politcal intrigue this time around as you'll need to play your cards right with your people and with the other global superpowers in hopes of keeping your power and of course, to keep increasing the size of your off-shore bank account. You can now appoint ministers to help you push through unpopular policies so you won't have to deal with the resulting fallout, and draft up national agendas to deal with challenges ranging from needs from your own Tropicans to an ongoing natural disaster that is decimating your population and your country.The economy aspect of the game has alos been reworked to allow for a robust trading system and to build economic ties with other nations. Tropico 4 is even more social media-linked, making it incredibly convenient for you to post your latest creations to either Twitter or Facebook with a click of a button.
As some of the fans have noticed, Tropico 4 is made slighter easier for new players to get into. Unlike the previous games where money can really be tight, the game's trading system opens up a whole new inflow of cash into your country in exchange for stuff you have too much of. It's kind of a win-win situation if you ask me, but some players might scoff at the reduced difficulty of this version of Tropico.
