Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« All the added features of the nicely-priced expansion pack provide an absolutely enjoyable and unique city-building gaming experience that will keep you entertained each and every visit you make to the sunny beaches that make up the sultry and sometimes dangerous paradise of Tropico. »
« This expansion improves on all aspects of the game from basic mechanics to the soundtrack. »
« Kudos to the development team for speeding up the build times, including a plethora of new structures and edicts, and adding even more great tracks to the excellent soundtrack. »
« It really does fix most of the main annoyances even if some issues are still prevalent. The new additions and the new fantastic music all are worth the time to experience. »
« Tropico was a great game, and Paradise Island does exactly what you want from an expansion--it makes it even better. »
« If you enjoyed the lethargic pace of Tropico, you will likely find Paradise Island a decent enough expansion, but if you couldn't bear the seemingly endless waits for each building to be constructed, this add-on doesn't provide enough to make it worth a second try. »
« If you enjoyed the tourism aspect of the original game then this add-on is a definite must for you. »
« Tropico has a great Caribbean soundtrack, and the visuals are colorful and for the most part well animated, even if they look a little blocky sometimes too. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« The absolute best city-building game I've ever played, without exaggeration. From overarching policy shifts such as encouraging the populace to eat better, to micromanagement specific enough to assassinate individual citizens, this game truly has everything I could want in a sim. »
