Amusing, time-wasting fun

Like the original Tropico game, this game is a fantastic time-waster when you just need to kick back and have a good time. Tropico 2 is a simulation game where you are a pirate captain ruling over your own little island in the Carribean. Each level of the game brings extra challenges, allowing you to learn the game as you go along. The storyline is quite silly and perfectly piratey. If you're not interested in running the campaigned storyline, there's a "sandbox" mode, where you can just grab an island and see where it leads. If you've played the original Tropico game, you'll be able to jump right in-- the graphics and gameplay are the same. Yarr!

Could've been better

While there was some good information in this book, I was hoping for more behind-the-scenes info. The advertised 'stats of every ship' is nothing more than screen shots of the vessels and buildings that you can get out of the in-game help.That being said, it does have some good techniques for multi-ship cruising and tips for the campaign.
