MENA Gamer - Where Game Begins

Ridgewood, NJ, July 20, 2011 – El Presidente, the beloved sovereign of the island paradise of Tropico, is inviting everyone to take a closer look at his wondrous nation today with the release of a new batch of screenshots from Tropico 4. Download the new images to get a closer look at Tropico 4’s interface, environments and stunning graphics on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and on Windows PC.  For more information about Tropico 4, the upcoming city-building game for the Xbox 360 and Windows PC, please visit www.worldoftropico.com. 

Tropico 4 sees you return as El Presidente, the tyrannical (or benevolent) dictator of the island paradise of Tropico. The world is changing and Tropico is moving with the times – geographical powers rise and fall and the world market is dominated by new players with new demands and offers – and you, as El Presidente, face a whole new set of challenges. If you are to triumph over your naysayers you will need to gain as much support from your people as possible. Your decisions will shape the future of your nation, and more importantly, the size of your Swiss bank account. 

Tropico 4 features all new missions across new maps and includes exciting and fun new features to keep the action fresh and challenging. You can even elect ministers into power to help get your more controversial decisions passed through the government. But remember to keep your friends close and your enemies closer as everyone has an agenda! 

Tropico 4 also brings a new level of social interaction with the addition of Facebook and Twitter integration (Windows PC version only). Post comments on Twitter directly from the game and have updates go out when you complete missions or unlock new achievements. You can even take screenshots of your island and post them on your Tropico 4 Facebook page and compare your interactive Dictator ranking on the online leaderboards. Every little bit helps when you are bringing your island into the 21st Century!
