Guide Review
Helpful or Not?
If you are looking for some help learning the basics of "Tropico," this is a great resource to have at hand. Although a lot of the information can also be found in the game's manual, the guide is easier to read, more organized, and has more details. In the margins, you'll find tips, warnings, and lots of screenshots. If you have a question about any of the buildings, citizen's needs, or help managing a part of the island, information can be found here. Overall, this is a great guide for beginners. Advanced players probably won't gain much, since much of it they probably have discovered through playing.
