Reception
The game has received generally positive reviews and holds a 77/100 score on Metacritic based on 28 reviews (78/100 on the PC). Most critics had praised the title for its addictive gameplay, great sense of humor and the excess of variety. However a number of reviews had cited Tropico 4 for bearing too many similarities to its predecessor, as well as a lack of innovation. GameSpot commented that "Tropico 4 is a likeable and engaging sequel that expands on its predecessor but doesn't offer much new depth." IGN stated that "if you�re the type that's spent hours with the likes of Civilization or SimCity, or has an unhealthy need to be in control, then it�s time to become El Presidente."
