You can now click on a soldier’s rank insignia to access his skill ratings from the arming screen convenient when you’re trying to decide who should get the best weapons or how much equipment each operative can carry. There are a few minor changes in Terror from the Deep, but even these aren’t really improvements. It makes Terror a little more challenging than UFO Defense, but since equipping your ships and soldiers is one of the few tedious aspects of the game, it also makes it more frustrating. That means you’ve got to be sure you have a wide variety of weapons, and that you choose the right ones at the beginning of each mission. Certain weapons in Terror, like the Hydro-Jet Cannon or the Torpedo Launcher, won’t work on land. The only real change in gameplay springs from the fact that you’ll be fighting the aliens on land as well as under the sea. Hangars are Sub Pens, and Missile Defenses have become Torpedo Defenses. The Motion Sensor is now the Particle Disturbance Sensor.
The Sectoid aliens are now the Aquatoid, in keeping with the game’s primarily undersea action. New graphics, sure, and some new names, but they’re just thin disguises for the same weapons, creatures and technology that appeared in X-COM. The twist - and it could’ve been a good one - is that this time around the aliens have traded in their UFOs for submarines and are attacking us from the world’s oceans.
You’re back in command of the Extraterrestrial Combat Unit, once again defending the earth from alien invaders. Some fans loved it, some hated it, but no one thought it superseded its predecessor. Gameplay-wise it was nearly identical to the first game (even including underwater… grenades?), albeit larger and, according to some, more difficult. The sequel, Terror from the Deep, was set some decades after the first and took place mostly underwater or in coastal locales. The first X-COM game, UFO Defense, occurred on land. Tropico 3 is a strategy adventure that challenges you to run your own Caribbean paradise.Despite the underwater shift, Terror feels more like a skin graft. The Latin-Caribbean style soundtrack adds the final touch. In fact, Tropico 3 has quite a surprising humoristic point of view that makes it really fun to play. Tropico 3 doesn't really stand out for its original story or its amazing graphics, but it does have an innovative perspective as regards strategy games, which are usually set in more serious scenarios. You'll be able to walk around your city, build all sorts of constructions, check your popularity rankings and of course, rule the city and pass laws according to what's best for your citizens – or maybe only for yourself! The demo also includes a tutorial that walks you through the basic functions and gameplay. The game includes a wide variety of missions and covers many different types of businesses – basically everything you need to run a city: natural resources, facilities, communications, and more.
