Pros

Impressive mix of politics and economics.
Interface strikes a perfect balance between automation and micromanagement.
Colorful visuals.
Groovy Latin American soundtrack.
Fun Caribbean setting bleeds charm.
Moral grayness leads to some interesting problems (and solutions).
The original series brought back to life in a superb way.

Cons

Needs a more detailed tutorial to explain the game's unique concepts.
A number of interface issues.
Not much in the way of gameplay advancements since the first Tropico.
