Patrician 2 or Tropico 2

[Makeo]

I just bought both on a 2 for 1 deal. Which should I play first? Which is better?

[DrSpike]

I'd go with Tropico2.

[Asmodean]

Jydging from what I've heard - and bear in mind that I've only played Patrician II - I'd go with that one. Most posters here have posted negative comments about Tropico II.

Maybe except Spikey??

If you have the Patrician 2 addon, it's a decent game. Never played Tropico II.

[DrSpike]

Well Tropico 2 probably is worse than its predecessor with the expansion, but Patrician2 I didn't like at all. Overall I'd say I hope Makeo picked this combo up cheap.

[Makeo]

No not too cheap. My store has a ten day return policy though.

[DrSpike]

May as well get some play in before the 10 days run out, to see if either of the games grabs you.

[Makeo]

Thats the plan.

I have heard nothing good about Tropico 2, that's why I went with Port Royale over it (very good game). Patrician II and Port Royale seem to have very similar engines.

Course they're finishing up Patrician III and Port Royale II right now.

[mrmitchell]

If you have Tropico I, it probably isn't worth getting Tropico II.

Don't know about Patrician though

[Ecthy]

Get Tropico 1 and Patrician 1 instead

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

I picked up Patrician II for $9.99 and hope to try it soon.

[Makeo]

Its still on my hard drive but I have returned them both and now have hearts of iron, shogun total war and close combat invasion normandy

[DrSpike]

Some older titles, but definitely an improvement.

[Asmodean]

I've actually never played Shogun. Is it any good?
