Not good, strategy doesn't work too well on consoles. This could affect the PC version negatively. Well, at least it's not a fast-paced RTS... Maybe it won't be that bad. And maybe I should try the first Tropico that's been there collecting dust for several months already :P

Anyway, I want to walk those streets in the game.

Oh, and thanks for realizing the difference between 'exclusive' and 'console exclusive'.

@ the exclusive comment. It doen't matter anyway, because being on PC will NOT affect console sales. Look at Mass Effect. Especially number 2. If M$ market ME2 right the 360 will see a boost in sales. PC never affects 360 sales.

And Halo WArs, Civilization and most this gen strategy games disagree completely with the doesn't work on consoles claim. Fell C&C3 had better controls to use than say some adventure games have for their genre.

Offtopic: Though Civilization IV has ten times more content than console versions because managing all that would be impossible with controller. Yes...RTS games work somehow with controller but mouse is still a lot better.

Ontopic: Looks interesting. Maybe I will buy this to PC if it gets good grades from critics.

there's a difference between RTS games and games like Tropico - RTS relay mainly on your timing and how fast and precise you can do somethin(that's why mouse is important but not as much as people may think). games like Tropico, Sim City, Hotel Giant, Capitalism are more a simulation than a strategy(business simulation, city-building simulation etc.) and are much more deeper and relay more on actual strategy, planning, management and thinking than standard strategy games like Starcraft, Red Alert etc.

games like Starcraft and Halo Wars are like Burnout Paradise - simple, casual and mainstream while games like Capitalism, Tropico and Sim City are like Gran Turismo or Forza, niche, deep, complex and difficulty.
