    This is a quality expansion pack. It adds a bunch of new (and much better) buildings to the game and a 12 mission campaign as well. My only grief is that the buildings require a "timeline" to use, so the buildings will only unlock and become available to build once you reach the required year in your game. This timeline also comes with some negative effects, such as an effect that lastsThis is a quality expansion pack.

This timeline also comes with some negative effects, such as an effect that lasts for a couple years where you can't hire any foreign specialists, among others. Overall though, you should pick this up if you liked the core game.… Expand

    was fun for a couple days, but did not take long before I uninstalled it. Lot of neat qualities with this game, cool soundtrack and nifty graphics. Wanted to stick with it longer but became a little bored.

    Modern Times is a good excuse to return to the familiar world of Tropico, but, frankly, the game has almost outstayed its welcome.

    The new scenarios are enlivened by the fantastic timeline system. [June 2012, p.97]

    Overall, I enjoyed the time I spent with Tropico 4: Modern Times. The add-on is lighthearted and breezy, and with all of the new buildings and edicts, you now have even more ways to build and run your perfect Caribbean island. Plus, since the campaign takes about 35 hours to complete (with sandbox mode adding more time to this), and since the add-on only costs $20, Modern Times is even a good deal, and so it's an easy game for me to recommend.
