This Game Is Horrible

I just got this game and unfortunately this is $20 I just blew. This game is simply horrible. The guards do nothing but hang out in the buildings, the inmates spend time in the mess hall, in their bunks, or in the recreation areas even though they are supposed to be working. Your maintenance staff let building decay without working on them. And the guards let prisoners escape even though they are 3 inches from where the prisoner is climbing. There are also no explainations for some of the icons like gangs, there is no way to punish inmates i.e. put them in the hole, ect. And the more guards you have, the more you have goofing off. Also, when a prisoner jumps the fence, that's it. It's totally impossible to apprehend them.

Now, usually in a 3rd installment of a game, it improves but this franchise is worse then when it first started. And the gameplay is no different from the original. In fact, with no ability to click and drag, you're pretty much worse off then the first game.

    I bought it. I was happy - I mean, 20 bucks isn't much for a game. But this is not a game. It looks like a prototype for apprentice programmers, so flawed that you soon realize that the only thing that made you bought... Read Full Review
