  I bought Prison Tycoon thinking that I was in for an excellent construction/management simulator for a prison. However, this was not the case. Prison Tycoon is not realistic in any sense of the word. The graphics are,... Read Full Review

  Lost interest within first play

  By newlemming | Review Date: Aug 27, 2006 | PC

  I'm sorry to tell this to the Tycoon developers... who used to make relatively PLAYABLE games... that this one was a bomb. It's nothing more than a cheesy waste of time and computer storage space/memory. The graphics are... Read Full Review
