    This game is better than the last two.

    You have the option to send the guards into riot mode, to lock down either a building or the entire prison. You have multiple jobs, can reassign cells, and can change the pay of guards as well as tell them to do certain... Read Full Review

    This Game Is Horrible

    By SBusc41144 | Review Date: May 05, 2008 | PC

    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 recrea... Read Full Review

    I gave it two chances, and it failed twice.

    By Salaco | Review Date: May 15, 2009 | PC

    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

    PT3 is no "Prison Break", but it does an OK job. Where's Michael Scofield when you need him.

    By Wooby | Review Date: Mar 22, 2008 | PC

    The premise of the game is interesting, but certainly, they did not reinvent the wheel here with the game mechanics and U.I. The camera controls could stand to be refined and the way you navigate through your Maintenance... Read Full Review

    The game is unplayable

    By Dark_Zagatu | Review Date: Feb 17, 2008 | PC

    Believe me guys I tried... even with the last update the interface is so annoying and primitive and the logic of the game is so retarded that I simply couldn't play it. I can't build a prison as I want it, even a simple ... Read Full Review

    Last time I played the game it crashed and the controls were horrible it seems they finely fixed some major issues.

    By mystery42 | Review Date: Dec 13, 2007 | PC

    This game is a great improvement on the last two for once they fixed the crashing that was so annoying in the first two games. Second, the controls are much easier I will admit they still need some work but they made th... Read Full Review
