I gave it two chances, and it failed twice.
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 it is its flashy cover.
Here are perhaps the most annoying problems:
- The sounds are disastrous: its like sound bites keep repeating themselves without overlapping, so you get something like "voice on radio - kitchen clatter - chatter - medical beeps - hammering - voice..... etc." AAAARG! I tried to disable sounds, and the game crashed.
- So I removed the headphones, but then I couldn't hear the alarms, but who cares because GUARDS DON'T PREVENT ESCAPES! They just watch from their towers or get stuck in their quarters.
- Ah, and the maintenance. Maintenance workers don't maintain unless you order them continually to take care of every single problem.
- Prisoners don't go to work sometimes.
- The interface is the worst of any game that I have played.
- Arguably no music
- Some prisoners labeled as "dog".
- Only three possible levels, two of which suck.
- Sometimes you'll get to Tier II in a day, and sometimes it never comes... and ranking up does NOT make the game more interesting.
Don't buy.
