Prison Break: The Conspiracy

2010

Overall rating: 2.5 out of 5

Prison Break became a smash hit when it first aired on U.S. TV networks, and if you ask plenty of fans out there, the first two series were among the best in the entire run of shows. So it makes sense to recall those heady days of the Fox River State Penitentiary when making a game based on the award-winning drama. Unlike most tie-ins, which follow the action scene by scene whilst adding the odd gameplay sequence, Prison Break: The Conspiracy's storyline is exactly the same as the first series of the TV show... only from a different perspective. The man you take control of is a Company agent named Tom Paxton, and he is sent undercover to discover the motive for Michael Schofield's curious arrest. The game features both action and stealth elements, as Paxton makes his way through different cliques and groups in Fox River and engages with friends and enemies. Climbing skills are required to escape and infiltrate various areas of the prison via air vents and warehouse departments, while many tough guys will try to rough you up a bit and offer opportunities to lay some smack down. Prison Break: The Conspiracy features all of the writing competence and action-packed sequences of the very first series, so get ready to get behind bars ? and behind Michael Schofield's plan.

easy game with easy trophies

Based on the tv show, the game is a weak stealth action with poor fighting sections. The graphics are ok and the gameplay is very simplistic, it points where to go and you sneak past the guards and broken with the odd fight and QTE event.

You can complete it on easy in less than a day and get most of the trophies.

Bad game

By a customer , 11 May 2013

The TV series is amazing but unfortunately the game isn't. I just wish the game was as good as the TV series.

Prison Yawn

By Griffter65 (6 reviews) , 28 Apr 2013

Painful, wasn't even one of the main characters. Too much fighting, too much jumping around and stuff. Too quick to complete. Quite boring.

not that great

By ConFue (1 review) , 31 Mar 2013

The game is prety good at first, ok graphics and an interesting story line, but the game gets a bit repetative and you tend to lose interest. 2 & 1/2 stars

Dont waste your time.

By awesomead29 (6 reviews) , 26 Jan 2013

I will normally give a general and helpful review on most games. But just do not waste a rental slot on this. Probably the biggest fan of the series, its just nothing to do with it. Its just a sneak and climb game and don't get caught, it's just vile.
