I got the game prison tycoon recently.
I will probobly never get another tycoon game again, this one absolutly sucks. The idea is to build and run a virtual prison and fill it with inmates which are forced to work for you and make money. Agggg where do I start. Lets see there are only 3 count them 3 maps to build on and no editor to use and you cannot have Alcatraz Island like it shows on the front cover, just one in New York, California, and of course Texas.
So if you play free build mode you build a few things and wait for inmates to arrive. You will end up sitting for like 40 minutes and 2 guys will come in and mindlessly walk around your prison. If you click on them it says there name how old they are, there security level, and how long there sentince is. There is no background on them or anything so you have no idea what there in for which takes fun out of the game. So then you end up broke because your flat out of money because there is no way to get it.
For the sound there is 1 count it 1 boring music track to listen to which will loop over and over and over repetitivly. If there is a factory it will create so much noise that that is the only real sound in the facility. So you will end up playing with no sound at all.
The graphics horrible too. The prison guards necks have thease like horrible cancer or somthing that looks not only horrifying but rediculus. The characters are extreamely stereotyped, so only nerds are docters, only old men are janitors, and all the prisoners are either huge black men, hip hop black men, or slim shady looking white men. Also if you build your frikken prison well you would want good walls so they cannot all get out right? well its damn near impossible to do this because the construcion tools suck.
The only mentionable amount of fun is the REDICULUS over the top fights, if your inmates get pissed off they will fight. They will all walk single file to a fight zone and walk around like zombies until they cross paths with another prisoner or a guard. If two intersect they will fight the fakest brawl you have ever seen, they will fight one on one and fight until someone is knocked on the ground, and then they get back up and walk away, and thats that. Now if they fight a guard the guard will beat them half to death with a nightstick and then they will get back up and walk away injured. The guards win every single time aways and are totaly invincible. There could be 30 men fighting and one stereotypical guard will walk up and beat them all down. and then they will walk single file to the hospital unit and get magically healed in seconds. and thats that.
So I recommend no one ever get this monstosity of a game.
