Do you like building up a prison and haven't played the prison tycoon 3? Then don't buy this nor the third one since nethier have a tutorial so good luck in trying to play the game (Get prison architect instead save your money for that and a enjoy a more complex, better polished game which also has better graphics.)
Worst Prison simulator ever.
It brings me great shame to say that I bought this game. But you're probably going to look at my games list anyway and see that I have it. So I bought this game. Worst mistake of my life.

omg so bad you cant even rotate your cam
game is totally outdated do not waste your time, it's not a sharp game either everything seems to lag. Idea is great and it seems they have coevered all the basics but it can feel like a struggle just to find a guard and prevent a prison escape
I have never in my life wanted to make a prison as much as I have when I thought about buying this game six years ago. Now that I own it, I regret every cent I payed.
Another crappy game from a bundle pack that should have been retired instead of hastily ported to steam. The game is bad for a lot of reasons, but the biggest is its confusing interface. There isn't a tutorial mode, there are very few 'challenge' scenarios, theres no way of seeing when the next milestones are, building position seems to be irrelevant... The entire game is from another era - and while it might have some nostalgic value for a couple minutes, it definitely doesn't meet todays standards of a pay to play game -- it doesn't even hold up to most free games.
No... Just no
Okay but not great. Your money is best spent on another game.
This [i](and Prison Tycoon 3)[/i] are among my favorite Tycoon Sims for it's time, and even now I find myself going back to give it another whirl. I don't understand people giving this such a bad review, because they just simply don't know how to play it, or read the manual to learn how to play it. It's really not hard to grasp, [i]IF[/i] you read the manual. Yes, this game does not hold your hand with tutorials. You have to use your reading skills, and brain, then do some expirementing to put what you read to the test. Then you get a [i]"Oh, that's how you do it"[/i] moment. Like a City Sim, it needs your attention, and some micro-management. It's not a [i]"Set it, and Watch it"[/i] type of game, and that's where many go wrong. Buildings need to be cleaned, and maintained. Guards need to be assigned breaks, work, patrol specific areas, and sent to disturbances or guard tower duties. Prisoners need to be assigned bunks, meal times, visiting hours, and work duties. There's lots of scheduling, and tasks to do, and many can be set up automatically. Others need direct input. As for those that say [i]"Game is bugged/buggy."[/i] Stop playing on toasters. I never had an issue, even when I played it on an older computer using Windows XP.
