About

Prison Break: The Conspiracy is a tense action title based on the hit television show. The protagonist of the "Prison Break" game is Company agent Tom Paxton. He is sent to the Fox River State Penitentiary to find out why Michael Scofield (the hero of the TV series), a man without a previous criminal record, became a bank robber. The storyline runs parallel to the first season of "Prison Break": Paxton encounters several characters from the series and experiences key events from his own perspective. With a gripping storyline paralleling Season 1 of the critically-acclaimed FOX TV series, Prison Break: the Conspiracy will take you inside the Prison Break world like never before.

    When it comes down to it, the clunky controls lead to bad gameplay which is ultimately boring and uninspiring. In the end, the game just isn’t fun to play, and is more frustrating than anything else. There’s a reason why Prison Break: The Conspiracy will only be bought by the Prison Break Wikipedia page manager–it just isn’t that good.

    With unsatisfying stealth, puzzling logic, and simple-minded combat, there is almost nothing in Prison Break that is actually fun. That the lock-picking minigame is the highlight just shows how lousy the other aspects truly are in this game. People who have never watched the show should stay far away, but fans should stay even further away. Playing the Conspiracy can only tarnish your memories of the source material.

    I'm not a fan of the Prison Break video game and it's hard to believe anyone could be. Licensed games can get away with a lot, but this doesn't even reach mediocre quality, with its core mechanics becoming woefully boring a fraction into the campaign. Without any gloss to paint over the rough stealth gameplay, there's really nothing here to recommend. Avoid like it's the soap dropped in the communal shower.

    Prison Break: The Conspiracy bares comparison to Batman: Arkham Asylum in more ways than one might expect: the confined prison setting provides a focused stomping ground for a variety of interesting objectives, the hand-to-hand combat relies on well-timed countering, and the tense elements of stealth gameplay are incredibly well constructed.

    The events of Prison Break: The Conspiracy run concurrently with those of the series first season. It's outcome is the same they escape and it doesn't reveal anything that will please fans or cast new light on the show's characters or plot lines.

    And that’s about all that we’re prepared to say about Prison Break: The Conspiracy – a lazily cobbled-together, bargain basement piece of shovelware that deserves neither your time or money. While it’s a 10/10 for laughs that never get old, The Conspiracy is funny for all the wrong reasons and should therefore be avoided at all costs. In fact, compared to this, a long stretch in the slammer suddenly doesn’t seem so bad.
