prison tycoon 2: maximum security [Posted on 2006-11-13]
this game rocks, i loved playing all of the scenarios and the sandbox mode is awesome. I love to play tycoon games and i didn't like the first prison tycoon that much. this one is way better. The only problem is that the controls are hard and there is no zoom. Other than that, this game is great!
Waste of money [Posted on 2006-12-22]
I've have enjoyed playing dozens of simulation games. CaesarIII, Sim City, Tropico, Startopia, Civ 1 & 2, Railroad Tycoon 2 & 3, Children of the Nile, etc... etc... All of them provided hours of enjoyment, unique challenges, and unique solutions.
I can not ascribe any of those attributes to Prison Tycoon 2.
I tried for days to find some logic/strategy in the gameplay(heck, isn't that the point of playing sims?. I went to the PT2 forum to see if I could glean some gameplay advice (there seems to be none). I finally just gave up on PT2.
Cleaners don't clean, factory workers don't work, doctors don't doctor, guards don't guard... yada yada.
It just appears as though there is no "AI" involved in the game at all. Actions don't appear to be related to consequences.
You know... you tweak something, and then wait to see what the reusulting effect is. Hmmm... that was good. Ooops... that was bad.
In my opinion, that's how the player develops a strategy to acheive the goal/s of any sim game. Without control over causes and without related effects, the user is just idly watching an unfathomable sceneario play out... as your money dwindles away, you're prisoners riot and kill each other, and guards stand around watching prisoners escape.
Let me put it this way. For ~$19.95 there are many, much better, sims out there. Save your bucks on Prison Tycoon 2.

Boring and Graphics SUCK! [Posted on 2007-08-18]
I love tycoon games and even catch myself buying any game with the word tycoon in the title. I being in law enforcement thought Prison Tycoon would be kind of fun but was dead wrong. It takes WAY too long to get prisoners and i seemed to be sitting around staring at the screen with nothing going on in the game for large amounts of time. The game had a huge lack of things to do and options to play. In sandbox mode you only have a choice of three locations with a select few number of buildings to choose from. This game is just really REALLY boring and really slow!
Lots of bugs - gameplay is basically broken [Posted on 2007-12-10]
I love simulation games of all types and thought the premise of Prison Tycoon II sounded really fun. Unfortunately, the game has so many bugs that I was never able to enjoy it. Prisoners walked through brick walls, guards wandered aimlessly without interacting with anything or anyone, etc. I've installed all available patches, but it looks like the programming is just broken. It's a shame - if the company had gotten the game to actually work before releasing it, I think it would have been a lot of fun.
