Prison Tycoon 2: Maximum Security Reviews

The concept is cool, build a prison, stop riots, hire guards, but it is done terribly. I have played all the prison tycoon games and this one isn't the worst, but it's definitely not the best. Right off the bat in free play mode finding the option to build prison fences is difficult (it's sort of hidden). Also, you get your first prisoners at random, so once you've built your prison your in limbo waiting for your first few inmates to show up. In challenge mode, the game just sucks, period. The challenges are decent but, man does this game get boring. The biggest flaw of all, the one that makes this game only 2/10 is the camera angle and its controls. You're zoomed in really close and after playing this game for 3 hours I could not find a way to zoom out or change the angle. When you're zoomed in as close as this game puts you, construction is hard because you can't see what your overall prison looks like, you see it in chunks. In conclusion, just don't get this game, it is terrible.
