    Poor Michael Scofield – The Prison Break TV series is much better than the game, although you get to hear at least the original voices. The repetition of gameplay elements is annoying and the dull story really breaks the game's neck.

    Despite the stiff stealth/fighting mechanics, the mission's linearity and the trial/error experience, Prison Break: The Conspiracy somehow ended up being enjoyable. I'm sure Zootfly could have done something much better, but in the end, the final product was purposely done with the intention of giving the fans something incredibly easy to play.

    Fans of the TV show may get some enjoyment out of this title, but anyone else will want to steer clear of Prison Break.

    Overall, Prison Break: The Conspiracy is a very well made game, however certain elements feel forced and contrived.

    Prison Break brings trial and error, a poor story and awkward controls. Lock it up and throw away the key!

    The television series is great, but the game isn’t. The main aspects are stealth gameplay, fighting and quick time events. Only the stealth part works in this game, the other two don’t. The graphics are nice and the audio is fine. The voice-acting could have been better, but overall it’s good to listen to.

    A sub-par stealth game. [May 2010, p.96]

    Overall, Prison Break – The Conspiracy should have been a fitting tribute to a very clever TV series, but turns out to be falling more in line with the final series – a big anticlimax.

    ZootFly had good chances with Prison Break: great characters, a fascinating setting and a good plot. It's all still intact, but sadly the gameplay is completely pointless. Clumsy stealth sequences aside, what's left is some dumb brawling and unrewarding fitness. Better save the money and go back to enjoy Scofield & co. adventures where they belong, on your DVD player.

    The Conspiracy might not appeal to fans but to a Prison Break virgin, it is surprisingly good. Yes, there are flaws and it won’t win any awards but it should definitely at least be rented. Even just for the simple trophies.

    Prison Break: The Conspiracy shows you in the right way the whole prison and the story of Michael. Unfortunately the graphics scores far below and the gameplay is a little disappointing. These are the factors, the final grade of this game is nearly enough.

This game already had a good plot as its straight from the TV series, but that just isn't enough as the gameplay is about as enjoyable as a nosebleed.Please for your own sake stay away.… Full Review »
