  1. Prison Break - The Conspiracy is an okay stealth-action-mix but only for the fans of the TV-series.
  2. Gameplay mechanics are probably boring on the long run, but fans of the TV show will surely like the way developers handled this license with a new side story and character.

    First off this game is a lot more enjoyable if you have watched the series (or at least season 1)
    You take control of an undercover agent in fox river penitentiary, sent to investigate Michael Scholfield.
    The story of the game revolves around the events that unfold in season 1, it is put together well and the outcome is an amazing story that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
    Gameplay is somewhat average, involving a basic cover to cover stealth system, and very simplistic fighting mechanics. It was nice to hear the dubbing done by most of the original actors, but characters seemed too lifeless. You will often see scenes from the series play out in-game and realise that you are sometime a cause of those events or deal with the aftermath. Overall a solid story with good twists but gameplay seems last gen.
    9/10 for story, 6/10 for graphics, 5/10 for gameplay.

    Mediocre is the best way to describe this game. It's very average across the board and would really only appeal to hardcore fans. The stealthMediocre is the best way to describe this game. It's very average across the board and would really only appeal to hardcore fans. The stealth system works well enough but lacks any imagination. Getting spotted is instant game over. Theres also a simplistic boxing mechanic for the few action oriented portions. I'd suggest giving this game a rent if your a big fan of prison break and feel like sneaking around some of Michael Scofields old haunts. Full Review »

    As a fan of the show, I was happy about this console release. Sadly the game is way too short and repetitive. Overall rating: 6.3.
