    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    First off this game is a lot more enjoyable if you have watched the series (or at least season 1)

    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.    … Expand

    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 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 feelMediocre is the best way to describe this game.

    Haven´t watched the series and got Prison Break: The Conspiracy as a present. The game has nearly nothing to offer. Lazy gameplay, boring story and clunky controls destroy the interesting setting.

    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.

    Prison Break - The Conspiracy is an okay stealth-action-mix but only for the fans of the TV-series.

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

    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.
