In Prison Break the video game, you play as "Tom Paxton", an undercover agent for The Company, during the first season of the popular TV show: Prison Break. Now for those unfamiliar with the story behind Prison Break, it's about 2 Brothers; Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows. Lincoln was framed by The Company in the murder of the Vice President's Brother. He was put in jail, found guilty, and was given the death sentence. His brother, Michael believed him, and got himself thrown in jail to break his brother out.

Tom Paxton (who, is a character exclusive to this game. He did not exist in the show) is sent undercover into the prison to keep an eye on Lincoln, and make sure Michael Scofield doesn't interfere. He spends the first half of the game, sneaking around the prison, keeping tabs on the brothers and reporting back to his boss. The second half, he spends, trying to figure out why someone tried to murder him, take them out, and get himself out of the prison alive.

There were several things that I did and did not enjoy about the game. The sneaking around mode was decent, however some of the times I got caught a guard was not even looking in my direction. The fighting system is too simple, and easily button mashed. Several of the characters in the show looked identical in-game, and the actors who played them lent their voices (Michael Scofield, Fernando Sucre, Lincoln Burrows, C-Note, T-Bag), however many of the main characters didn't... Charles Westmoreland, Sara Tancredi, Haywire all were nothing alike to their TV Show counterpart. The achievements in this game are easy with the exception of one. It required 2 playthrus, but since the game is short (around 3-4 hours) it wasn't too big of a deal. If you're big on Gamerscore, this is easily 910 GS in one shot, and 1000 if you're willing to play the game one more time.

I was one of the biggest fans of the series, but the game has too many inconsistencies from the show itself...Also it didn't help that the game came out in 2010...And the first season of the show finished in early 2006. The show itself ended in early 2009...A bit too late in my opinion. It's definitly not worth buying, even for the most Hardcore Prison Break fan, but I do feel it's worth a rent if you were watched the first season.

After watching the show religiously on Netflix and loving it, I thought this game would be fun. I guessed wrong. It's very boring and hard to move around. Everything is about moving slowly and stealth in this game, but when you move, sometimes the controls get "stuck" and you can't move to hide in another spot when an enemy is around. I also don't like the view over the shoulder. It's awkward. I got quite a few achievements pretty quickly on my xbox, but I got stuck in this one spot and I've tried at least 10 times to get out of it and there's no possible way...and that's on the easiest setting! Ugh! I may try it again someday, but no time soon. It's getting sold on E-bay when it starts collecting dust!!

game is pretty fun I like it. It probably is more fun to me because I loved the show. For me its neat to see the characters from the show. It's fun it's more a game about being sneaky it's a lot of stealth and not being seen, which I enjoy. For the price it's worth it especially if you were a fan of the show.

This game is a blast. and if you saw the show, you will be so happy to see a game like this.
Combines awesome stealth gameplay with an entertaining storyline. and i picked this up for 15 new
at gamestop.

My husband and I are HUUUUUGE fan's of the tv series Prison Break, so I got him this game for christmas. It's a very simple game, not very hard for someone who plays other more popular games often, but it was a great game to own if your really into the show!

In this game your Paxton an agent with the Company put in Fox River to stop Micheal from breaking out Link. If you've seen the first season you'll enjoy how they manage to tie in Paxton nicely with the story line. The game play is a lot like a child version of Splinter Cell. Most of the time your sneaking past guards doing little errands to move along the story. Game does get a little annoying when you know you can't do anything to the guards. You do have a pic lock but that's basically it. There is a pretty basic fighting system in the game. Using A for weak punch X for a strong punch and Right Trigger for blocking/reversing. Overall I would of rather played Splinter Cell, but if your a fan of the show I would suggest playing it.

The game is great. It really helps bring back all the memories from watching the actual show. Great job on this one.

At first I was a little unsure of how a TV show based game would be, but after playing it is definitely worth a look. I am a big fan of the show, but I had a fun time playing for it's strategy and voice acting.Prison Break

It is a game meant for adults, not children. I like the game it has a good story and I hope they make a season 2 or part 2.

When I got the game, it came on time, its condition was fabulous, and it was easily opening. I couldn't wait to play it when I got it in the mail. When I played it, the first thhing I noticed were the terrific graphics and the teerific missions. The thing that I loved best was the stealth action is the game.
