1.0 out of 5 stars Please do not buy....., October 4, 2006
This review is from: Prison Tycoon 2: Maximum Security (CD-ROM)
I am an avid tycoon player. I have all of them, even the ones people are not too fond of.I always give them a chance and even if the controls are bad, or the graphics are not too good, I still enjoy. This one is the exception. WASTE OF MONEY.....PLEASE DO NOT BUY. The controls are horrid, the managment of prisoners is so boring, and there is no zoom in and out.
The manual is on line....What??? Why would you do that? If you are like me, and always give games a chance, please dont get this one, unless you find it on here for like 1.50. I dont even think it is worth the shipping though. So please do not give them any more money...Boycott this game.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of money, December 21, 2006
By 
Al Camp (Candia, NH USA) - See all my reviews
= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Prison Tycoon 2: Maximum Security (CD-ROM)
I've have enjoyed playing dozens of simulation games. CaesarIII, Sim City, Tropico, Startopia, Civ 1 & 2, Railroad Tycoon 2 & 3, Children of the Nile, etc... etc... All of them provided hours of enjoyment, unique challenges, and unique solutions.

I can not ascribe any of those attributes to Prison Tycoon 2.

I tried for days to find some logic/strategy in the gameplay(heck, isn't that the point of playing sims?. I went to the PT2 forum to see if I could glean some gameplay advice (there seems to be none). I finally just gave up on PT2.

Cleaners don't clean, factory workers don't work, doctors don't doctor, guards don't guard... yada yada.
It just appears as though there is no "AI" involved in the game at all. Actions don't appear to be related to consequences.
You know... you tweak something, and then wait to see what the reusulting effect is. Hmmm... that was good. Ooops... that was bad.
In my opinion, that's how the player develops a strategy to acheive the goal/s of any sim game. Without control over causes and without related effects, the user is just idly watching an unfathomable sceneario play out... as your money dwindles away, you're prisoners riot and kill each other, and guards stand around watching prisoners escape.

Let me put it this way. For ~$19.95 there are many, much better, sims out there. Save your bucks on Prison Tycoon 2.

2.0 out of 5 stars Boring and Graphics SUCK!, August 18, 2007
= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Prison Tycoon 2: Maximum Security (CD-ROM)
I love tycoon games and even catch myself buying any game with the word tycoon in the title. I being in law enforcement thought Prison Tycoon would be kind of fun but was dead wrong. It takes WAY too long to get prisoners and i seemed to be sitting around staring at the screen with nothing going on in the game for large amounts of time. The game had a huge lack of things to do and options to play. In sandbox mode you only have a choice of three locations with a select few number of buildings to choose from. This game is just really REALLY boring and really slow!
