Prison Tycoon for Windows

Pros: the idea
Cons: everything else

Usually for pc game reviews I order everything into categories so that anyone wondering what a particular part of the game is like they can just scroll to that part. However for this game I'm no doing that because it is a complete pile of junk no matter ...

Pros: The concept, setting up the buildings and furnishing them
Cons: Too slow to bother with, no action

When I saw Prison Tycoon, I had to have it. I am a huge fan of the Tycoon game series and so I bought the game without thinking twice. The setup was interesting, the concept was great. I was looking forward to starting my first prison! The controls ...

Pros: Fun game, great blues music, play warden and deny paroles!
Cons: Better have a good graphics card! Otherwise it crashes!

I got a new PC, installed this game, and it will start working and you can start playing but it crashes. Tried my OTHER new PC and the same thing. I then tried 3 different PC's at my friends' and whaddya know.. crashed each time.

Based on the 15 minutes I've played this game, I have to say it was quite fun. This game is video graphic intense on your video card so if you have nothing but the best in video cards, don't bother.

I am a tycoon/sim hound so I am always looking for fun tycoon games. I did swear a little when my PC's kept crashing but this only gives me an excuse to get a better video card. The game lets you play warden/guard/parole board all rolled up into one game. I found the game fun when trying to design the prison and denying paroles. It has blues music that plays which fits the prison genre. The game was fast to load easy to install and quite easy to figure out.

Pros: Easy to install
Cons: boring, graphics not that great

We bought this game thinking it looked neat. You can design your own prison, hiring staff, and putting furniture in buildings, and seeing what the prisoners are up to. It is a very basic game. It is not what I expected it to be. The graphics are very basic. It is a game that gets boring after about a day. You basically do the same things over and over. I would save my money for another game.

Pros: Looks fun. In depth such as designing the inside of buildings as well.
Cons: Crashes constantly at same point for me. Deleting towers.

I would be hesitant buying anything from ValuSoft. Tech. Support is terrible. By email only and thier support consists of putting water on disc "to remove static". Please. Game does not work. Crashes a lot and they cannot figure out why. they said they would get with programmers. Have not heard back and they won't return emails now.
