Most of the main characters feature, although some only make cameo appearances and there are a few notable omissions.

Fans of the show will baulk at the introduction of a character who wasn’t seen in the show, and wonder why they aren’t just playing as Scofield or Burrows, or any of the other friends they make while on the inside. The game, bizarrely, casts you as complete unknown, Tom Paxton, an agent for The Company, who has been sent in undercover to guarantee Burrows gets the electric chair and to make sure the brothers aren’t up to no good – which they are. This involves him getting sent down, then using an elaborate tattoo to break free. Not good news for him, but luckily his genius brother, Michael Scofield, stole the blueprints and conjures up a way to break Linc out. He’s sent to the high security (although you wouldn’t think it) Fox River Penitentiary to serve time before facing the electric chair. Wide-shouldered hard man Lincoln Burrows is set up for the murder of the vice President’s brother by a shady organisation known as The Company. If you’re not familiar with the TV series, it was a fairly simple set up. Presumably both terms are prison code for boring and tedious. Early on you’re asked if you want to do your time the hard or the easy way. Prison Break: The Conspiracy is an utterly terrible video game. Perhaps, like Sony’s decent PS2 24 game, this would at least deliver some simple fun. With most of the cast from the hit series lending their voices and appearance to the game, and a story that runs through the show’s first and best season, there were signs this might be something to get a little excited about. It’s somewhat odd that a Prison Break game has been released in 2010, a year after it disappeared from our TV screens, and a long time after it was at the peak of its popularity, but here it is.
