Love it + a few ideas

I LOVE this game. I've only beaten 2 levels and got stuck on the 3rd level. I wish it would tell you ALL the possible ways to escape ranging from easiest to hardest. Also I read that the inmates on the PC version will basically do what you say if you have there trust. Only other things I'd like is to make the inmates more intractable like have them craft/find thugs over like a days period and you pay them with cash or respect. Other than that love the game. Keep up the good work

Buddies?

So, I love this game and it's really good for speedruns.

However, I have two problems.
1. On Xbox and PC versions of the game you can have prisoners follow you and attack for you if they like you enough but when I try and do everything I can do make them follow you they just won't. Please add this.
2. The second thing is a bit petty but I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem you see I'm a speed runner and so I got this game in June and by the time July came round I had completed all the prisons. This is because the game has a lack of content compared to PC. The other reason I have to back this point up is the fact that the Xbox has a few minor difference that make it hard to copy speedruns from other people playing Xbox. Guard duties are one of those things because guards with certain keys don't do the same things as the the guards on Xbox.

Great game

I love the free updates. Way better than on computer where you have to buy the prisons. So hard, but so fun!

New update needs improvements

Awesome game but the most recent addition "banned camp" is a real hit and miss. I don't know if it's intentional but you can't break ANYTHING except the walls of inmate cells. You can't get into the job areas without a key or without having the job (no posters anymore) and you can't cut any fences anywhere. You can't even escape via prison takeover because the nunchucks have been so nerfed and batons have been buffed. All prison takeover does in this prison is open the Doctor area which isn't very useful. Chocolate is almost impossible to find as is the generator. The main gate doesn't appear to have a door and there is no obvious method of actually escaping without maybe digging under the main gate. This is a 5 star game but this new prison really takes my opinion of it down. Very frustrating. The only reason I still give it 3 stars is because the rest of the game is so perfect. I'm sure everyone who plays this would really appreciate a patch update as soon as possible. Thanks team :)
