Prison Break Game to Launch March 30

Prison Break the video game was first announced last October and now Zootfly/SouthPeak Games' take on the popular TV series has a release date: March 30.

There's still not a lot of information about the game. It's going to be set in season one, when Michael and Lincoln were in Fox River. However, you'll be taking on the role of a Company agent sent to Fox River in order to figure out why a fine, upstanding citizen like Michael got sent to prison in the first place. Don't worry, you'll get to interact with many of the shows characters (more Bellick!!) along the way.

The game will set you back $49.99 on Xbox 360 or PS3, and $39.99 on PC. Hopefully we'll see a demo before launch.

    Graphically looks worse than crysis on linux/wine.

    Man, prison sucks. Why would I want to play a game about it?

    If this beats Butcher Bay I'll be really surprised.

    this game doesn't have a single compelling element. (setting, graphics, interface seems like it may be choppy)
    if i want to play a game where i have to sneak and whatnot... i will just play Metal Gear.

    Man the series was over all good, I hope the game can compensate for what the series lacked and its general weaknesses.

    as a straight guy (like most ppl), i'd be much more interested in a game titled "women's prison break-in" and play as the company agent :)
