Prison struggle is an turn-based roleplaying game (you use energy and brave to do various things and when it runs out you have to wait for it refill again). You play this game in your browser. You start out as a prisoner and work to train your character to become strong, powerful and hopefully rich through various means. For those familiar with the genre it is your basic gym training, crime doing, gang joining, moneymaking game.
I love this game and think it has a lot to offer people and it has a fun and active community.
what i like
Design
nice site design and easy navigation. I love their graphics they look really cool
they are also constantly working on improvements to the game
Voting
Decent number of sites to vote at to give you generous rewards to assist you in your gameplay
Game community
active chat, friendly people, fun gangs, decent forums
Fun Stuff
mega slots always payout - i have always come out ahead on them,
plus there is a 1:5000 chance in getting a nice prize item
grow weed - become a pot farmer - own land, then grow and sell weed - Recurring income!
searching the prison yard - you get 100 free searches each day and you get lots of money and sometimes you find items.
play the stock market - as long as you buy when the stocks are at $10 and sell when they are anything above $22 you will double your money or more - and the stocks always go above $10 eventually. So if you don't mind tieing your money up for awhile its a good moneymaker
Economy
is not out of hand so you aren't instantly mega-rich which is GOOD - provides a sense of accomplishment - unless of course you just buy donator stuff with real world money and then sell them - then you can be rich without actually doing anything LOL
Player search
you can save different search parameters - convenient feature.
Banking
provides interest daily on your money
Easy Bank Deposit Link
there is a deposit link on the main page so you can quickly deposit your money into your bank account and keep it out of the hands of those grubby muggers!
No Loss of Experience
when you fight and lose you never lose experience.
When you are Beaten and Hospitalized you are still mobile
You can go anywhere in the game except do crimes or go to the gym.
while you are hospitalized (this happens when you lose a fight) you can bank and sell and travel and pretty much do everything (except train at the gym or do crimes) while your on-hand money is protected because you can't be attacked. Nice! (don't worry you don't lose any experience by being hospitalized except being stuck in the hospital for 10 or 20 minutes)
Number of Players Online
this looks to be pretty popular there is always a few hundred players online at any one time
what i don't like
Hospital and Jail time
no items to get yourself out of the hospital or jail. In the jail people can bust you out so you never have to wait for long. In the hospital it kinda sucks, all you can do it wait for the time to run out.
Gang pages are lacking
they don't have gang forums in the gang page so communication between gang members is awkward. There is a "gang mass mail" option though.
No gang crimes -
what a bummer Gang crimes are fun! i don't know why they haven't implemented something like this. Maybe in the future...
they just added gang crimes today! (april 10) they are always working on updates. That's is so great!
Hall of Fame only shows Top 50
too bad...i want to know my ranking....even if its 572!
are these guys reading my mind? LOL they just added rankings - they show were you fall in the top 1000 now. Awesome! (april 11)
Tutorial is so-so
Conclusion
After 2 months i am still playing this game and most of the people i have met have been cool and decent. Its a fun game, they are constantly working on improving it and I think it takes work and patience to get ahead, bringing a sense of accomplishment from improving your character.
