The Escapists 2 is a worthy successor to the highly popular The Escapists. The improvements to the overall look, feel, and sounds of the original make this one very much worth picking up.

Plenty to discover, but tedium sets in quickly, particularly when faced with an abrupt loss of progress

A great sequel that refines and improves the original prison break format with more variety, better graphics, and some fun multiplayer.

Local OL Split Screen Co-op DOES Work.

I just wanted to chime in to provide some clarity to a lot of the reviews complaining about multi-player. Incase anyone is in the same situation I was in and was hesitating to buy the game because they didn't think it did what you were wanting it to do. I wanted to play local, offline, split-screen co-op on a tablet PC with two controllers and the players sitting side by side (couch co-op) and the GOG version does this perfectly. I do not ever use the GOG Galaxy client so all of my installs are with the Offline installers. I can't vouch for playing with a friend over the internet or on a LAN since I didn't play that way but couch co-op, split-screen with each player using a game controller works perfectly. Not sure why some people keep using the phrase "local" when they are referring to online multi-player over the internet.

Big scam, everything but drm-free

Can't play the game, even on LAN without authenticating via the GOG Galaxy Client. It is a huge scam, avoid if possible.

TOO CONFUSING...

Look; out of respect to the developers of this game,, this game is too...CONFUSING. If this was accurate to prisons, and I was a prisoner, I'd quit TRYING to escape IMMEDIATELY, and start being a "puppeT" to the guys in charge, simply to avoid being in trouble...because this game's CONFUSING. Honestly? I'd rather play a less lighthearted prison break simulator, where I could actually KILL the guys in charge, so I could break free...as long as it's kept fairly clean. Otherwise? I'm best off not playing prison break video games, at all. My advice? This game's TOO HARD AND CONFUSING; DO NOT BUY THIS VIDEO GAME. And most of all, you're better off SPENDING THAT MONEY, on a video game controller. SERIOUSLY!
