What we have here is a MMORPG based in a maximum security prison. The game has been running since 2003 but until now has only supported the Spanish language.
The team behind the game has finally opened the doors to the prison to international english speaking players. From what I have seen of it with the vids on the website it is definately a bit different from the usual MMORPG's out there.
"Your first day in a crazy, maximum security prison is about to start! Forget swords and wizardry! This new online game is about FUN on the present-time!
The game is played exclusively over the Internet with other real players from all over the world.
Make your way from just a rookie to gang leader or boss, meet new friends and get a life while becoming stronger to gain real respect!
Live an amazing social experience that only this game can provide due its unique features and gameplay details.
Players unite, collaborate & fight creating their own gangs and ranks within the prison confinements.
Superior proven CHAT system, including +500 beautiful emoticons, multiple channels, colors, console, a full character set and more!
+2500 objects, +1600 non-player characters, 10 offences to choose, 38 skills to master, character customization and much, much more!"
