"The OFFICIAL Prisoner Of War post."

Heres my Prisoner Of War post! To start us off I will write some info on the game.

Prisoner Of War

(http://www.codemasters.com/redirect DELETE ME!! /redirect.php?url=/pow/front.htm)

Pros +

-3 big areas to discover and look around + revisits to certain areas in different conditions.
-Lots of items to use.
-Unwinding plot that is discoved as the game progresses.
-Superior enemy AI said to be better than MGS2's.
-Lots of people to interact with including people that sell you items and let you play minigames.
-Daily routines that you must learn and adapt to.
-Graphics are clear and smooth.

Cons -

-Graphics may seem a little undetailed.
-A bit more linear than expected.
-No two player.
-Sometimes annoying camera angles.

My overall score 8/10




So theres the pros and cons. But how does it fair in certain catergories?


Graphics- Nothing great but they do the job and the day/night appearence is affective. 7/10

Gameplay- Very original. Deep down it is just another stealth but the idea and the way of portraying the idea is nice and new and a joy to play. 8/10

Sound- You do get a feel of your surroundings from the sound. Birds chirp and other stuff. Nice voice acting too. 8/10

Lifespan- The game may become a bit boring by the time you get to the end level but the story will keep you going. 7/10


Thanks for reading.

Now lets start this conversation!

Try cutting and pasting it in, 1 line at a time, it worked for me this way.

Just make sure it all goes in and there's no spaces and it should work.

Lad, your making me go misty eyed

I never thought I would be glad to see a speccy game

That game looks cool but I dunno where to go and what to do and also why does he walk around on his own without pressing any controls, or is that to show you the routine?

If I remember, and the new game copies this, if you leave the controls alone for a few moments the character reverts back to "normal" mode and follows the routine of roll calls, meals etc

Oh, thanks for that.

How do you pick up the parcels, i remember getting them and hiding them (in hiding place, don't wonna apoil it for others), but i can't pick it up.

By the new game, do you mean Prisoner Of War or the emulated Great Escape?

It sounds alright does Prisoner of War but Im not sure whether to get it or wait for Commandos 2 - Both games appeal to me and look great but I dont know

I think you will find you wont have to wait for Commandos 2 it's already out!! :D
