"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!

ITS GREAT! Seriously, it's a lot better than I thought it would be. The graphics are smooth and no jaggies :D
Controls are also smooth and the AI is superb.
You can also run into objects and make noises which I like doing :D

I think quite a few of us have (I have :D) but SR seemed to only get it in stock on Friday so it hasn't arrived yet :(

Is POW out yet? damn, must rent it to see if its any good.

Prisoner of War is coming out on PC - yay! But not until 30/09/2002 - damnit! Ah well...

*Sigh*

Nobody still bought it ? - I can see this game has been popular with SR customers (not !)

Havent actually got the game yet, but i saw some dude in my local game having a crack at the Xbox version of the game. Looked pretty good actually, tehn i had a quick go. I dont know if its the same for the ps2 but the controls are a little annoying, you have a massive area to discover, and its funny annoying the german guards.

I got shot first time for going in the death zone :(

So has anyone got the game yet? Is it anygood?

Ah thats good then incase you get lost. Although surely this will be a problem when you leave the controls alone when your hiding? Anyway I haven't got mine yet still waiting for the postman to come...as usual :(
