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!

Good review mate. Waiting for my GAD so I can experience the pleasure. I will probably run around trying to get shot at first as the lead character is an American after all.

Played this after buying it on Natbuc's review and recommendation.

It's great fun.
A tad hard until you get into the flow of it, managed eventually to escape the holding camp with a grade B and am now at Stalag Luft.

Cheers for the recomm.

To get to the next camp it will probably take you another half hour depending on how hard you find the final task.
