Could anyone tell me if Prisoner of War, or Enclave are any good? Can anyone give me any scores they have recieved from the press?

I've heard that Enclave is smoother at 50hz.
I always play at 50hz - I don't know if it's my tele but 60hz always seems to make graphics slightly blurry and causes slowdown. It was the same with games on the DC.
Anyway, I'm still looking forward to Enclave - should arrive on Monday [hopefully].

Enclave looks quite good.
I have heard POW has poor framerate...

combat is very repetitive...hack...pull back...hack...pull back...hack...maybe stick up your shield (which doesn't block all the time)
the treasure hunting aspect and extra playable characters could lead to replayability -i've only got 3 of the playable characters so far.
still not really sure of what to think of it...i mean it's okay but as before it's not GREAT...

From what I've seen the graphics look top-notch, especially the woodland areas.
One problem I might have is that there are no mid-level save points.
Dying near the end of a level and having to restart at the beginning can be a pain in the ar....

Aw beanz, you've just popped my bubble of great expectation.
But then again, low expectation usually = an enjoyable game that turns out better than expected :)

i've got round to playing enclave a bit...and my first impression is:
it's merely mediocre...i mean it isn't REALLY bad...but then it isn't great either :(
ahh well another disappointment (sorta) -i was expecting a real corker of a game

OXM gave POW 7.2/10. It got a better score than Enclave which only got 5.8/10. My guess they're wrong [again].

yeah i haven't been very impressed with the game from the start...hasn't got rave reviews but then i suppose it hasn't got really bad ones either...

Prisoner of War was on my list (albeit on PS2), but having seen the game running, I don't think I'll be bothering.
Not only does it look tedious, but the graphics are also poor - on Xbox as well as PS2, according to garbe.
