"Has *anyone* played POW?"

I posted yesterday but it got buried in an avalanche of stuff.

Has anybody played this game? I'm trying to find reviews for it but can't find any anywhere.
Somebody here must have it surely?

I will never mention it again !

Shhh, thats meant to be a secret.

Certainly have - go there most days.

I just know that Goaty is a bit finnickity when it comes down to personal hygiene and he is always a bit wary of what he might catch from some of the weirder inhabitants of these other forums.

Right I bought it at lunchtime from Sawbo.

It better not suck.

Yes, he has been there, as he is a loyal PS2 fan.

I dunno what game all the mags are playing but the one I am certainly aint linear. Put it this way. You have a big environment, the choice of which time you try and acomplish your task (which determines how many guards, visability, which part in the camp you are currently at ect) and basically there is loads of routes you can take. Some are more sensible routes to take than others but hey, the aim is to find the best ways. Also because this is more a 'start one place and head for another' game, then it could be just like GTA3's missions and no one said they are linear. Anyway, i've had my rant. :D

It is one I have considered for my PS2, however some of the magazine reviews have put me off a little. I was a great fan of the Great Escape on my Spectrum is this a similar game? or is it to linear and hard?
