  • Summary: Prisoner of War captures the intrigue, danger, and heroism of Allied escape attempts from prisoner of war camps during World War II, including Colditz--the Germans highest security "escape-proof" camp. As one of Germany's prisoners, Captain Stone, you'll embark on an adventure across Germany in a variety of different POW camps. Outwit the German war machine by crawling through muddy tunnels and over stone walls and using disguises and makeshift equipment to escape. In this third-person adventure, bravery, stealth, and cunning will win the day. Expand

  1. Despite the fact that this looks like a PS2 game and has come control and camera issues, the story (and the execution of it) are stellar.
  2. The prison camps are all highly detailed and full of things for you to find, figuring out the breakout is fun, some of the scrapes you get into with the guards are a laugh and, if you can handle the sheer frustration of getting constantly caught, you’ll find an in-depth and interesting adventure. But we do rather feel it could have been much better.
  3. Had it cooked a bit longer, however, this could have been a classic. [Fall 2002, p.118]
