    The Great Escape is an enjoyable, thrilling and suspenseful accompaniment to the classic film.

    Retains the feeling of the film, and should be worth a look if you are a hardcore Steve McQueen fan or a fan of the movie looking for some nostalgia. However, the gameplay doesn’t have enough going for it to warrant a purchase from someone hoping for a deep stealth action title.

    This game should really be called "The Rather Mediocre Escape." [Nov 2003, p.116]

    Sadly, it's patently obvious that the programmers focused heavily on the stealth elements, leaving the other aspects like combat, weapon balance, and AI inadequately unattended.

    Rather than feeling like a mastermind escapologist, your actual role resembles that of an errand boy collecting the pieces of a pre-scripted plan. Yet while nothing here really shines, the overall package is solid enough to counter our gripes. [Oct 2003, p.114]

    Feels unfinished and thrown together.

    The game's biggest annoyance - the finite nuber of saves allowed during each mission. [Nov 2003, p.140]

    Poeple don't like the amount of stealth and think there should be more weapons. I have a different opinion.

    If you're after a decent WW2 stealth game set in a POW camp, get 'Prisoner of War' instead.
