    Great sound, great idea and a great game. Mouse sensetitvity can be annoying, and enemy A.I is generally very good. The graphics meet the average to great standard. All in all a good ww2 game.

    I've only made it to the 2nd chapter, but I am already bored. Getting through each level involves little more than learning the proper path to take in the camp, and then learning how to avoid being spotted by guards. That's pretty much it. Graphics are good and the voice acting is decent. Just a little too tedious for my tastes.

    After I completed all 5 chapters, I thought: Prisoner of War is the perfect stealth game.

    The best game of it's kind. I love it as much i loved the great escape and pilot down. The difference is that this game is totally stealth and the is no weapon whatsoever to fight the Germans. All you do is sneaking and hiding, which makes it unique. There is a lot of dialogue but it's alright. Very good sound in general and i love the weather changes while playing.

I played it on pc and ps2 as well.… Expand

    I played this on PS2, so it ran a bit worse but still, this game was a lot of fun. The stealth mechanics are pretty good for its time and the game really makes you go strategically. It has some annoyances to it due to being a bit outdated, but for the most part, its a great time. I give it a 8.0, since its not amazing but still a pretty good game.

    The game isn’t about guns, action, blood and mayhem. It’s a game dealing with stealth in its purest form.

    Sneaking around the camp is a joke. Toni Kukoc has more defensive skill than all these Germans put together...if it weren't for "Tsunami 2265" putting forth such a solidly bad performance, this would be my pick for Worst Game of the Year.

    The game feels cheap and unfinished, from the very first load screen to the very end.
