Could have been way better

User Rating: 7 | World War II: Prisoner of War XBOX
In prisoner of war, you play as smart-talking American Airforce Captain Lewis Stone. Your objective: escape from a German prisoner of war camp without being killed by enemy soldiers.

What attracted to me to this game was the premise: a game whose entire plot, revolved around ESCAPE, not killing, not fighting. ESCAPE. If you're like me, you might think this sounded intriguing... Or at worth the risk of checking out.

If you're interested enough to do so, be warned: Prisoner of War's graphics are about two years out of date. The voice-acting is good- to embarrassingly bad (especially the voices of the enemy soldiers), and the tutorial is non-existant, which makes navigating the game at early levels a challenge.

Pros: Cool idea, some fairly decent modeling for Stone, and other characters.

Cons: German soldiers have almost embarrasingly poor accents. Clunky interface, poor console controls, repetitive cut scenes, etc...

Overall, I would consider POW only average. Gaming fans who like 'stealth' based games like "Thief" might enjoy this one.
