    After having completed The Great Escape I was told that there was another similar game out there called Prisoner of War. This title is even older than The Great Escape and was released during the early days of the PlayStation 2 and Xbox. It mostly went under the radar with the general audience, but the game honestly does introduce some neat mechanics that don't work all that well because of lack of budget or time. It's yet another game that takes elements from Hitman and Metal Gear Solid where you have to perform certain tasks like acquire documents or guard outfits without being seen. The cool thing here however, is that the game has a daily schedule that you need to take into account and many of the objectives can be completed in different ways. The worst thing about the game definitely is the presentation with awful looking character models and really bad voice acting.

    This game was freakin' hard for its time. Remembring being in Stalag Luft without knowing what to actually do, not even knowing how I actually got there.

      The reason I bought this game was because back in the day in a playstation magazine, there was an entire walkthrough for PoW. I read the guide numerous times and I really wanted to play the game!
      How naive I was, thinking it would be a walk in the park... Still, it remains as one of my favorite games of all time!

    I kinda dig the jank. Like the PS2 freezing for a split second right before a character speaks every line, or the occasional audio glitch like duck noises or snoring becoming very loud. The awful voicework almost feels intentional, like it is satire of old ww2 movies with actors faking accents. The games moments of deliberate and unintentional comedy also keep the mood light.
    I remember playing this a lot when I was a teen, I remember reading guides and also doing challenge runs such as escaping the first camp with the kitbag, or escaping all camps in 5 days or less. I am sure there was also a challenge for not using disguises but I do not remember if that includes exceptions for things like calling the bombers in chapter 4 or not. There was also the 'cheat' that set you to always alert the guards even if you were doing nothing wrong, for added difficulty and challenge.

Would prisoners come and go? Would the dialogue change? Would you eventually hear the allies getting closer coming to save you?
