military and espionage

i just finished unlocking all the levels of this game, so i feel qualified to give a good review. i loved this game! there are about 15 levels to go through, and the last two with mcqueen on the motorbike was awesome. the hardest thing about this game is knowing where to go and what to look for. once you have that, the levels are easy (after you figure each level out). it is a great challenge. i loved the characters and the variety of scenes are breathtaking. one scene even has a shootout on top of a train! very well designed with great graphics, this game was far better than the movie. it may be the best WW2 game of all time. thanks, gotham games.

Some people will find the most of fun in this game. For me on the other hand, no. The graphics are quite impressive, but the controls are terrible. The levels are quite different, but the same thing. Find something, use it, keep it, get caught, run, die. It's hard, but I like a good challenge. Another bad thing about this game is that you can't get away punching a guard. If you puu punch one, all the other guards gang up on you and start shooting you. It's stupid. Then you use stealth. The stealth is good, but sometimes, very unrealistic. As an example, there's one part where to exit a part of a camp, you open a door that's right next to the guard. Then you crawl in front of him and he doesn't give any sign of paying attention. Either that guard is stupid, or the game wasn't planned correctly. I think it wasn't planned correctly. If you want a good stealth game, get Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell. I own that and think it's great. But it is extremely different than The Great Escape. The movie is much, much better. Rent it, and if you like it, take a chance. I don't reccomend this game.

This game is ok... not the best I've played by far, but it only cost 20 bucks. It's a far cry better than "Prisoner of War". At least in this game you get to kill some Nazis.
I personally like the sneaking around scenes. The shoot out scenes are troublesome. You can't aim very well and in like most games, you have to shoot the enemy several times to kill them(how real). A frustrating part is sometimes you can get stuck between objects, like table and chair, and can't get loose(but you're going to break out of a prison camp, hmmm?).
There are some fun things to do, the little puzzles to solve are kind of fun, and you do get pretty good clues of what to do next. There aren't a 1000 hidden items to find. Everything is pretty cut and dry, meaning you probably won't need a players guide to get through. Some of the shoot out scenes are a little frustrating, until you figure out it's just easier to run like crazy and dodge bullets to get to your goal. One cool thing I like is sneaking up behind the enemy and choking them(It's so much fun, I do it sometimes even when I could just sneak around them).
As far as the graphics go, it doesn't look as good as other games I've played, but they're ok. If you're a fan of the WWII genre, you'll probable like this game for the price. You don't get to snipe enemies like say in Medal of Honor, but the levels aren't as long. You're not constanly running out of health hoping to find a med-kit. You do get to ride a train ride motorcycle, and drive a few vehicles. I think for the price it's a good game, I don't regret buying it, like I did with Prisoner of War. Oh, on the easy mode, you get 4 game saves per level, and less saves in the more difficult modes. I personally like unlimeted saves, but some are better than none.
If it had cost $50 I would have been a little angry, but at $20, that seems about right.
