This is the best game I've ever played, its so tense that you have to carry on. If it was out of 100% I would give it 99% sucsess and 1% failture so basicly its thumbs up all around!

A GOOD GAME

THERE WERE QUITE A FEW NEGATIVE REVIEWS ABOUT THIS GAME, BUT BEING A WWII BUFF, I WENT AHEAD AND GOT IT ANYWAYS. I WAS NOT EXPECTING MUCH BUT THE GAME TURNED OUT TO BE VERY INTERESTING. IT IS NOT AS POLISHED AS THE NEW PS2 GAMES COMING OUT NOW, BUT THE GAMEPLAY IS VERY GOOD. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS, MORE SO IF YOU ARE A FAN OF THE MOVIE. ITS WORTH ITS TIME.

Amazing Game!

I bought this game before seeing the movie. I've heard good things about both. When I began playing - I couldn't stop! Each level offers something different - many unique escapes. The thing I liked most about this game is the stealth aspect and attempting to avoid being spotted. Sometimes you'll hear a guard mumble like he heard 'something' hence giving you an opportunity to move out of sight or try and find a better place to hide - it wasn't frustrating at all but still remained challenging right up until the last scenes.

Overall one of the best strategy and adrenilin games I've played in a long time.

5 stars all the way!

Kudos to Gotham Games - I hope they keep bringing us games like this one.

The Great Escape will be a great success

I have not played it,but ive seen the 1963 film starring Steve Mcqueen,and it was great.i just hope its not a plot to make money by naming it after a movie, like Minority Report.This review is dedicated to the 50.This game is based on movie based on a real escape from a nazi(left intentially lower case)prison camp that was "perfect" and no one could escape.Wrong!!!!!great game though

I love this game!!! It rocks!!!! As soon as i played it i had to buy it!! It's loaded whith stelth action and violence! it has it's downsides too. like you only get guns in a few levels. the guns you can get are:mp40,p08luger,sniper rifle,stengun,mg42,stickgrenade,panzerfaust,and an anti aircraft.also use your saves wisely.on easy mode you get 4 saves,medium, 3 and hard,2.also be carefull with guard towers.you get to be 4 characters. they each have there own skills. Basically if you like WW2,stelth,blood,guns,violence you'll like this game!!!

I have to tell you, the great escape is pur and simple fun.
Having purchased this game and played it many times and if you loved the movie you will truly enjoy the game. Being interrested in World War 2 history just goes to show how hard it must have been to escape from the prison camps. If you are wondering if you should buy it, i recommend it. The graphics are beautiful and the sound is great. 5 stars for THE GREAT ESCAPE.

Horrible

if you are looking for a game that is similar to MOH of Socom (I or II) or kill switch this is not the one. It is boring and you dont get to shoot things like the other two. Its a bad game thats should have never been sold.

You know, i am kinda confused by all the positive reviews. i couldnt' get into it from the start because of the awkward controlling scheme. The alternate patters for the controls also were awkward, so that alone hindered it. the graphics are also a little odd, and as hard as i tried, i couldn't get into the story, even though i loved the movie. great idea, just not executed well.

Interesting

i love the movie and the game is great and exciting except i wish it would be more of a shooter instead of just stealth and boring objuctives. i also wish you'd have more freedom in the levels not just doing objectives and moving on; the game goes really fast. Besides that the game is just what i expected. I'd give it a try if you like/are familiar with the movie otherwise don't beacuse you'd get confussed.
