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.
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.
An okay game

I hired this game and it's good. The graphics were not polished just before it was released because they were working on Conflict Desert Storm 2...was well. You get the great bits from the movie when they were going through that man made tunnel to escape(it's tense if you watched the movie)and the infamous bike cene and when the guy guides the person that was blind in the train and many more.

This game is great! It has really good graphics, just about as good as the cover. The levels are challenging too. The controls are pretty simple when you get used to them. I really enjoyed this game a lot. I would recommend this game to anyone who likes games that are challenging, sneaky, and about war. This game is great!!!

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!
What a fun game!!

I loved this game, I really did. Even on the easiest setting, I found it frustratingly hard to progress at any speed, often I'd find myself playing the same level again and again until I worked out how to defeat it. That, to me, is half the enjoyment of playing the game.
Ok so things aren't perfect but I can live with the slight nuances that the game has (the Ashley-Pitt-walking-in-circles glitch is my favourite).
Cool audio samples from the original movie only improve the game-playing enjoyment. Thoroughly recommended.
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.
VERY FUN,HECK NEARLY AS GOOD AS MGS3:SNAKE EATER!

The Great Escape is nearly as good as MGS3,to me this game is better than any Splinter Cell game-I ain`t a SC series fan anyway,its better than Mission:Impossible:Operation SURMA-a SC clone.Its just about nearly as good as MGS and Hitman.Its based on the early 60`s movie-The Great Escape.The movie is mentioned in Snake Eater ironically as the Major,Major Tom(i won`t spoil MGS3) names himself after one of the tunnels,anyone who watched the movie would know that "TOM" was one of the unlucky tunnels.
It weird that some of the movies mentioned in MGS3 have a game,as well as TGE also 007 From Russia With Love is mentioned,.and there is a 007 FRWL game now.Next there will be "It" Came From Outta Space game!
Bye.
