This game isn't even worth renting. It is so boring. You have to try to get past the German guards and everything you try to do gets you in trouble. Don't waste your money.

this game is definitely not wut i expected

Ok so i went up to the movie rental place expecting to get medal of honor frontline or maybe conflict desert storm, but to my surprise they hadn't even bought them. So, I look around...I hear harry potters a good game, but thats just not me. I pick up this one and it looks fun and from things I've read about it it even sounded like it would be fun. The truth is i got bored after the first 15 minutes. No joke. I figured u might be able to like atleast jump the fence and get cut with barbed wire and maybe run for a little bit getting chased but it theres barbed wire then you're not goin over the fence. If a soldier sees u all you have to do is hide in a bush even if they're right next to u all of a sudden they have no idea where u went. The worst part of this game tho besides the fact that u cant choose what u want to do in the order you want to do it or you have to go through hundereds of roll calls...is that you cant use guns. the best you can do is stones and ive thrown hundereds of stones at the guards but you cant kill them. So u get caught and spend one night in jail or get shot and spend the night with the nurse. Ok so next morning...same routine all over again. This is a boring game unless u just like sneaking around looking for things. It could have been much better

this game is definitely not wut i expected

There are a lot of weak games out here but this game just about puts the mustard on the hotdog. I aint played a weaker 3rd person view action game(suppose to be action) than POW. For real man, I'm not even playing. Microsoft should stop letting people make these weak ass games. It's games like this that make me want to kill somebody. This game is so cheesy, man, it don't even make sense. They gone make the cover look all serious like it's good. DO NOT BE FOOLED. This game is broken.......completely broken.

really pointless

You do nothing. You are just a prisoner. the germans have sniper rifles and other german guns. you have nothing. i am not saying you have to use knives, crowbars, hands, etc., etc. You can not fight. All you do is take some plans, avoid the big guys with the guns, and talk to some guys in a REALLY bad camera angle. So it is pointless. I am giving it back after one damn day.

i was so excited when i saw this game. I was thinking, "Hey maybe i can sneak into a German stronghold, steal a Lt.'s clothes, strangle him (or something to kill) and start shooting. But no, all you do is walk and get shot. Do you die? No, you go in the nurse's office. This game sux.

Not What You Might Expect

This game got everyone's hopes up for a realistic "prisoner of war" scenario. What you get is a preset plot with no divertion. Your viewpoint is nonchangeable and rigid. When you "sneak" about the guards can see you and your character looks like he's bopping along the screen-its very funny to watch. All in all not a game I would want to buy.

Not As Good As I Thought

Set during World War 2, Prisoner of War drops you into the role of an Allied fighter pilot. Shot down over Germany, you are captured and placed into a P.O.W. camp. Using only your wits and a little bit of stealth, you must escape from the camp. Easily the biggest problem with the game is the lack of interaction with the game's enviroment. Out of necessity you can explore the camp, yet everything you find is mere window dressing. The only items you can touch aer those apsolutely necessary to the plot. As a result the game is forced down a straight path. Another bad thing is if you pick up an item you can only use it at a certain time. In the end, Prisoner of War is a great concept that never quite delivers on its immense promise.

GREAT FOR THINKERS bad for shooters

POW is is a great game! Voice acting is terrible, but that's its only major flaw. The idea is great, but no action. You can't get a gun and kill a guard or blow up the German barracks. This game is strictly stealth and espionage. I have a lot of fun with this game but if your a "Return to Castle Wolfenstein" fan, this game is not for you. If you would rather think how to get around a 10 foot wall instead of blowing it up, you would love this game. Rent or buy it!

Awful, awful game

Anyone who could give this game more than 3 stars must have worked on creating it. I have no problem with strategy games. The problem with this isn't that it's a strategy game, it's the fact that the game is just plain awful. Everything that has already been said is right; Controls = awful, graphics = awful, story = awful...it goes on and on. I think I do have to say this is the worst game I've ever played. I was hoping to be executed to put myself out of this gaming misery.
