"The Great Escape is based on the classic 70's movie of the same name. During the war the Nazi's decided the best way to cut down on escape attempts was to transfer all these "Bad Apples" to one camp, the camp that they claimed could hold anyone. In doing so the nazi' brought together a group of POW's with only one mission in life."
Overall: This is a really fun game! No doubt. There
are some quirks and bugs, but not enough
to take away from the overall experience
of the game. Bottom line is, if you liked
Conflict Desert Storm, then definitely play
this! You'll love it. Gameplay: It's a mixture of Conflict Desert Storm,
Prisoner of War and Splinter Cell. There's
stealth, fighting, shooting weapons,
driving getaway vehicles. It's a blast.
You've got to think a lot which is
good...some levels have been very
challenging so far. You'll be stealing
enemy uniforms to go undercover,
sneaking around, destroying evidence,
driving vehicles...a good overall mixutre of
gameplay elements to keep you sucked in. Graphics: OK. When I first bought Conflict Desert
Storm, I nearly shot myself! I thought at
first the graphics were horrible, but the
more I got into the game, the less that
became so critical, because the game
became so much fun. Same goes here. The
graphics have improved since CDS, but it's
still not a jaw dropper. Lots of detail and
some dynamic lighting, but sometimes the
textures get a little low-res for my tastes.
But the fun factor will have you
overlooking the graphics. Sound: If you've played Conflict Desert Storm,
you'll have already heard the soundtrack
to this game. They ripped some of the
same background tracks out of it and put
them right in this game. Sound is good.
You can also use your own soundtracks
from your Xbox. Suggestions: Smooth out the character animations and
camera movements. Other than that, I love
what you guys are putting out...can't wait
for CDS2!!!
