The Great Escape Reviews
Who would buy such a game that has a replay value of 0. The Great Escape is how you are supposed to try to stay away from being a prisoner at a jail. They people at EB Games said it would be $.75 because it would be considered a trade in, no wonder. The graphics are bad, the controls are bad, and the game is not even fun. I stopped playing after the first 5 minutes and wanted to return it. DO NOT BUY. That is what all games are, but this game has a bad way to doing this. I am sorry for the people who created this game because they did a terrible job of doing this game.
everything. Next it might a little bit more better if they gave any clue where to go.
nothing. Goods:.
besides those problems the crontrols are the worst. DON'T BUY THIS GAME.
Bads:. Where do I start, ok first the missions suck because almost half the game you hide behind boxes where your standing right next to the guard and your completly visible so that makes AI horrible.
My friend bought this and I went over to play it I thought it would be fun but boy, was I terribley wrong. Example: xbox-"Press y to hit." Me-"Theres a sleeping guard I better hit him." Next thing you know your jumping and you wake him up and you fail and have to start all over.
The stealth is good, but sometimes, very unrealistic. If you puu punch one, all the other guards gang up on you and start shooting you. Rent it, and if you like it, take a chance. I think it wasn't planned correctly. Then you crawl in front of him and he doesn't give any sign of paying attention. Find something, use it, keep it, get caught, run, die.
Then you use stealth. Another bad thing about this game is that you can't get away punching a guard. I don't reccomend this game. The graphics are quite impressive, but the controls are terrible. The levels are quite different, but the same thing. For me on the other hand, no.
It's stupid. It's hard, but I like a good challenge.
I own that and think it's great. If you want a good stealth game, get Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell.
Some people will find the most of fun in this game. The movie is much, much better.
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. But it is extremely different than The Great Escape.
Either that guard is stupid, or the game wasn't planned correctly.
I think for the price it's a good game, I don't regret buying it, like I did with Prisoner of War. At least in this game you get to kill some Nazis. You do get to ride a train ride motorcycle, and drive a few vehicles. You don't get to snipe enemies like say in Medal of Honor, but the levels aren't as long. It's a far cry better than "Prisoner of War". I personally like the sneaking around scenes.
This game is ok. 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). 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). If you're a fan of the WWII genre, you'll probable like this game for the price. Everything is pretty cut and dry, meaning you probably won't need a players guide to get through. There aren't a 1000 hidden items to find. 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.
As far as the graphics go, it doesn't look as good as other games I've played, but they're ok. not the best I've played by far, but it only cost 20 bucks. The shoot out scenes are troublesome. 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.
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. Oh, on the easy mode, you get 4 game saves per level, and less saves in the more difficult modes. You're not constanly running out of health hoping to find a med-kit.
You can't aim very well and in like most games, you have to shoot the enemy several times to kill them(how real).
It's very much in the spirit of the movie, which fans like me appreciate very much. You get to be different characters throughout the game with different abilities. This is one of my favorite X-Box titles. The Great Escape is a well-done video game. The only negative thing I have to say about the graphics is a minor comment that not all of the characters look quite like their movie namesakes. The levels are quite different from each other, set in a variety of locations ranging from a bomber aircraft in the sky to a castle on the ground, not to mention many different prison camps.
A few of the levels that seemed difficult at first eventually became solvable after thinking the situation through and some trial and error. What I like most of all about The Great Escape is the variety. The gameplay itself varies as well: sometimes you have to use your noodle to get out of sticky situations; sometimes you have to be stealthy; sometimes you have to be quick; and occasionally you just have to fight, whether with your fists, a weapon, or a vehicle. The graphics, sound effects, music, and game play are all very good.
