WW2 PoW stuff:

This was originally an Xbox game then released for Playstation2 and PC. I played it through years ago on PS2 and then PC but of course the graphics are the same - the main difference being that on the PC you get much more control, plus the opportunity to play in First Person view.

Graphics - particularly the AI characters - are dated but still very good; once you get into it you soon don't notice anymore anyway, and the environments - including the amazing music - are terrific. The rendering of Colditz castle as one of these had me hooked straight away and although I saw one reviewer criticise the cod-German accents I found this an endearing touch to what's all meant to be some fun anyway (no violence in this game - the guards only shoot if you give them no choice and then you only wake up in a hospital bed). The contemporary reviews were all enthusiastic, as I recall, including that guy's. The emphasis in on stealth and stealing what you need for the various escape missions - you don't fight anyone

Here's a run-through which came out to showcase Xbox release
