Prisoner of War

Has anyone else played this old PS2>PC game? Don't laugh because it's a really good solid game and one I often return to... you get sent to Colditz once you've caused enough trouble in the holding-camp and then the Stalag Luft, and the Colditz arena is very well modelled.

The sad for me thing is that it's a third-person game and the controls drive you mad at first... if only someone could've modded first-person play into this. Maybe that's not possible, I don't know. You can switch to a temporary 1st person view while watching for guards and looking through keyholes etc., but as soon as you start to move again you're back to 3rd person view.

And you won't want to turn off the music in this game because it contributes massively to the tension... and for a wartime game where you never have a weapon and nobody gets killed, this is one of the most exciting I've ever played. You increase your chances of success along the way by such devices as stealing German uniforms from places like laundry rooms... when you start out all you can do is hide your face with a tin of boot polish.
