POWs On Your PC

Coming Stateside this September (2002) is Codemasters' World War II game, Prisoner of War. POW puts you into the body and mind of Captain Lewis Stone, who is caught by German Soldiers and kept in a POW camp.

Set in 1941, POW will implement superior AI, bringing inmates and guards to life. You will be able to interact with all characters, as well as use your cunning wit to perform your escape. To do so, you will have to crawl through muddy tunnels and over stone walls, as well as use "borrowed" German tools and disguises.

POW will be set in three historically realistic camps, including the infamous (and supposedly inescapable) Colditz Castle. Prisoner of War promises to deliver a highly immersive gameplay tactic, where stealth seems to be the most important attribute in the perfect escape.

Also available for Xbox (June 2002).
