These camps are rich, detail-packed environments, brought to life with outstanding lighting, weather, and other graphical effects. The immersive game world is made vivid by the artificial intelligence of its population. Sophisticated detection, flocking, socialization, and other artificial life algorithms work together to create a living, breathing world of distinctively characterized inmates and guards. Your character is able to talk to anyone he meets, pick up and drop objects, climb fences and walls, crouch, crawl, mantle along ledges, peek around corners, tap on walls to distract guards, throw stones, use a telescope, and perform a wide variety of special actions with particular objects. An intelligent context-sensitive action button system ensures maximum control intuitiveness at all times. It is possible to replay any completed level and aim to beat recorded escape times in order to earn new abilities.

 PITIFUL November 7, 2005
There are a lot of weak games out here but this game just about puts the mustard on the hotdog. I aint played a weaker 3rd person view action game(suppose to be action) than POW. For real man, I'm not even playing. Microsoft should stop letting people make these weak ass games. It's games like this that make me want to kill somebody. This game is so cheesy, man, it don't even make sense. They gone make the cover look all serious like it's good. DO NOT BE FOOLED. This game is broken.......completely broken.
terrible controls = bad game July 8, 2005

I like stealth games and I figured this one was going to be good, I was wrong. Despite the graphics being kind of bad, I can sometimes look past that as long as the game play and controls are good. I saw this and read the back of the case and it seemed like it would be good so I got it from my local EB Games for $15 (glad I didn't pay $50 when it officially came out). Needless to say I played this for about 45 minutes, got bored and frustrated with it and took it out. I was worried after seeing the opening sequence (how typical, cheesy and the bad graphics) but when the actual gameplay came to be was even worse. This is one of the worse games I've played in awhile, definately avoid this one at all cost, I wouldn't even take it for free

ok this game does have bad graphics and stuff but realy the gameplay is awesome. This has quite possibly the highest addiction level of any game on xbox i have played. for the the price it's at now you should get this game and enjoy it like I do. The other reveiwers that dis this game must be highly unintelligent.

It's a good game for people you like strategic gameplay. If you a shooter don't buy it. alot of people i know complain about not being able to shoot. Your in a POW camp since when do you get guns. Graphics 8/10
They get a little choppy and sometimes the guy is moving his lips when he's not even talking. The lighing is good. Sound 6/10
Music is boring and monotonous, but I wasn't expecting Matallica or eminem. The voices can be quite funny. AI 7/10
The guards can be overalert sometimes. getting yeld at for standing in there path. The fellow prisoners are donw pretty well. They walk around and talk or play or play games Overall it's a good game,but if your not sure you want to spend your hard earned money. then I suggest You rent it.

THIS IS THE BEST ESCAPE GAME IN THE WORLD, SURE THE GRAPHICS AND VOICE OVERS MIGHT BE PRETTY LAME AND FUNNY, BUT OVERALL I THINK THIS GAME HAS A GOOD STORY AND WAS WORTH THE MONEY.
