The Great Escape

The Great Escape for PlayStation 2, released in 2003, is an action-adventure stealth game developed by Pivotal Games and published by SCi Games. Based on the classic 1963 film of the same name, the game follows the story of Allied prisoners of war attempting to escape from the German Stalag Luft III during World War II. Players take on the role of Squadron Leader Steve McQueen (and other characters), navigating the camp using stealth, strategy, and clever distractions to avoid guards, plan escapes, and execute daring breakout missions. The game emphasizes exploration, puzzle-solving, and tactical decision-making rather than direct combat, capturing the tension and ingenuity portrayed in the movie. While not as widely acclaimed as other stealth titles of its era, it offered PS2 players an engaging World War II escape experience.
