Prisoner of War is a third-person action game that has players attempting to escape from a variety of prison camps during World War II, including the infamous Stalag Luft and the secure confines of Colditz Castle. As an American pilot named Lewis Stone, players must learn the daily routines of each camp before plotting a daring escape. An overhead-view radar is displayed in the corner of the screen while the action takes place from a perspective behind Captain Stone as he ducks, sneaks, and runs away from his German captors.

In addition to devising an escape plan, carefully noting patrols, roll calls, and meal times, players will also steal cars, destroy communications equipment, and work with a variety of fellow prisoners to distract the enemy's attention. As Stone uncovers more about what the Nazis are planning, he vows to find a way to rendezvous with Winston Churchill's Special Operations Executive before it's too late.

Features:
* Hitler's top scientists are working on a new secret weapon which could win them the war - and only you can stop them.
* Explore three meticulously modeled, fully-3D, historically realistic prisoner of war camps including the infamous Colditz Castle - rich, detail-packed environments brought to life with outstanding lighting, weather and other graphical effects.
* The immersive game world is made even more vivid by an exceptionally high level of Artificial Intelligence in its population. Sophisticated detection, flocking, socialisation and other artificial life algorithms work together to create a living, breathing world of distinctively-characterised inmates and guards.
* Uniquely resourceful, your character is able to talk to anyone they meet, 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's possible to replay any completed level, and aim to beat recorded escape times in order to earn new abilities. This substantially increases the longevity of the game.
