The game is licensed movie a long time, if somewhat dubious tradition in this industry - every summer sees a series of games, which will coincide with the latest Hollywood busting box office movies. In the past, these games are usually limited to consoles, but this time the simultaneous multiplatform releases, which have begun to appear on the computer as well. Apart from the expected harvest this summer electric action toys, we also take action based on a film of 40-year-old game. The Great Escape is an action and stealth game based on the movie of Steve McQueen the same name in 1963, and despite the fact that it offers many varied game for movie fans, none of its parts have been developed enough to be entirely satisfactory .The plot of The Great Escape, the game, is closely connected with the facts and analyzing the plot of The Great Escape, the movie. While the film focuses on the escape of Allied POWs from Stalag Luft III, a high-security Nazi prison camp, this event does not occur until several missions in the game. Before that, you can play the missions in detail the history of memorable elements of the film as Hilts (McQueen character), MacDonald, and Sedgewick. These early missions that complement about how he became a prisoner in Stalag Luft III and provide a good introduction to the personality, the film's heroes. Of course, after the big break that will play several consignments over a period of these characters harassed route through Europe for freedom. Each
mission has a playable character set and where to go often enough to keep up with the progress of each.The Great Escape game is amazingly diverse, but it is a stealth action game at its core. You control your character from a third person perspective, and has a standard set of basic movements to facilitate ubiquitous secret Nazi guards. You can vary your walking speed or bending over to move silently, and you have a «stealth camera" which allows you to see around corners, boxes, and even the locks to see what the guards. You can also punch enemies or drown in the back, but it is quite uncomfortable and sometimes can be counterproductive, leading to his arrest. When alert a single guard means that you must restart the mission you want to keep in the shade as much as possible. Although the Great Escape is an action game in the style of the console, and appears to have been developed primarily with consoles in mind, played very well in the computer in the control. as expected, this supports standard game consoles, and even managed relatively well with a mouse and keyboard. However, most accurate mouse offers both an advantage and a disadvantage: While you can target more accurately the battle sections with an analog stick, not given as help self-view and in the console versions, so you need to make more of himself project.Unfortunately, compared with the best games in the genre of stealth as reigning PC, Splinter Cell, the gameplay in great escape does not hold very well. On the one hand, it seems that the sneaking never been much of a point - the secret missions on all consignments degenerate into glorified fetch. A hidden from point A to point B, then back to point A, then at point C just to grab some trivial objects and throw a couple of switches can be quite boring. stealth game would not be so bad if the guard AI was a bit more realistic, but sometimes you end up getting caught for no apparent reason, while other times you'll be able to sneak past a guard who has a line of direct
vision in place. To make matters worse, you are limited to three stops at every level that the game is expected to make it harder. It does, but at the cost of introducing a lot of repetition - when I get caught up in a heartbeat, echoed much of missions again and again until they understand exactly how to avoid search patterns of the guards. Occasionally the game design and level will meet and find a segment which slides is pretty cool, but these pieces are too few and too small to save stealth missions Great Escape from the tedium of another generalized way.Fortunately, there are some other types of games in the game to break the stealth action, although none of them is very valuable, as more than detours. The first level, which takes place in a damaged bomber, jump in a rear turret and defend input fighter jets briefly. You also get to drive some vehicles in some missions, such as an APC can plow through enemy soldiers. The last two missions even see playing Hilts while surfing on a motorcycle for freedom in a hail of Nazi bullets. Finally, some missions left the stealth model for action without quarter, but the battle is incredibly awkward when you have to try various missions in the game. You can get the hang of the passage of time - the trick is that you should let your character to move enough to self-target a nearby enemy - but even better when you get to it, it's just something fun.As the PC port of a console game, The Great Escape is looking around, as you would expect it to. It is definitely the best version in appearance between the three (the game is also available for the PS2 and Xbox), which is what one would expect, since most high-end PC hardware have superior graphics. The PC version has higher resolution, higher frame rate, and bit more picturesque than the data console versions, but the actual visual content remains unchanged - you basically have the same texture and low-detail versions console models. In other words, the game looks pretty solid, but not as impressive as other modern PC
games designed specifically for that platform. Spectators should at least appreciate the fact that the character of Steve McQueen in the game, in fact, like the Steve McQueen. The sound is really very high quality because it uses pieces of music from the movie, and the voices are generally well acted and appropriate for the parties. The presentation of the game is decent; It is a shame that the game supports that are not as nice as could be.In general, the great escape is nothing more than a game and it could have been much better. Perhaps if the developers have focused more attention on the part of the game and less on other aspects, we have a game that is less rich, but more fun to play. As it is, the great escape may be fun for movie fans, but if you are looking for a good action game, or even a good action game WWII, they could do better.
