Based on one of the most innovative movies of all time. The Great Escape is one of the most exciting stealth games of recent times.

There was a wide range of complicated character and prop movements - all of which needed to look both realistic and thoroughly convincing. These included Steve McQueens motorbike, the interior of a WWII bomber and a wide range of weapons to name just a few.

Various scenarios from the movie were recreated in the motion capture studio where the characters use a variety of techniques to escape from enemy territory.
