Prisoner of War will also make use of an advanced soundtrack under development by Wide Sounds.  The soundtrack will be able to sense the player's pace and actions, and adjust the soundtrack accordingly.  This will make the game's music mimic that of a movie soundtrack, which enhances the mood of the onscreen action with the music played in the background.  

"To adapt a famous phrase: You ain't heard nothing yet," said Jim McMorrow, the games producer. "Wide Games and Wide Sounds have devised something that works to incredible atmospheric effect. The constantly adaptive soundtrack really matches the tension as you play Prisoner of war. Most impressive is how he soundtrack evolves when playing the game; it's very organic as pieces of music blend together to reflect the players' actions."

Players will be given the opportunity to escape from four different camps, including the infamous, "escape-proof" Colditz Castle.  The game's 3D engine will bring these camps to life in intricate detail, during different seasons and in both day and night.  Look for Prisoner of War in June of 2002.
