Based on a true story, the film was gripping, climaxed by the incredible motorbike escape of McQueen. Watch the Movie, Then Play the Game Movie-licensed games have generally met with poor success, particularly in the terry eyes of critics. Based on my experience, the most faithful and fun adaptation I've played is Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, followed closely by The Thing, Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, and The City of Lost Children. In brief, The Great Escape ranks right terry up there with the best of them. Following my pattern terry with games spun off from films, I viewed the movie prior to playing the adaptation. This led, for example, to The Thing (the game) to be viewed in quite a different light than as a completely isolated play experience. So, too, with The Great Escape. Not only is my likeness, Steve McQueen, complete with voice and swagger, "digitally resurrected" (with permission of his estate), but virtually all of the key scenes featured in the movie are represented in the game—including the motorbike episode.
