	Amazon.co.uk: The Great Escape: Music: Blur (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		THE GREAT ESCAPE is another demonstration of Blur's unique intelligence, more of Albarn's witty commentary, and substantial proof that the group may be bordering on genius.
		THE GREAT ESCAPE may not turn into Blur's great American breakthrough album, but if you're not thrown by Albarn's overwhelmingly British aesthetic, it just might be enough to take you away from the confines of your day to day doldrums.
		Still, it's a great pop song, regardless of it's supposed hidden-content, and is a track that works well within the context of the record and with the themes of consumerist abandon and technocratic escape (...it's also worth remembering for that great video featuring the actor, Jean Marc Barr).

	TCS Daily - The Great Escape
		The Escape From Hunger and Premature Death: 1700 to 2100
		Prior to that work there was very little that was known about what happened to mortality, before the middle to late 19th century in the U.S. And so we found sources of data that permitted us to recreate time series on that, and we discovered that the pattern of increase in life expectancy was puzzling.
		For example, during the Great Depression of the 1930's, which in some ways was not new but in some ways it was surprising, you would think that in such hard times with such a large percentage of the people unemployed, many for a long time, it would've had a negative health effect.

	IGN: The Great Escape Review
		Most gamers are unlikely to have seen The Great Escape (unless there are more Steve McQueen fans than we thought), so the appeal of the movie license may have little to no impact at all for the game.
		One of the biggest problems with the stealth aspects of The Great Escape is the fact that there's no explicit way to determine how hidden you are.
		The music in The Great Escape is on the same page as the voice acting; it's good enough to affect the game in beneficial ways rather than negative ones.

		Gameplay wise, The Great Escape is comparable to Codemasters' title Prisoner of War, which was released last year for the Xbox and PC.
		The Great Escape allows players to operate a number of vehicles from the WWII period - like cars, APC's, motorbikes, etc. Although they make for a welcomed addition to the slow-paced gameplay, the vehicles will be available only on a few occasions, most of which are over very quickly.
		The great mishap, however, is that most missions lack music themes in the background.

	The Great Escape Day Three @ Various Venues, Brighton : festival review
		After predictable entry shenanigans we were to witness their energetic blend of rock'n'rave noise that had the small audience bouncing along from the off, the forthcoming single Atlantis To Interzone making clear that here was a band who knew melody and a beat are necessary to make an anthem.
		The Maccabees (*), as the last act I'd see at the Great Escape**, followed later with more bouncey fun, but by this time I'd seen something like 25 bands in around 60 hours - bed was dearly needed...
		A really fine line-up went part of the way to making up for missing Radiohead in London, but there will need to be tweaks for next year if it returns to the same place.
