Publisher: Sony     Developer: Take 2    Expected: 24th March 2006     Players: 1      www: 2kgames.com/24/ It’s the longest day of your life... As Agent Bauer, players must face 24 hours of relentless action, interrogation, driving and gun-play as a new and immediate terrorist threat puts thousands of lives at stake.Set between seasons two and three of the hit television series – 24: The Game takes advantage of an unique opportunity to create ‘another one of those days’ in the life of counter terrorist agent Jack Bauer (played in the game, as in the TV show, by Kiefer Sutherland.) Mission styles include intense shoot-outs, stealth, sniping, fun with gadgets and tricky puzzles that will always keep you on your toes. The game structure is real-time with rapidly unfolding plot twists including well-known and new characters with traitors, moles, double-bluffs and cliff-hangers strewn everywhere. Interrogation scenes offer an unique new type of thoughtful gameplay that compliments the variety of action missions. The game also includes all signature graphical devices, sound effects and voice-acting of the likes of Kim Bauer (Elisha Cuthbert) and Tony Almeida (Carlos Bernard) from the show. Unique visual stylised cut-scenes were produced in conjunction with the series’ creator and cinematographer with multi panel windows showing concurrent plot developments as they happen.
