24: The Game

THE GOOD:
- Main character's same voices
- Details on characters are almost exquisite
- Original aiming system
- Great storyline
- Surrender enemies

THE BAD:
- Short game time
- No Difficulty choosing
- Occasionally easy
- Doesn't answer all Season 3 loopholes
- Low replayability

SUMMARY:
Ok, this game is the "Missing" day that left us all wondering what happened during all those years that changed so much. To be honest, it didn't explain much, in fact, it kept you going with its own storyline and new way to save Los Angeles. Being Jack Bauer does rule in some levels, aside from Chase and Tony will be others to control...though not when you would expect it.

The Interrogation system is a lot of fun to mess with...of course the timer will put you under a lot of pressure which is even better. Other features like finding nodes and bombs and other CTU HQ features are...

THE GOOD:
Outstanding presentation that emulates the television show to near perfection. Voiceovers by the majority of the television show's cast, as well as a story written by one of the writers for the show really help to cement this game's outstanding presentation.

THE BAD:
Gameplay not nearly as good as it could have been. Its not bad enough to say that the developers just wanted a quick buck off of the license, but its not nearly as good as other games in the genre.

SUMMARY:
Any fan of 24 should play through this game at least once. It has a fantastic story, and the presentation is nearly perfect.

The gameplay issues, while a bit irritating, are not something that will keep the average gamer from finishing the game and seeing the entire story.

Movement is kinda clunky, and I found myself moving Jack, or any other character around mostly in the slower moving stealth mode, so I could...

THE GOOD:
- Amazing presentation: just like a missing season of 24
- Fantastic plot: inventive twists and turns exactly like the show
- The full 24 cast: everyone from Jack Bauer to Adam Kaufman act their socks off
- Superb variety of missions: never repetitive
- Well-realised world: explore a full-scale city on foot or by car
- Brilliant shooting: many weapons and approaches to a situation
- Fast-paced driving: physics created for big cinematic car chases
- Hacking mini-games: not as rubbish as they sound
- Music and sound: score by Sean Callery, plenty of bangs and booms

THE BAD:
- Not the best graphics: not terrible either, but there are better looking games out there
- No co-operative multiplayer: imagine Jack and Tony working together...?
- Not actually real time: more like 14 than 24

SUMMARY:
The following takes place between 6:00am and 7:00am...
