"As crazy as this may sound, you’re going to have to trust me"



Ah, the wonderful words of Jack Bauer, the very intense CTU Agent played by Kiefer Sutherland in Twentieth Century Fox’s "24". I can still remember the first announcement for 24 in 2001 - Kiefer Sutherland is doing a drama/thriller TV show? Of course what first came to mind was "Kiefer is a sell out"; but then came season one into my local Blockbuster a few years later and I thought "Heck, why not give it a shot?" So I rented the first few DVDs with my wife and started the first disc – then a day later I found myself on the sixth DVD. Can you say addictive?

Now comes 24: The Game – a chance for you to fill the shoes of Jack Bauer and experience the thrills, the dilemmas and the teeth-gritting situations that up until now, you could only standby helpless and watch. Set between Season 2 and Season 3, 24: The Game reveals the answers to many unanswered questions about what happened between Seasons 2 and 3, and is actually set in "real time" with a full 24 hours of story as you’d experience watching the TV show. It’s a new day in the life of Jack Bauer and the members of the Counter-Terrorist Unit (CTU).

2K Games and SCEE have set out to make a game that provides the audience or player with a true "24" experience through the game’s graphics, voiceovers, storyline, action, characters, psychology and AI. All of the main cast have provided voiceovers and event facial scans for their characters including Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland), Kim Bauer (Elisha Cuthbert), Michelle Dessler (Reiko Aylesworth), James Badge Dale (Chase Edmunds) and Carlos Bernard (Tony Almeida). Duppy Demetrius the show’s writer, and Emmy Award Winner, Sean Callery, the show’s music composer have also driven their work into the game.



Of course, the use of the split-screen windows for simultaneous plot developments and the constant race against the counting down 24-hour clock have been added to the game to provide the same drama "24" fans alike have learned to love minute-to-minute.
