Video Game Reviews of 24 The Game

Customer Review: A must for 24 fans...Otherwise skip this game...
Summary: 3 Stars

First off, as a fan of 24 the game's story line is exactly what you would expect from the tv show. The intense action, Jack breaking protocol, Kim being kidnapped (and every other family memeber of anyone and everyone that works at CTU), the huge terrorists plots that somehow always take place in LA each time, and many other great things that we all love about 24 are present in the game. This game does a great job of bridging the second and thirds seasons of 24 so you can discover how new characters joined CTU or relationships changed between people. The fact that it is true to the show is a plus. From there the things about the game I like go downhill. The handling of the cars in this game are awful. They are about impossible to control. I also never liked how you had to aim at the enemy and switch everytime from each bad guy. I've played many games and this is by far the worst control choices for shooting the enemy. Improving this would have made the game much better. I must also complain about the code breaking stuff and interrogations. I understand why they are in the game but they get old fast and really hold up the action in the game. If they had one in the game it would be much better but they are present every few levels.
Finally, if you are considering buying this game and are not a fan of 24 this is not a good game to play. However, if you are a fan of 24 you will find the storyline explaining the gap between seasons 2 and 3 very informative and much needed to explain some of the loose ends.

Customer Review: If you like the show, you will enjoy the game
Summary: 3 Stars

I really enjoy this game, I think they could have done better, some of the driving chases just seem a bit silly. I enjoy the more tactical work he is required to do. However, I ran into a glitch and I went online and found there are others who had the same problem where you get totally stuck and cannot move forward at all. I played 2 nights in a row thinking I did something wrong before I looked up a walkthrough online and found out it was just a glitch in the game. One I followed the instuctions, I was finally able to move on so watch out for that. It's right after you go up in a watch tower with a sniper rifle, then enter a wharehouse to protect Madsen which as soon as you enter there should be a lot of men coming in, my problem was only 1 guy or other people say no men at all, if that happens then you hit the glitch because a lot of men should come rushing in. The instructions I followed are as follows:

Turn on your PS2 is turned off with game and memory card in, then load the game (it should be at 4:28. If its not, see NOTE below). When the cut scene with Jack and Tony begins remove the memory card and the "Warning, memory card removed Use save game option to manually save progress & re-enable autosave?" Press X for OK and re-insert the memory card, then watch the cut scene. The "Previously on 24" dialog box will appear, press X. then play the game as usual. If done correctly, many men will enter. After you complete the mission, make sure you save it.

NOTE: If your memory card is at 4:41. Go restart the mission and do a save during the cut scene. You will overwrite 4:41 and be back at 4:28.

It helped me and if it happens to you, believe me, you will be glad you read this because I sure was.

Customer Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars

This game is awesome. I bought and it reminds me of the show exactly. The graphics are the best I've ever seen. I feel like I'm right there next to Jack, and Tony fighting in a race against time. The game is challenging but not to challenging you can't beat it. It has a lot of action packed levels with a lot of options. You'll really want to get this game. It's definatley worth it.

Customer Review: For fans of the TV show.
Summary: 5 Stars

This game gives you the chance to step in the shoes of Jack Bauer and others as the game continues. This game has what 24 has in the show. The split screens, clocks and the show's qualities are included. The storyline is good and takes place between seasons 2 and 3. The characters are included and the gameplay is cool. The interogation missions are well done and when computer geeks do something to help out you actually get to see them do what they usually do. However the M rating given by the ESRB was well deserved. If you get what goes on in the show and if you pay attention to the elements you would understand. Who knows what the MPAA will rate the rumored Big screen movie. The game has its own plot twists. People you see in the CTU die when the bad guys take over. The game goes well on the show and overall the game is a must buy for 24 fans. The game is cool so 24 fans play it,
