    I you like 24 you'll love this game. It looks, sounds, and feels like 24. Plus it fills you in on everything that happened between seasons 2 and 3. How Chase and Chloe came to be with CTU Los Angeles. How Kim Bauer joined CTU. What happened to President Plamer. Who was behind his assasination attempt. These questions and more are answered. And its really really fun. No its not mulitplayer, no its not online, neither is the TV show and it still great. So just try it out with an open mind and enjoy. I know I did!… Expand

    This game is actually what got me back into video games. i love 24, but i'd probably love the game anyway. This game's shooting system is actually my favorite. It's long enough as well. Usually, i prefer more non-linear games, but this is one level-oriented game that i regularly play. If you like 24, you should love this game. If not, then you should still find enough enjoyment from the gameplay to justify buying it.… Expand

    Above average game, which is stunning really as most tv/movie adaptations are something less then good. There are some control/camera quirks that take a bit of getting used to, but nothing that will stop you from being able to have some fun with this title. Raise the ranking a full-point for "24" fans. The in-game cutscenes are very well-done. Really capture the feel of the tv show. Getting Sean Callery for the music and all of the voices of the real actors of the show really helps, too.… Expand

    This game is TERRIBLE! I am a huge fan of the show, and aside from the cut scenes' good presentation, this is a joke. The mini games are laughable, and the choppy framerate and poor controls aren't even good enough to be a beta, let alone a final release. The story is also really shallow, almost as if someone said "Here is an outline of our story" and they just used that as the main plot. [***SPOILERS***] This game does such a terrible job of bridging seasons 2 and 3 together as well. You'd think they would mention a bunch of terrorists invading ctu and michelle wasting all of them in season 3. Or, if Jack got Kim the job at CTU because he wanted her safe, I don't think she'd still be working there after she gets kidnapped on her first day. Also, there's a bug on mission 11 where if you fail (the part right after the sniping part), it restarts you with only 1 enemy to fight and the rest never show up. So you can't advance in the game. Since it auto saves, you're stuck here forever and have to go back and play the whole game over again. The only reason this gets a 2 is because of the unintentional humor of running around yelling "CTU!" "Federal Agent!" while handcuffing all of your co workers, civilians, enemies and swat team members, then punching them in the face with no reprocussions. Also, it is really funny when you get hit by a car. It's like the physics get turned off and you go flying into the air doing a series of backflips and twists that only a dead person with no skeleton could emulate. Only rent for the above mentioned unintentional humor, and nothing else.… Expand

    Excellent experience, very authentic to the show. Varied gameplay (if not the best in each area), great cinematics, good art & sounds. Loved it!

    this is a great game. everything about it is good except the camera. it can get frustrating when you play the game on your first time. but over all... it gets really fun using stealth, weapons, and vehicles to complete your missions... this is a cool game and it should definately be bought as soon as possible!!!

    It seems now that unless a game is massively multiplayer it is automatically assigned a low or poor score-lets get off that kick! Mm is not the end all of gaming; there are many,many who enjoy single player. If anybody has been paying attention, they will notice 24 plays, feels, and looks exactly like 007 From Russia With Love-both highly enjoyable games.

    Good for the beginning part of the game. But it has some major flaws. Graphics are just plain ugly (for PS2, what do you expect?), the driving mechanics are horrible, and the gameplay with shooting is just plain off. Fans of the hit show like myself will enjoy this game, but it becomes very repetitive. At least it has some variety such as computer missions, stealth, and interrogation. the voive acting is the best part about this game, due to the actual actors from the show lending their talents. Personally, I'd give it a 6 out of 10, but I can't let personal aspects affect my review. Worth a rent for 24 fans. Not worth a buy for anyone.… Expand

    Great game that totally capture the story and style of the show. This is one of the best Televsion games around. The game is well made and can be considered as season 2.5. Yet, the game has more of a movie feel than a realtime feel. This would be because if their were comercials like in the show the commercials would be at times a half an hour long. But when you get past that the story and suspence is well worth the title of Jack Bauer. Not to mention Sean Callery's music rocks.… Expand

    Some of the graphics look great for a Ps2 game. game play is a bit hit and miss, but generally pretty good, if you like 24 you'll love this game!

    Very enjoyable. Flawed however. 24 fans simply must play. Non fans can also enjoy the variety. The aiming system is very well done, but in frantic situations with too many enemies it faulters. The driving is enjoyable, but feels scripted and is a bit slow at times. The mini games(interrogatoins and hacking) are great fun. And of corse the story is very well constructed.

    Like the show it's capably siphoned from, 24: The Game rides on a breathless urgency, folding its events around a condensed 24-hour hunt for terrorists. [Mar 2006, p.41]
  2. Edge Magazine
    60
    With design lifts from here, there and everywhere peppered throughout, it's safe to say that the developer has rather appropriately played things by the numbers. [Mar 2006, p.88]
  3. GamePro

    24 isn't the ambitious action opus it should've been, but its engaging quirks and variety of gaming experiences still raise it above the cash-in gutter.
