There are three sole premises that makes 24 one of the greatest Action/Dramas on Television.
1. Jack Bauer
2. Real-time events
3. Kill Terrorists
You take those three factors away and 24 doesn't exist as the drama we know it. Each factor plays a key role in this new "long day" for CTU Field Operations Director, Jack Bauer. Based in Los Angeles, the opening scene begins with Jack's infiltration of a cargo ship full of terrorists in possession of a poisonous gas. Each scene is delicately blocked out to show multiple events happening at one time. Then you are reverted back to a single screen of Jack doing what he does best. Killing terrorists. Some great basic features are in this game as with other 3rd person perspective games, similar to Getaway and GTA. You will fire a gun, run around in third person, target in, and then kill terrorists. The only difficulty will be adjusting to the camera movement that you have to constantly be in control of. But once used to juggling both analog sticks at the same time, it'll become second nature to you. You may also give the terrorists an opportunity to surrender and be taken into custody. But I'll leave that option for the Alias fans who play this game. The minigames (unlocking doors, interrogation, disarming bombs, satellite imagery) are just that, timed, precision-based sub-games. These can be VERY difficult/frustrating at first. Now, why is this game 100% everything it's supposed to be? Sound and Voice acting.
Keifer Sutherland (Jack) and Reiko Aylesworth (Michelle) are phenomenal. You would never be able to tell that you aren't watching an episode of 24. The rest of the cast is here including the voices to characters: Chase Edmonds, Chloe O'Brien, Tony Almeida, President David Palmer, Vice-President Jim Prescott, Ryan Chapelle among others a little more "secret". With the soundtrack by Sean Callery you have the complete "24" experience. It really is the voice-acting that let your eyes believe what you are living a day between season 2 and 3.
If you LOVE 24, you MUST get this game.
If you LIKE 24, you will find it is rather a short game but enjoyable in gameplay and story.
If you HATE 24, then you most likely are waiting for Bachelor: The Game to come out.
