Games based on TV shows and movies usually don't turn out too well. They don't translate the excitement you see on the big screen very well. Just look at Star Trek D.A.C. or Jaws: Unleashed. This week, I bought 24: The Game. Now I was a fan of this particular show quite some time ago. I still watch it but nowadays, I'm usually listening to it on Hulu while doing other things on my computer. It's gotten pretty dull and formulaic these days.The game is pretty dull and formulaic in its own right. Dull graphics, dull mini-games spoil this third person shooter from the start. The driving levels were horrible with kamikaze police cars crashing into you all over L.A.
The story which was written by one of the shows writers, is okay but it kinda put me to sleep after awhile just like the show.
If you love the show then maybe you'll enjoy the game. I don't think you will though.
Verdict: If i paid full price for this game, I'd give it a 5.75. Having paid about $6 for it, I'm still giving it a 5.75. This is one of the worst TV/movie adaptations ever. Please stay away from this turd. But if you wanna try it out check out the links to prices are so here you go . eBay/Amazon/ Half.com
If you wanna play an action packed spy game check out: any Metal Gear Solid, Splinter Cell, or Siphon Filter game. Also Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy and Quantum of Solace are also good games. Coming soon are The Agency and Alpha Protocol.
