2K Games today announced they have secured the North American publishing rights to 24: The Game.
To be released for the PlayStation 2 in Autumn 2005, the development of the game saw a close collaboration with the team behind the TV show; the writer and music composer for the series were onboard and it includes the voice talent and likenesses of many of the TV show's actors and actresses, including Kiefer Sutherland and Elisha Cuthbert.
Fans of the TV series who get the game are also promised some answers to questions they might have had concerning the plot from seasons two and three:
"24: The Game not only creates an intense gaming experience with the same time-based tension the show is well known for, but also answers questions fans have had about the events that transpired between seasons two and three."
24: The Game lets gamers take on multiple roles from the show as they frantically complete over 100 solo and team-based missions that feature shooting, stealth and puzzle-based gameplay, along with the ability to interrogate captured enemies to obtain vital information. The designers have incorporated many of the series' distinctive visual and audio features, such as its innovative use of split-screen windows for simultaneous plot developments and a constant race against the 24-hour clock.
