New York, NY (February 28, 2006) - 2K Games today announced that 24:
The Game has shipped to retail stores across North America for the PlayStation
2.
From 2K Games:
24: The Game features an unprecedented level of involvement from the team
behind the groundbreaking television series. Many key actors and actresses from
the series provided their likenesses and voice talents to 24: The Game including
Kiefer Sutherland, Elisha Cuthbert and Carlos Bernard. In addition, the game’s
storyline has been written in collaboration with series story editor and staff
writer Duppy Demetrius, with music composed by Sean Callery, an Emmy
award-winner for his work on 24.
“24: The Game delivers all the action and excitement you would expect to see
in the hit 24 television series,” said Christoph Hartmann, Managing Director for
2K Games. “It is an intense gaming experience with the same
race-against-the-clock tension the show is well known for. 24: The Game also
provides a valuable back story to the events happening between seasons two and
three.”
Elie Dekel, Executive Vice President, Fox Licensing and Merchandising, “I
don’t think there’s another show out there that’s better suited for a video
game. Thanks to the contributions of the series star, Kiefer Sutherland, as well
as the series’ story editor and composer, this exciting video game promises to
be authentically true to the television show and will delight even the most
critical fan.”
24: The Game enables gamers to take on multiple roles from the show including
Jack Bauer, Tony Almeida and Chase Edmunds as they complete more than 50 solo
and team-based missions that feature elements such as shooting, stealth and
puzzle-based gameplay along with the ability to interrogate captured enemies to
obtain vital information. The game designers have also incorporated many of the
series’ distinctive visual and audio features, including its innovative use of
split-screen windows for simultaneous plot developments and a constant race
against the 24-hour clock.
Offered exclusively for the PlayStation 2, 24: The Game is rated M for mature
and will be available at retail stores across North America for a suggested
retail price of $39.99.
