Video Gaming News - May 2005
New York, NY (May 16, 2005) - 2K Games today announced that it
has signed an agreement with Sony Computer Entertainment Europe and Twentieth
Century Fox for exclusive North American publishing rights to 24: The Game for
the PlayStation 2.
“24 is one of the hottest shows on television right now, getting the best
ratings of its four-year run, and is the perfect property to translate into an
interactive entertainment experience,” said Christoph Hartmann, Managing
Director for 2K Games. “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.”
From 2K Games:
24: The Game features an unprecedented level of involvement from the people
behind the groundbreaking television series. Many key actors and actresses from
the series will provide their likenesses and voice talent 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 writer Duppy
Demetrius and the music has been composed by Sean Callery, an Emmy award-winner
for his work on 24.
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.
24: The Game is planned for release on PlayStation 2 in fall 2005. For more
