While many reviewers have been merciful to 24: The Game focusing on its lush presentation and mixture of gaming styles to justify decent scores most fans of the series will be horrified by this shoddy spin-off.
While everything youd expect from 24 including a twisting plot, international terrorism and a series of tense deadlines are in place, the game tries too hard to capture all aspects of Jack Bauers adventures, wildly mixing genres but with little success; the driving sequences put you behind the wheel of cars that steer like rowing boats, the gunplay is offensively easy thanks to a simple lock-on targeting system, and the mini games used to simulate bomb disposals and computer hacking wont pose any challenge for seasoned gamers.
Add to this unbelievably stupid enemies, a camera that cant keep up with the action and graphics that look like something from a three-year-old PS2 title, and theres not much left to entice 24 fans or gamers in general.
