    Good for the beginning part of the game. But it has some major flaws. Graphics are just plain ugly (for PS2, what do you expect?), the driving mechanics are horrible, and the gameplay with shooting is just plain off. Fans of the hit show like myself will enjoy this game, but it becomes very repetitive. At least it has some variety such as computer missions, stealth, and interrogation. theGood for the beginning part of the game. But it has some major flaws.

At least it has some variety such as computer missions, stealth, and interrogation. the voive acting is the best part about this game, due to the actual actors from the show lending their talents. Personally, I'd give it a 6 out of 10, but I can't let personal aspects affect my review. Worth a rent for 24 fans. Not worth a buy for anyone.… Expand

    This is a mission based game which has a decent presentation. The controls are functional but not very satisfying. With many enemies around it gets into gong show territory pretty fast. Lots of options exist for camera and aiming preferences however I found none to provide controls which I found fluent.

The controls are functional but not very satisfying. With many enemies around it gets into gong show territory pretty fast. Lots of options exist for camera and aiming preferences however I found none to provide controls which I found fluent. The world and missions were decent enough and maybe in the day I would have played the game out, but like many games of the past these games haven't aged well. It's a decent game with some warts and it's subjective whether it's worth playing nowadays. I like the old style games which have good atmosphere and seem batch crafted. This game is worth checking out for that reason, but it's also worth ignoring for it's simplistic controls which could use a ton of improvement.… Expand

    While the Story, writing, voice acting and overall presentation are solid, the game falls short in the gameplay department. The controls are a little clunky, the combat could be better. The driving is ok for the most part.

    This game was mediocre, but had a good style in is a very high production quality for PS2 game. I would recommend it. Just to see it.

    The shooting is kind of brainless ,it was only difficult when you have to protect people but most of the time my brain was just in the autopilot when I was in shooting mode.

    The driving was painful , but mostly because the PS2 pressure sensitive button hurt to pull down all the time if it's 20 minutes of pulling my thumb as hard as I could it was red and numb.

    The game is brainless fun, fun have it most of the time though games. Would recommend if you find it    … Expand

    24: The Game's presentation is top notch. It perfectly captures the feel of the show. Everything from the beloved FOX Network thriller is here including the actors. This video game adaption was even penned by one of the show's writers. It also features new music from the show's composer. However, the gameplay is very average.

    If you like the show this game is pretty fun. And let's be honest, if you don't, you wouldn't even know this exists. It's a total pain in the ass and so much of the gameplay doesn't work right. But it's 24 and it's fully voiced by everyone from the show, so yeah it's bad but it's kinda great at the same time.

    Like the show it's capably siphoned from, 24: The Game rides on a breathless urgency, folding its events around a condensed 24-hour hunt for terrorists. [Mar 2006, p.41]

    With design lifts from here, there and everywhere peppered throughout, it’s safe to say that the developer has rather appropriately played things by the numbers. [Mar 2006, p.88]

    24 isn't the ambitious action opus it should've been, but its engaging quirks and variety of gaming experiences still raise it above the cash-in gutter.
