'24: The Game' has multiple character plots and strands and over 100 missions covering multiple genres of game-play including: - on-foot sections with shooting, stealth, puzzles and sniping; - driving challenges varying from stealthy tailing to high-speed pursuits; - interrogations where you have to coerce information out of suspects and - gadget sections including decoding information and examining satellite images High production values make the whole 24 game experience completely authentic. The game's music has been written by the TV show's award-winning composer Sean Callery, and an all-new script has been penned by 24 show writer Duppy Demetrius in collaboration with the 24 production team.
