Plot

The story will be focused on the events that took place between seasons two and three of the series.

Many questions will be answered that were left after season two finale and before the season three premiere. Image:Tonyandmichellegame.jpg

The first level and hour will start as Jack Bauer and a CTU S.W.A.T. team are raiding an international cargo vessel that is smuggling illegal weapons and possible narcotics into the United States and supplying them to various terrorist cells in Los Angeles. After the raid is finished and the arrests are made, Bauer and CTU discover a connection with the vessel and an assassination attempt that will take place later that day. CTU believes they are targeting the President, Jim Prescott. Prescott was the Vice President on David Palmer's cabinet but was sworn in as President after Palmer was nearly killed in a bioterrorism attempt on his life. Bauer must now go undercover into a street gang and interrogate a suspected member named Del Toro who might be involved. When questioned by Jack, Del Toro gives up the name Madsen and the location of this man. Jack follows up on the lead and its not sure yet how, but he discovers that this so called attempt will be carried out on the Presidential motorcade as Prescott is traveling across L.A. CTU finds out that the cell planning the attack is the same one that nearly killed Palmer. Jack and CTU must now race to stop the assassination attempt and apprehend those responsible before the attack is carried out. Image:Bauerctuswat.jpg

  • The script and story for the game was written by the same writers that write the scripts for the series. The game is expected to be just like a regular season, in terms of a gripping storyline filled with plot twists, turnovers, key character returns and unexpected events.
  • The cutscenes and gameplay will be told in multi-panel windows, similar to the series, to show the progress of different characters and different storylines.
  • The game is licensed by the FOX Network so that it will feature all of the usual actors that work on the show, to do the voices and realistic motion design movements. The soundtrack will be written and conducted by the series composer, Sean Callery.
  • The producer of the game, Tim Hall, stated that the game should take around 24 hours to complete. He said that those who maybe are above average players may beat in a few minutes under and those who are below average may beat it in just a few minutes over 24 hours.
  • The game can also be played in widescreen, enhanced for 16:9 ratio televisions, and in Dolby Pro Logic II Surround Sound to give the game a more cinematic experience. If the game is played using a slim PS2 and connected with component A/V cables to a television or monitor capable of 1080i or 720p then the game will be shown in High Definition.
