Released in 2006 for PlayStation 2, 24: The Game is a third-person shooter and adventure title developed by SCE Cambridge Studio, set within the television series' fictional universe. The story follows CTU agent Jack Bauer as he investigates a coordinated series of terrorist incidents across Los Angeles, including an assassination attempt on the vice president and the kidnapping of a prominent corporate figure. CTU traces the attacks to Peter Madsen, a former associate of Bauer, though the full conspiracy runs deeper — an unknown adversary is orchestrating the chaos as cover for smuggling nuclear weapons to Middle Eastern terrorist networks. Gameplay spans shooting, vehicular sequences, and interrogation mechanics as Bauer works to unravel the plot. The game functions as a standalone story bridging seasons of the source material, maintaining the series' real-time tension and ensemble cast format.
