ABC Television released this promotional episodic videogame to hype the TV show starring Jennifer Garner as an undercover CIA spy named Sydney Bristow. The training mission plus 9 more episodes were available for download on ABC's website initially prior to and during the second season of the show. It is a 3D third-person stealth/action game and episodes came out on a monthly basis between September 2002 and June 2003. From both 3rd or 1st-person perspective, Sydney can run, jump, duck, climb, and interact with objects. When encountering a bad guy, she can punch, kick, or shoot if she gets hold of a gun which will allow you to zoom in when in first-person mode. Sydney must use various disguises and act covertly, so as not to blow her cover, while infiltrating various areas. There was a contest which ran until June 30, 2003 based on getting a high score in the game and it featured prizes from Ford Focus cars and Nokia phones which were also featured as in-game ad sponsors. Initially a free game, ABC later charged US$0.99 for each mission excluding the training mission. This first episode trains you on how to become a field agent, and shows you how to master the moves. It was released concurrently with the Turkish Embassy episode and must be completed first before continuing. Some levels resembled episodes from the TV series (such as "Raid on SD-6", based on first season episode "The Box"), while others were unique creations. |
