In Secret Service, players take the role of an elite agent with the awesome responsibility of protecting the most powerful person in the world. Things go wrong from day one. An apparent terrorist attack against the capital on inauguration day takes down the POTUS, leaving the agents on the scene to secure the grounds and neutralize the threat. No one is safe as the extremists infiltrate, and the Secret Service agents take front-line roles in protecting all the nation's leaders. The game's story leads to tactical first-person shooting through a series of levels set around famous Washington, D.C., landmarks. The 2008 edition of Secret Service for PC, PS2, and Xbox 360 follows a same-titled but separate budget-minded 2001 release for PC from Activision.
