Wires here weirdly shaped letters there some sort of frequency-modulation doohickey on the other side. None of these modules makes any sense at first glance. Each session starts with a timer-usually around 3 to 5 minutes-to figure out and solve each of the bomb's 'modules,' which is done by using joysticks and a single button to look at and fiddle around with the bomb that they see.

This is one of the most intriguing 'two-screen' games we've ever played, and while its potential to grow stale is worth exploring, that worry is easily eclipsed by the game's accessibility, flexibility, and party-friendly nature. Almost every time we've played, the festivities have started with gritted teeth, devolved into panicked conversations, and concluded with an entire crowd cheering for the heroes. We use that comparison because our sessions of KTANE were surprisingly loud, shout-loaded affairs with equal parts tension and payoff. Not much stereotypical action-movie, 'yippee-ki-yay' stuff. The game fast-forwards through all other moments of action and espionage, taking you straight to the point where you sit down, examine an active, timer-loaded bomb, and stop it from blowing up.

Or maybe your virtual character has been given a mission to defuse one, but after you hold down a single controller button for a few seconds, presto: you've disarmed it and saved the day.
