** And then there was another release for the Platform/PlayStation2 in 2006. The first warning sign is that the game is on a CD, not a DVD (this being a time when the majority of new [=PS2=] releases came on a DVD). The second is that there are ''eleven'' selectable languages on the main menu (not even most DVD-based titles had that much). Once you start playing the game itself, it quickly becomes apparent how it takes up so little space: For starters, there is no voice-acted dialogue and no music during gameplay. Speaking of gameplay, the first level of the game starts with a forced stealth section where it seems like whether you get seen has nothing to do with being in the line of sight of enemies. Once you get to actual shooting, it doesn't get any better. There are plenty of glitches both with the graphics and programming. To top things off, apparently the developer did not get the rights for Eddie Murphy's likeness or the iconic theme tune, so both are replaced. The music is at least a decent effort, sounding like something that could have been part of the real movie. Portraying Axel Foley as a ''bald, clean-shaven white man'', on the other hand...
