Unused Cutscene

The cutscene "RENDER25.MPG" is intended to play at the ending of the Miami mission "Case For A Key". While it does play in the PS1 version of the game, it doesn't work in this version, probably because of a programming error.

Regional Differences

• Swearing is bleeped in the US version.
• Mission files 32 and 342 have small edits to the comments in the US version. NotSoQuickRender 45, -1 in mission342 is commented out in the US version.
• Apart from minor localisation differences between American and British English, Keyboard Redefine is simply Redefine and Redefine: is Key Redefine: in the EU/UK version.

The logo is different in the US version's loading screen:

Revisional Differences

A later European Best of Infogrames release has updated drivers on the disc and contains no DRM, enabling the game being able to be played without the CD in the disc drive, but this causes the CD-audio music to not be played.
