Two versions of the game exist. The Xbox 360, PS3 and PC version was developed by Cauldron, while the PS2 and Wii version was developed by FUN Labs; aside from the name, they share no similarities with each other and are otherwise entirely distinct games. As such, they will be covered in separate sections on this article.
