Jackie Chan Adventures is a video game based upon the animated series of the same name, which focuses on a fictionalized version of Hong Kong action film star Jackie Chan.[2][3]

The Game Boy Advance game, entitled Jackie Chan Adventures: Legend of the Dark Hand, was developed by Torus Games, published by Activision, and released in 2001. The PlayStation 2 version was developed by Atomic Planet Entertainment, published by Sony Pictures Television's sister company, Sony Computer Entertainment, and released on October 1, 2004, in Europe. The latter console version is compatible with the EyeToy. Jackie, Jade, Uncle, Valmont and Shendu were voiced by their original actors.

In May 2005, Hip Games (a subsidiary of Hip Interactive)[4] announced it would be publishing the PS2 version for North America,[5] and the game was featured at E3 2005 as a part of their lineup.[6] However, in July of that same year, Hip Interactive went bankrupt,[7] and no one else picked up the PS2 title for a North American release.
