Trivia
- Japanese name: ジャック×ダクスター 旧世界の遺産 (SCPS-15021), ジャック×ダクスター PlayStation 2 the Best (SCPS-19210)
- The game sets to widescreen when it is prompted by the 16:9 ratio setting in the PS2 internal menu.
- Widescreen crops the top and bottom of the 4:3 image, meaning less visible viewing area than when played in 4:3.
