The game is compatible with the EyeToy. An Xbox version was also announced but ultimately never released.[3] In May 2005, Hip Games (a subsidiary of Hip Interactive)[4] announced it would be publishing the game for North America,[5] and 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 title for a North American release. Jackie, Jade, Uncle, Valmont and Shendu were voiced by their original actors.

Story
The plot is a retelling of the show's first two seasons, combining both story arcs into a single saga. Jackie Chan is enlisted by Section 13 to retrieve twelve magical Talismans that have been scattered across the globe before they can be claimed by the Dark Hand whilst preventing their leader, Valmont, from using the Pan'ku Box to release eight Demon Sorcerers from the Netherworld.

Jackie Chan: The main protagonist of the game. Jackie is an archeologist who secretly works for Section 13. He has a niece named Jade and an uncle named Uncle. In his mission, he must collect the Talismans and defeat the Demon Sorcerers as well. He is an expert in martial arts.
Jade Chan: Jackie's 12-year-old niece from China. She moved to the United States and has enjoyed her adventures with her uncle, who believes the missions he goes on are too dangerous for Jade.
Uncle: Jackie's uncle who owns an antique shop. He is a Chi Wizard and studied with Chi Master Fong for 15 years. He knows a lot about antiques and magical things, and does research to find out what magic forces Jackie may deal with in his adventures. He has a habit for hitting Jackie over the head.

Captain Black: An old friend of Jackie's and the leader of Section 13. He sends Jackie off on his missions, but he dislikes magic and demons.
El Toro Fuerte: A famous masked wrestler from Mexico. He was using the Ox Talisman to power up his strength but gave it to Jackie, after he defeated him in battle. El Toro's biggest fan is Paco.
Paco: El Toro's biggest fan. He believes Jackie is a "mouseman" and El Toro is the greatest. He and Jade seem to argue about this every time they meet.
Viper: An ex-thief who is good with martial arts. She once used the Snake Talisman to steal jewels, but Jackie managed to get it from her and she now is a member of the J-Team.

He wears prescription sunglasses, black clothes and likes drinking coffee.
The Demon Sorcerers: The eight demons that once ruled the world. They are led by Shendu. They each have their own powers derived from fire, sky, moon, earth, thunder, mountain, wind and water. They were defeated and banished to the Netherworld by the eight immortals of China, using the Pan Ku Box. Shendu wishes to use the puzzle box to release his brothers and sisters, so he and they can rule the world again.
