The third edition of Tanner's story was released on June 21, 2004 in the United States to mixed reviews. It was officially released on June 25 in Europe, although due to the way Atari shipped the title across the continent, it made its way into independent UK retailers before the release date, even making a #6 position in the ELSPA chart for that week. These dates apply to the PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions. On September 20, 2004, it was released on PC for US customers, and on November 1, it will come out for N-Gage, and other mobile phones. It was planned to be on the GameCube, but Refections dropped the game for the platform due to poor sales at the time of creating the game.
