I had this memory in the back of my head of one of the levels from a Fairly Oddparents game I played when I was little. I couldn't remeber the title but I had a pretty good image of what the cover looked like in my head, so I searched 'Fairly Oddparents game' and soon found it was 'Shadow Showdown'.
When I was searching for the cover I saw a version of it for the Playstation and Gamecube. I thought it was cool that it was getting console releases and not just PC, but when I went to find videos of the game to watch, all I could find were PS2 playthroughs. I noticed pretty quickly that the game was different seeing as the game I was watching was 3D and the one I played was 2D and much different. The thing is, on the back of the cover for the PC disc (I went and bought a used copy to replay the game) you can see 3D models looking similar to the playstation.
So my question is, why are there two games with the same name and cover art, but one is a 3D, decently sized playstation game and the other is a poorly put together, unstable 2D flash game?
