Regional Differences

The European version contains three additional tracks; "Afro Ride" by Leftfield, "Chemical Beats" by The Chemical Brothers, and "Wipeout (P.E.T.R.O.L)" by Orbital. These were removed from the US releases. Texts for their credits are still in the US version and the re-releases, however.
