'''''Law & Order: Double or Nothing''''' is a [[computer game]] released in [[2003]]. The game is based on the popular US television series, ''[[Law & Order]]''.

== Controversy ==
The game caused controversy in the UK in [[2007]] after it was discovered that it featured a [[CCTV]] still of murdered [[toddler]] [[Murder of James Bulger|James Bulger]] being led away by his killers.

Because of this, [[Global Software Publishing]], the game's [[UK]] distributors, withdrew it from the shelves. A spokesman for the game's developer, Legacy Interactive, said they were only made aware of the offending picture on [[17 June]] [[2007]].

"Obviously the game was out almost five years ago and this is the first time we knew anything about it otherwise we would never have put it out," the spokesman said.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/merseyside/6768695.stm |title=Game pulled over Bulger complaint |accessdate=2008-03-24 |date=[[2007-06-19]] |publisher=[[BBC News]]}}</ref>

An update patch is planned to be released that will remove the image from the game for anyone that has already purchased the title with the image of Bulger.

==Critical reception==
On the review aggregator [[Game Rankings]], the game received an average score of 70% based on 24 reviews.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/914812.asp |title=Law & Order II: Double or Nothing Reviews (Windows) |accessdate=2008-03-24 |publisher=[[Game Rankings]]}}</ref> On [[Metacritic]], the game received an average score of 74 out of 100, based on 17 reviews &mdash; indicating "mixed or average reviews."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/pc/lawandorder2 |title=Law & Order II: Double or Nothing (pc: 2003): Reviews |accessdate=2008-03-24 |publisher=[[Metacritic]]}}</ref>
