There are actually three entries for this on the Community Wishlist. This one has the most votes.

I have the Xbox version, it was pretty amusing. I wouldn't mind the PC version coming out here.

IIRC the rights are long lost, no-one knows who, if anyone, owns them today. It'd be hard for GOG to release the game if they won't know who to contact on the rights issue. That said, I too would still love to see the game released here (or anywhere) :P

To be honest the xbox version is the one to have. I have the pc version and it is very very buggy.

Well, both main parties involved in the original release, Wideload and Aspyr, are still around, can't imagine the game as a whole is in legal limbo. IIRC the game does contain a lot of licensed songs, though.

On the Steam forums someone said something about the game having been removed from Steam because it doesn't run on any modern graphics cards anymore. Maybe that's the reason it's not around anymore?

I only played the PC version and indeed, that one had a bunch of issues. I don't remember anything in particular, aside from terrible performance despite meh graphics, but I remember that the game generally left a very mediocre impression due to its technical execution.

I cannot get the game to run on windows 7 so maybe that is a valid reason why it was removed. It's a shame it has received no love, it's such a fun game.

If it's not just forgotten about by the rights owner(s) or shelved for tech issues with newer Windows platforms, It probably is in limbo over the soundtrack.

I wish I would've picked it up on Steam back when it was available.
I bought it on a holiday sale at Direct2Drive; it never made the transfer to Gamefly.
If I'm really lucky I made a backup somewhere that might still work, but I'm pretty sure I never got around to it.

Would be amazing to see it on GOG someday, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

I think it got pulled from Steam initially for that reason, anything past XP and that game gets dodgy.
Try this old forum link to get it going.

Does any of the licensed music actually play in-game? I only remember it playing on the title screen.

I seem to remember it playing throughout, but I know it's at least in the dance off.
