Home Alone 2: Lost in New York Christmas in 1997 by Sony BMG with an alternative track listing. Both versions feature tracks of John Williams' score, though the tracks are of different songs between the original album and its re-release. On the film's tenth anniversary, Varèse Sarabande released a two-disc special edition soundtrack entitled Home Alone 2: Lost in New York – The Deluxe Edition. The soundtrack contains John Williams' cues found on the previous releases as well as additional compositions that were left out from the final film. This release is also known for resolving a mastering error that caused the music to be inaccurately pitched.
Trapt (video game) of "Game Informer" compared the game to a "Demonic Cut" version of the Christmas movie "Home Alone" and criticized it for repetition and its limitation in scope, saying, "I enjoyed the "Deception" series on PSone, but this sequel hasn't made any strides forward. Inflicting unspeakable pain on mindless video game drones puts you in the shoes of wily Kevin McCallister, but as you'll soon learn, anything that reminds you of Macaulay Culkin is not good." Despite the technical issues, "Trapt" was praised for its uniqueness on the PlayStation 2 platform, as well as the game's premise of killing Allura's pursuers,
