|Comments=Faint green and purple outlines on certain objects/textures (most noticeable with white textures). Some lag when destroying walls and killing miniboss minotaurs, otherwise full speed. However, it's clearly quite demanding on my PC (it's normally almost silent and the fans got very loud, and the PC became warm to the touch), so I'd recommend using VU cycle stealing for mid to low-end PCs (as with the first GoW). Fully playable.
