|Sound=SPU2-X
|Comments=Played through about 1/4 of the campaign with no issues. There are quite a few native framerate drops throughout the game (the type that would also occur on a real PS2). Increasing EE Cyclerate right up to 300% helps counteract this somewhat. This will increase performance requirements but should be easily doable on a modern midrange CPU, as the game is very easy to emulate. As far as emulation performance goes, it ran full speed the whole time at 8x native res.

|Description=
|Description=The game has performance issues on native PS2 hardware. PCSX2 matches PS2 vsync frequency, and as such the game will "feel slow" while actually running at the same speed as it would on PS2 hardware.
|Workaround=
|Workaround=No known solution. If your PC has a strong enough CPU, raising the "EE Cyclerate" may help.
