A "sandbox" war action game with open-ended gameplay in a gigantic world. Set against the outbreak of warfare spurred on a Korean dictator coup, players have free reign of a massive landscape to take bounties on the "Deck of 52" evil warlords and minions as you work towards taking down the general who started the onslaught.

|Comments=Game works alright (a bit slow) in Gsdx Software mode., Menus are absent in Gsdx HW mode. Also once ingame HW mode seems to be suffering from massive memory leak and almost hangs my pc. Use Gsdx software mode as most of the textures are missing with HW mode anyway.

|Comments=Finally able to run the game without having to use OpenGL using the 1.5.0 dev. The apparent memory leaks when using HW mode to have been fixed. This is good news for AMD users as their drivers do not play well with OpenGL. The game plays and looks great, except for the odd slowdown or momentary freeze.

|Comments=MTVU enabled, fast CDVD enabled, EE Cyclerate set to 1. Near as makes no difference 100% speed with constant 30fps (cyclerate necessary for FPS, otherwise the game's internal frame rate will drop, but still perfectly playable like that). The only visual glitch I've found is that sometimes button prompts don't show up properly.
