Key points

Contains bonus content from PS2 and PS3 versions.

Frame rate is capped at 30 FPS, due to being direct port of the PlayStation 3 version, not the GameCube version.

Rendering resolution is capped at 1280x720. Developers are working on a fix -- they replied "give us some time to fix the issues please" and "we are working on the internal resolution issue".^[1] In the meantime, use TSFix.

Game executable keeps changing because of DRM used, which makes it near impossible to force improvements from external programs and GPU panel and files put besides executable get removed by computer cleaner utilities like CCleaner.^{[citation needed]}

Incomplete English localization with lots of misspellings.

Broken Italian, French, German and Spanish localizations.
