The game is a first-person shooter featuring both single and multi-player modes.

=== Save Screen Hang ===
{{Problems|{{#vardefineecho:problems|
The emulator will get stuck into the save screen right before level loading. To fix the this, disable the memory card in slot A.
=== Splitscreen Issues ===
Player 2's screen is black if EFB is not set to RAM, and even if it is set to RAM, the resolution of Player 2's view is significantly less than Player 1's. This needs further testing, to determine if Player 3 or 4 are also affected.


===3.0-716 partial incompability===
=== <s>Save Screen Hang</s> ===
The game is not working properly on version {{revision|3.0-716}} of Dolphin. It will not allow to save your progress and runs generally on 50% of the regular speed, no matter how high the processors power is, along with many audible glitches, and crackling noises. Sadly, there's no way to fix this. You can always downgrade to {{revision|3.0-226}}, which works perfectly.
The emulator will get stuck into the save screen right before level loading. To fix the this, disable the memory card in slot A, or try other revision. Appears to be fixed as of {{revision|5.0-6197}}, possibly even earlier.
