General information

MMKB, A large and detailed wiki for the series

Key points

The lighting in the PC port is very missing. As a result, shadows are basically non-existent. Comparisons: PSX 1, PC 1; PSX 2, PC 2
The music for the PC port is noticeably lower quality than the PSX version due to Capcom using low-quality recordings of the PSX music. See the Unfinished Business Patch for higher quality music

Availability

Essential improvements

Unfinished Business Patch

Replaces almost all pieces of music with higher quality recordings from the PSX version[1].
Contains two optional alternate tracks from other games (PS1 GTA and Zero Hour from Freedom Fighters), rename them to .WAV files and overwrite if you wish to use them.
