Version differences

This standard version is a PlayStation 2 port with low quality 16-bit textures and 16-bit color rendering. It uses StarForce DRM and is only playable on Windows 8 and later, with WIFI_Darth_Maul's Fix[3] of the game made this year, which removed StarForce DRM, and certain registry dependencies.
Gamer's Edition is an enhanced PC port featuring all the visual features from the Xbox 360 version like high resolution textures and higher quality 3D models. It was released DRM free, so it is playable on newer versions of Windows, but has many bugs.
