I think the windowboxed FMVs in 16:9 can be considered negligible - they're flawless in 16:10 which is what most people use, and the 16:9 windowboxing for cut-scenes really shouldn't bother anyone.

Also, I assume you mean the game has no multiplayer mode, as opposed to having no widescreen support in multiplayer.

I'm glad this is considered Certified, and that the 16:9 FMV is negligible. For a game to actually provide better functionality (the improved menu) in widescreen (and have proper WS gameplay support), it would be a shame for it to not be Certified.

As reported by Ibrin, TripleHead in not properly supported. To be more specific, the game offers perfect Hor+ gameplay and unstretched HUD for the most common widescreen aspect ratios only, namely 16:10 and 16:9. For each resolution, the game detects the best aspect ratio among the following : 4:3, 5:4, 16:10, 16:9.



Which means :
-in 15:9 Thrillville will be either 'slightly squashed 16:9' or 'slightly stretched 16:10'.
- in TripleHead it will be 'stretched 16:9' at best.

5040x1050, 16:9 aspect ratio

New grade, to reflect new rules:

Calculated grade: B+

Stretching in TH is a blemish

CCE: 100%
