As with the first game, I'm now attempting a play through of this one. Bugs or not.
Bugs / issues:
* Audio appears to cut out on occasion. This caused one of the missions I was doing (Lost and Found) to never proceed beyond a point, as a radio call never "finished" and the persons face stayed on screen. I was able to get past it by reloading a save and trying again. Worked fine second time. If I was to take a complete guess I'd assume that the game didn't get a message / function call to end that radio call, the first time.
* Falling out of the Level - Only had this happen once (occurs during the second video). If you happen to have an enemy who is in the process of falling dead, and you walk over them you may fall out of the level. Very hard to replicate, but it did happen the once.
* Flickering textures - Happens everywhere. Though it may be a lighting related issue.
* Memory Buffer issues - Only happens during 1 of the boss battles (during the mission Joseph Bertrand the 3rd, video 5). Results in the error "Thread terminated due to fatal error. Working buffer not big enough". Was able to get past the battle on third attempt which is a bit ironic.
* Reloading to a checkpoint sometimes hangs the emulator - This happens in the first game as well. If you happen to fail a mission via dying or not meeting the conditions of it which results in a reload, this will sometimes cause the emulator to hang.
Beyond the above, the framerate and audio overall is quite good in this one compared to the first game. I would absolutely class this game as playable.
