Additional Comments

For intro videos / in-game music to work you will need WMP9 (installed by winetricks) or simply install the wmfdist.exe (comes bundled with the game). The biggest problem which makes the game pretty much unplayable is the mouse issue: without dll overrides the mouse is stuck in the middle of the screen in the main menu. After 'winetricks dinput8' you can move the mouse freely in the menus but there's another issue during gameplay: the mouse pointer tends to leave the screen. With the xinput2 patch (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6971) both issues seem to be fixed. Nvidia 7600 / driver 260.19.21
