Additional Comments

The only catch for music and speech in cutscenes is that you must have an audio CD in your Optical drive (real or emulated) for the music and sound to work. The sounds work normally when an audio CD is inserted, but since it has the same quirk in Windows, I left the rating at Platinum.
