Because of my misfortune as an American to have received the game yet, I still have been reading reveiws and problems people are having with the game. If the lag is like 04 im very very upset, how can they over stress a set of standard requirments for systems such as a gamecube, Xbox and ps2? Its not like a CPU where you dont know exactly what everyone will have, very disappointing... But I may have the solution, I recall an option to change the speed at which GC runs at. You do this right when turning on the system and the cube animation comes up... I dont recall exactly how, and I dont know if that would even make a difference as far as keeping the framerate more stable, but hey it's worth a try... Hope this is problem doesnt effect GC what so ever, but Im afraid it will...
