Do the console versions have problems? If so, how do they fix them?

That makes sense. Thanks!
Two patches that addresses the various problems people have with the game.

Jeff was right though, in that a game on a single console is much
easier to develop than it is for the PC. However, I doubt there has
ever been a single console game, on any system, without at least some
bugs.
Unfortunately, bugs in games on consoles such as the Playstation just
have to be left alone, in the hopes that they're not too serious.

Is this because it's trying to run the movies on my Voodoo2 card? Is
there a solution to this problem, or will I have to exit the game and
try and figure out which FMV to run every time there's a movie?

I run it with Voodoo2 without SLI and have no troubles with the movies...
Am I missing something???
