==Screen change==

From the looks of the menu, all that gets cut off are black bars on the top and bottom. When this happens, it's called "anamorphic" rather than "vert -."

==Multiplayer support==

Since singleplayer is natively and trivially hor +, it should be fine to assume multiplayer is too.


==Cut-scenes==

The behavior here is strange, but I can't really call it a fault unless the extra viewing space on 16:10 detracts from the cut-scenes somehow. I'd describe what's going on this way:
Behavior is 16:9 anamorphic, but 16:10 has the black bars removed showing what's underneath them.


==Grading==

Calculated grade: B
Potential grade: B+

Major unresolved issues:
None

Minor unresolved issues:
Are 1440x900, 1920x1080, and 1920x1200 supported?

Summary of widescreen-related flaws:
Stretched HUD

Cranky's coverage estimate: 99.5%

And this report is excellent, especially considering it's your first try.

Ouch, my bad, I can't believe I didn't notice the menus were anamorphic :oops:

I've edited the report to include the corrections and grading information. Thank you :)

Might you explain the grading rubrick to me via PM so I can try and grade the next one?

==Surround Gaming Support==

Native.

As Astaroth noticed, real-time cutscenes are Hor+ with no horizontal black bars.


FMVs still don't stretch.


Menus still do.


In-game view is indeed Hor+ with HUD stretch.


Hotkey for TH2G Bezel Management is fully functional in game.

Tested with version 1.45 since 1.66 used to crash my previously saved games...
