Sounds like a major programming bug slipped by
Midway's 'quality control.' I can't imagine any of these
problems being traced to either a defective console
or defective pressing, since every other aspect of the
game works properly (e.g. loads animation data, etc.
without crashing the console). This seems to be
supported by my experience with the demo disc.
Every single demo plays fine, except for R2R (sound
dropouts galore).

Because every game mag and web reviewer I've read have reviewed the
import versions of the games, NOT the U.S. releases...the U.S. releases
were frantically still being worked on/manufactured/distributed at the
time of the reviews.

I had the same problem. Booted up my machine
four times with no change. Then, for some reason,
the R2R demo problem just disappeared and hasn't
returned since. I fiddled with the setup menu,
changed a few settings, disabled the automatic
detection feature, let my DC charge up its internal
battery, etc. Now everythings running smooth as silk.
