Information:
I remember finding this in a little second-hand store in Melbourne when I was visiting family and was so excited, as it was a difficult title to find locally. While it's neat that it did get a port, the PS2 port suffers a lot from slowdown and lag due to the engine not being ported correctly, which as far as I can tell is a problem from going over from the NAOMI board to the RISC in the PS2—Biohazard CODE:Veronica suffered the exact same problem too. But, as I said before, it was the first version I was ever able to play after years of not being able to, so I took it as I could.
While Defender of the Future on the DC has aged well, I find the slowdowns, especially in the PAL PS2 version, pretty horrible to play through these days so I tend to avoid playing this port. Nonetheless, it's good to have!
