It's always going to be a bit sketchy with games this old trying to work them into Widescreen, as with many games there are some forms of stretches or errors along the way. I assume you also refer to this regarding the text going off the box, as far as I understand that is fixable but will likley require an update from Cannon.
While some of these issues may or may not be fixed, they are minor, most can agree that it's playable and indeed better than 4:3 resolutions for those of us graced with a widescreen monitor.
