There's a very easy workaround for games like this, no need to buy a new CPU. To quote a post I found online, "Start the game, wait until the main menu hangs, bring up the Task Manager (i.e., press Ctrl+Shift+Esc). In the list of processes, search for the image: "DX2Main.exe". Right-click on it, and select "Set affinity", and select only ONE CPU core. It doesn't matter which one is selected. For me, there was no need to restart the game as the hanging state was gone."
This is the standard fix for games with this problem (I just had to use it while playing Call of Juarez: Gunslinger to get rid of some stuttering, as this game is not optimized to CPUs with more than 4 cores). The only annoying thing about it is that you need to do this every time you start the game. It only takes 10 seconds or so to do, but it's mildly annoying.
I noticed that Invisible War unfortunately isn't listed among the games backwards compatible with the 360. I know you don't own an original Xbox and haven't played the game yet, so I figured I would hand this information over to you, as you might find it useful.
