Shoot-em-up fun!! October 12, 2008
I don't play a lot of games and I am a new Mac user as well. This plays great on my new MacBook Pro, 2.6 GHz, 4 Gb RAM, 512 video RAM, 200 Gb 7200 rpm drive, 17 -inch glossy screen Hi-Res. Smooth video and action. No problems what so ever. I'm very pleased.
Great Game, Questionable Developer Statements October 10, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I think the game is fantastic. That said, before it came out I contacted Aspyr to find out if it really was only going to be for Leopard Macs... They said yes, and that I'd have to buy Leopard to run it. I did so. In fact, I had to revamp my HD to two partitions so I could keep my original Tiger disk to run Quark 6.52 for my day job. (Which doesn't run well in Leopard)
After I got the game, I installed it into my freshly installed and updated Leopard partition. Guess what! IT WON'T EVEN LAUNCH. It crashes when I attempt to start it. The multi-player game starts, but the single-player doesn't. I was frustrated to say the least.
Just out of curiosity, I then rebooted into my Tiger partition to see if it would do anything on that OS. Lo and behold, it ran! It runs just fine on my Aluminum iMac C2D 2.8Ghz Tiger machine, with awesome graphics, textures and such bumped up a little from "recommended" and even running in high resolution! I've been playing it for about 2 hours with no problems whatsoever.
If I get to the end of this game with it running perfectly all the way through, maybe I'll bill Aspyr for the cost of the necessary upgrade and time.
It really is a great game though. Although this post is somewhat of a rant, maybe it will be helpful to someone else who only has Tiger (10.4.11) and wants to run it. Ya might give it a try, despite the "minimum" requirements. I haven't played the multi-player game online though -- it may be the limitation to Leopard I haven't experienced yet. I bought it for the single-player game.
