5.0 out of 5 stars A great port of a great game, April 6, 2008

You can read up on whether this game is one that you will enjoy without worrying about if you're reading up on the Mac version of this game.

This review is here to tell you that the port to the Mac was done well, as far as I can tell with my 2008 Mac Pro and ATI 2600 video card. The game is smooth at 2560x1600 on the 2600, though once or twice I have noticed jerkiness with the action gets really intense. I have been on the fence about upgrading to the Nvidia 8800, but I don't game THAT much so it's probably not worth it for my use. The 2600 + Mac experience is definitely better than the XP version was on my ATI 1650 Pro at 1920x1200, though of course the 1650 Pro is an older card.

One worry I have as a multi-monitor user is whether launching a game is going to screw up all my windows, or show up on some random monitor. This game does NOT interfere with other open windows, even when running it at a different resolution. It also launches properly onto my main screen. It would be nice if it provided a choice of which screen to run on, but this behavior is OK for me. It also properly blanks out the other screens.

The only surprise for me is that the game requires the DVD to be present in the drive. Sure, a lot of games do this, but I don't recall other id titles requiring this. Kind of annoying, but not the end of the world.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another Hit To Trickle Down to the Mac!, June 13, 2008

This game is a blast to play and the work that went into porting it is clearly visible, optimizing it for the Mac OS X operating system in order to make sure it runs on Apple's sometimes limited software. This game runs great on my 2007 entry level iMac at HD resolutions with nearly all settings maxed out by default. Aspyr just updated it to once again align with the pc version, so although it is sometimes frustrating waiting for games, the quality that Aspyr puts into their ports makes it *almost* worth the wait!

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.
