1.0 out of 5 stars Beware for Mac Mini also!, December 25, 2007

Beware! As the other reviewer noted, this software will not work with Intel GMA 950 graphics - in my case this means that it will not work with a brand new Mac Mini. My daughter wasn't in tears, but was very upset. After installing the game and trying to start it I got a black screen with an "unrecognized video signal" error message. I finally found out the problem - it is halfway through the "read me" file on the DVD. The Amazon website doesn't mention this problem, and all I could find on the EA website was "Electronic Arts game titles will only work on Mac systems that use the Intel-based processor" without mentioning graphics cards. This is bad labeling on the part of both Amazon and EA. Unfortunately the order shipped to me 5 days before Amazon's return window policy would allow a full refund.

1.0 out of 5 stars Defective product, December 25, 2007

Beware, though the product description says OSX and even the DVD package says "For a Mac with an Intel processor," this game will not work with a brand new Intel Macbook. Christmas morning I had a child in tears! If you go to Apple.com you can find information that the game doesn't support the GMA 950 graphics card. No where on the shrink-wrapped package does it list system requirements other than "For a Mac with an Intel processor." Bad label, bad product. This is garbage--if a product says it is for a MAC, it should work with a brand new Mac. If it doesn't work, it shouldn't be released.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good graphics but not that compelling, March 22, 2008

Ran great on my MacBook Pro 15". Beautiful graphics. Game supplied a fun environment in which to run around. Did not really require that much skill or thoughtfulness. Accomplishing tasks were more time-consuming and laborious, than challenging and fun. I pooped out before I got to the end. It was just not that compelling for me to finish, I simply lost interest in the end.
