3.0 out of 5 stars
Flawed but Playable, June 4, 2008
= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Medal Of Honor: Allied Assault War Chest (CD-ROM)
This game plays just fine on my Intel Core 2 Duo iMac. Don't know where the previous reviewer got his info.
This is a somewhat obsolescent game but still worthwhile. Graphics are pretty good and game play is generally smooth. I am a fan of combat games and have played through the Ghost Recon series
Ghost Recon: Desert Siege (Mac), the Call of Duty series
Call of Duty Deluxe Edition (Mac) (Call of Duty, Call Of Duty United Offensive)Call of Duty 2 and Blackhawk Down.
Weapons effects are poorly modeled-a silenced .22 caliber pistol has more knockdown that a 9mm or .45 caliber submachine gun or a .30 caliber rifle! I know because I have trained in real life on almost every US weapon in the game (I'm an old guy!).
There is some excessive mission-to-mission variation in enemy "toughness" ; in some, a single body shot does the job. in another it might require multiple shots, even with a heavy caliber rifle or head shots. The difficulty between missions is also uneven. Some missions were impossible to get through, even with difficulty set to Regular, without resorting to a "cheat"-something I've never had to do before.
I recommend this game at it's current price. I wouldn't pay $50 for it, though.

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, but it runs better in Windows., December 29, 2009

This series of games is great, and you can still find servers to play online. The Mac port of the game doesn't seem to run as well as the Windows version, however. If you want to be a competitive gamer online, I would suggest, if possible, installing boot camp and windows xp and picking up the windows version of War Chest rather than purchasing this Aspyr version. In my experience, I've been able to get double or triple the frame rates in Windows with the same quality settings.
