1.0 out of 5 stars Will Not Work on Modern Macs, July 14, 2007

This review is from: Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse (DVD-ROM)

I picked this game (copyright 2005) at the Apple store in the US. I brought back to Saudi Arabia and slapped it into my 2007 20'' iMac. It will not load. So I wrote to customer service. They told me that the game does not work on new iMacs with the x1600 video card. I did not see that in the system requirements. What other Macs will it not work on? Seems the only way to tell is to buy it and hope.

All in all, it is an older game and is now being dumped at low prices before it is completely obsolete.

4.0 out of 5 stars Definitely Worth 8 bucks., November 2, 2007

This review is from: Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse (DVD-ROM)

I ordered this game because I wanted something new and you can't beat an 8 buck price tag. I worried as some people mentioned frame rate problems and such. No problems here with a first generation Macbook Pro and 10.4. It plays pretty seamlessly.

Overall, the game is solid. Some of the cut scenes are a bit long and you keep doing the same thing over and over--eating brains--but it is a nice game to turn off your mind and just enjoy. You don't have to use 50 zillion keys to run it--in fact, I used my touch pad and about 8 keys with no problems. Some sophomoric humor, but a solid game.

Is it Halo? No. Is it Medal of Honor? No. Is it fun? Yes. Will I replay it? No, probably not. Is it worth 8 bucks? Yes. For that price, I'll pass it on to a friend and let him enjoy it, too.

YMMV.
