   To me this game was a major disapointment! The game play is rediculously slow. It took me 5 minutes just to figure out how to make my character put on his clothes and open a door. Doing the simplest thing, like opening a door, or changing weapons is such a pain! In the “battles” you click on an icon to make your character fight ( or another icon telling him not to fight). You can’t control his actions in the battle! That is soooo lame! Personally I like games with action, that you can actually take part in, such as unreal tournament, or jedi knight. this game bummed me out so much I had to write a review in hopes of stopping someone else from making the same mistake I did.

   I had been waiting for over a year to get this game for my G4 Mac and the day it finally arrived I was eccstatic. I knew my computer met the requirements (or so I thought) so I figured I’d have no problem. The requirements on the box said 256 MB RAM required (512MB RAM recommended). Well I had 256MB but I didn’t mind the thought of playing the greatest game of all time on lower video/sound settings. So I popped in the CD and immediately in the first “scene” of the game the video was choppy and characters were stuttering to get their words out. Just a tap on one of the movement buttons either froze the character or sent him “teleporting” to the other side of the room. Now I suppose this is playable if you wish to spend months alone navigating the first level with incomprehensible controls. I had no other applications running at the time and all of the game settings were set AS LOW AS POSSIBLE. The box really needs to say 512MB RAM required to play. I am very disappointed. This entire situation is very similiar to when MacPlay released the much awaited Alien Vs. Predator 2. I am most disappointed.

   I was dissapointed with this game. This game follows the same traditional format. The game takes you by the hand and basically leads you sequentially through a series of events. You get a series of dialog boxes to choose what to say, I hate this it is so old couldn’t they do away with all the boring dialog boxes. I do not like the controls or the way combat is done in this game.

   Star War Galaxies is 200 times better in my opinion. Despite all the terrible reviews and complaints about players no other game comes close to the total star wars experience than Star War Galaxies. As much as people complain about the Jedi system and how terrible the Jedi look in SWG, it is way better than the Jedi system in this game.

   Nothing origonal in this game same old cookie cutter format, same old taking player by the hand and guiding them through every step without much freedom of thought on his own. This game is like an old game made 10 years ago with an updated graphic engine. Even the graphics in this game are poor compared to games with similar system requirements.

   Finally my last complaint. Why did I decide to buy this game for the Mac instead of the PC? I don’t know I thought since It was on the Mac it would be more stable and more enjoyable to play. What a joke! Right after I installed the game it crashes on startup. I search the internet and find out this a common problem with OS X Tiger, and I need to patch the game with an update in order for the game to work. The performance of this game is horrible! My mac mini meets all the system requirements and this game runs painfully slow in higher resolutions and higher detail settings. The mac version is over double about 2.5 times the cost of the PC version and it doesn’t perform nearly as well as the PC version! What a rip off, how come they can’t write better code for the mac version? how come they can’t better utilize Altivec?

   Finally….

   The 2nd greatest game of all time (Betrayal at Krondor being the best) comes to the ultimate platform…Macintosh!!! I’m really excited about this release except for the fact that I’m shelling out $50 for it…

   And the fact that it took Aspyr so long to finish it. Seriously, this game should be like $30.
