Customer Reviews

I guess it's true what they say about suckers...5
This is truly a great game. A fantastic RPG in every way that matters. And unlike most RPGs coming out at the moment, this game doesn't resort to FPS-like realtime combat. However, and this may just be my ignorance talking, I am stunned a game that came out 4 1/2 years ago is selling for $40.00 "reduced". Mac users are clearly getting the shaft.

Did not work on my Intel Mac1
Although I remember this being a great game when I played it on my original xbox a couple of years ago, the game would not stop crashing on my perfectly fine computer. There was supposedly a patch released so that the game would run on intel-based macs, but this did not prevent the game from crashing.

Worth buying only if you have a non-intel mac :-(

Trouble on Intel Mac1
Although there was a patch released to supposedly get this game working on Intel macs, the game repeatedly crashed on my computer. I remember playing the game on xbox, and it is definitely worth playing if you have an older mac, but not if you have an intel based computer.
