a fun game with too many hardware requirements
This is an excellent game. My son delights in playing it whenever he is able. We have a long saga about this game,but the general gist of it is: the hardware requirements need to be much more explicit prior to purchase. My husband literally purchased a new computer, just in order to play this game and found that not even a new computer had the required hardware.We bought hardware and had a friend install it, only to find that it didn't work either. That was with the PC version. We were delighted when the Mac version was released and bought it hoping to play it on my relatively new computer, but to no avail! Finally, we found another person's computer that has more RAM and my son is able to play it finally. Needless to say, it has been difficult for our son to remain patient. He has loved Star Wars since he was six. He loves the game. And, it has been a two year saga of failed attempts until recently. Even now, it is not ideal. And, he is grateful that he CAN play his game (now that we own both versions, though neither work at home!!)^M
Will not run on new Mac's
the manufacturer needs to state upfront that the game will not run on the new intel based macs. I too called Aspyr and they said they are trying to come up with a patch, but don't know when that will happen. As of now it is not high on their priority list. We would not have purchased had we known. ^M
DOES NOT OPERATE ON MAC MINI!
Just be aware it does NOT work on the MAC Mini with the dual core chip. Only "OLD" MAC products. I've called the manufacturer of the game to verify this. "Maybe" in the future, but obviously not now. A shame as that's what a lot of kids are getting these days as an inexpensive but quality computer.^M
