No support whatsoever - Version: 1.0, 8/12/2008 05:52PM PST

Program installed (box version) fine on my PowerMac and played fine. Voices are cheesy but you can turn them off. Play is fine. Interface is definitely "un-Mac-like", but tolerable. Upgraded to an iMac (Intel) and game no longer launches (kernel error). Tried installing the download (1.0.1) but it won't take the registration. Re-installed box version and it crashes. Contacted MacGameStore (forwarded to ActiveMark or Trymedia). Very, very tedious trying to submit a support request, and when you finally do, you get no response. System says 24 hours, but in 24 days they still have not responded (even submitted a second request).

In short, if it installs and runs, game play is very good. But if you need support, forget it.

Crude and clunky - Version: 1.0.1, 7/5/2008 07:13AM PST

GUI violates the last nine years of Macintosh conventions for no good purpose, unless you're nostalgic for System 7. Goes to full-screen by default. Embarrassingly cheesy opponent voices and animations have to be turned off individually. It likely works well, but it's too damned ugly to be enjoyable.

I bought the Retail Boxed version 1.0 at the Apple store. I downloaded the "digital" version 1.0.1 from VersionTracker. The download version will not accept the registration code from the boxed version. I have been to the "EncoreUSA" and the "Mega Mac Game Store" with no joy. (:-( Looks like those of us who have the Retail Boxed Version from the Apple Store are being left out in the cold!
