Recommend Product: YES

I bought this game when I purchased a new Dual 2.0 G5, upgraded with a Radeon 9800 Pro (retail) and a 23" Cinema Display. I also purchased a Logitch Wingman Force Feedback wheel.

Racing sims for the Mac are few and far between so it pleases me to no end what a brilliant piece of work Total Immersion Racing is. The game play, graphics, sounds and action are fantastic and this runs up there with some of the best PC games I've played. My only gripe with the game itself (and TIR isn't the only racing sim afflicted) is the lack of damage from hitting objects or other cars making the action more arcade like than simulation. None-the-less the game is a MUST HAVE for any Mac fan with fast enough CPU and a love for racing.

One word of warning for any ATI 9800 Pro users. Using ATI's control panel to turn on the FSAA, Anisotropic Filterning or Vertical Sync will cause the game and the entire system to crash. Repeatedly. It looks beautiful while it lasts and the game is still playable on my equipment in full screen mode (1920x1200) with the Radeon settings at medium but it's impossible to get more than 4-5 laps. Turn it off.
