Close Combat: First to Fight is an absolute joy to play on the Mac. I'm not afraid to say that this is the best action-shooter on the Mac--probably ever. If you tire easily of the boredom of Quake 3 or Halo, you'll rejoice at CC:FTF. The "approved by the Marines" marketing angle is cute, but who cares if it isn't fun? And this game is fun. The most important thing you should know is this game is designed well. Very well! The whole game bespeaks quality, from the high quality 3D engine to the in-game cinematics, to the sound effects and UI. If it sounds like I'm gushing about this game, it's because I am. I hope they will release many expansion packs with new, unique missions and challenges. I wrote a similar review on CC:FTF on Amazon.com as I'm writing here. This game is amazing. When was the last time you kept coming back to your first-person shooter? Quibbles? A few. Once you're done with single-player mode, you're really done with the game. Playing on the higher difficulty doesn't give the game any new life. Also, some of the missions are also on the boring side--like an arcade shooter. Finally, the game color palette of grays, blacks, whites, and a few colors, gets old. The game could really do with some more visual eye-candy. MacSoft! Destineer! Please work on expansion packs and other well-designed 3D games like this. Well done!
