Hey Bman

I've never played this game but when I'm in doubt I follow IGNs reviews and heres what they had to say on it

Granted it's the PC version but they are the same usually. So I'd say pick it up.

Sure thing. Any chance you could either post or PM me and let me know how it is? Maybe I'll pick it up too.

I just bought it a few days ago. However, I really don't have much faith on the whole PC>Mac game conversion, I have heard there are many bugs when they do this. My reccomendation would be to buy it if you don't plan on putting boot camp on your computer, but if you have boot camp, (XP or Vista), then buy the game for windows.

Its a fun game haha!

It's a cool game... I bet it would be a great way to 'test out' your new computer.

I only have it for windows though.

However, I like battlefield 2 much better...
