The game is excellent, but the approach takes a long time to plot and in the end it’s not really worth it, the graphics are really excellent, and the storyline is too, but the loading also takes quite a long time. Pretty excellent by and large.

Read the book, play the game!
I have an Imac DV SE and this runs very well. Only a couple of memory lockups, no jerking on max options. Definitly do max install if you have space. Have yet to play online.
The game does look a small dated (compared to Q3, or Unreal Tournament), but it’s the only game of it’s type for the Mac. You _must_ be cunning, plot well, and have ultra quick head-shots! Yes the AI is pretty average. The Terrorists defend very well, whereas your elite special force dudes get stuck on doors, jam themselves in hallways and fail to check side-rooms that 4 of their buddies just died walking past…
I must admit I like make plans work that need no intervention from me. Just dump one set aside guy in a team by himself, and watch the others from the map (or using overlook in Eagle Watch). Sometimes it works, sometimes it dont. On Simple. On Experienced person or Elite difficulty they will just die like dogs.
Splendid game, suspenseful, and more intellectually challenging than Quake any day. Can’t wait for Rogue Spear to appear on the Mac, hopefully the bots will be smarter.

Does not work in OSX, even in systems which support the “Classic” environment. Requires a pre-OSX Mac to play. Other titles from this series which do work in OSX are Rogue Spear (requires a PowerPC with Classic Mode), Ghost Recon (works on a PowerPC and should work on a Core Duo) and Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield (should work on any OSX Mac).

I’ve killed off his characters so many times in this game! Yet somehow, Clark and Domingo always live owing to the books just fine… If I ever meet Mr. Clancy, I’ll have to confess to this, and agony probably not be too pleased with me.
What I’m trying to say is that this is a VERY hard game. Furnish your people any way you wish, send them in in brilliantly gifted ways–they’ll still die like lemmings on alacrity, leaving you saying things that I probably can’t print here.
Gameplay is incredibly realistic–a headshot kills. Cycle. None of that Hit point stuff you’re used to, where you can be shot 12 times and still keep moving. Realistic, I suppose… But extremely aggravating.
Graphics are very impressive–full 3-D, making a very immersive environment. A best comparison would be to a game like “Thief:the Dark Scheme” where the player can go in all directions freely. Unfortunately this also means that a high-end video card is necessary.
A splendid concept, but only so-so in the execution. More difficulty in the attacks and personal hurt would vastly increase the breed… Ballistic armor should at least be of some use.

What a game…splendid graphics, heart-pounding gameplay, brilliant weapons, engrossing plot. It’s really splendid! But, it has some problems. First of all, the other players are so stupid that I really need to be the only one DOING anything. I place all teams on hold and don’t let them go unless I’m controlling them. I wish there were better team controls–it’s unfortunate that you can only control the team leaders. In addition, this game crashes my computer SO MUCH. If they had tested the rotten PC port for about 10 hours they would have found some honest programming errors. What ever happened to SOLID programming! But I want to end this on a clear note, because I am addicted to it!
