This game does not work on Macs with Intel chips. Before you buy, check your machine.
Rating: - Well, sux for you guys.
I don't have this version. I've got the one on Windows XP, and it runs just fine. I'd suggest you all buy that version instead. The only problem is, there was this time where you're in a snowy level and all these bombs start hitting, and you can only walk around for about ten seconds before more bombs smash the area, so you have to hide in a fox hole or a pit of dirt with a tent over it, and then there comes a time when you just can't do anything after that. The game froze up and stopped completely, taking me back to the desktop, so when I loaded it back up again, the graphics had gone from great, to blury and pixilated like the earlier MOH games. I've never made it past that point. But still, you'd be better off getting the version I got 'cause it doesn't have any problems besides the one I mentioned. The gameplay is just fine, and the bad guys actually die when you shoot them. The bullets don't just bounce off them like in Allied Assault and Breakthrough. Those are the other two I've got besides this one, so I know which ones are better than others as far as graphics. This is the best one in that area. So stay away from the MAC version, buy the Windows XP version, and that's a wrap.
Rating: - Buy this!
First, let me say that I had no problems running this game on my G5. Make sure you have good hardware and the latest updates and patches and you won't have any bug issues or frame rate problems.
This is an excellent game. I bought, in quick succession, all three parts of MOH for Mac. I will replay all three, too, probably several times. You get all sorts of new things in here that will please the MOH fan--and some really tough levels--the halftrack escape springs to mind.
Bottom line--PEOPLE! THIS IS A 10 BUCK UPDATE! That, in itself, is a no-brainer. Buy this and enjoy it. I'm sure you'll get more that 10 dollars worth of fun out of it!
Rating: - Demanding of hardware
This is a good add-on to Allied Assault, but you probably shouldn't try it unless you have the hardware to handle it. I first tried Spearhead on a G4 with 768 MB RAM, and eventually gave it up in frustration. In some levels (particularly the one that has you riding around on the top of a truck), the frame rate slowed down so much to make the level impossible.
However, I've recently gotten a G5 with 1 GB RAM, and tried Sprearhead again. This time, the computer was able to handle the graphics nicely, and I was finally able to beat that level, although it was still really tough. I found that the later missions (defending the frontline, and infiltrating Berlin) were quite fun.
All in all, a worthwhile purchase if you are not frustrated by slow performance.
Rating: - Huge Let Down
I loved Allied Assault, it had challange, yet ran smoothly and was beatable. But sadly, Spearhead is a major dissappointment. I made it to the Ardennes mission far to easialy, at which point it is unbeatable. My 800Mhz machine is running at about 2 fps for parts of it (the driving part), so is simply unbeatable. Friends with faster machines, even a duel 1 Ghz find it all but impossible. But on a positive note, the Multiplayer additions are very good, with New Maps, Skins (sadly they took out Manon :( ), Missions, and weapons.
