Bioware At It's Best
This is quite simply a great game. Some folks will complain that it's not a REAL Mac app because it's Cider port, but I've played it through a couple of times now and don't recall having any significant problems.
The plot is wonderfully intricate as you begin as a student of Master Li at Two Rivers, advancing in skill and fighting styles, traveling through a multitude of locations. In typical Bioware fashion, the story line just keep going and going with side quests up the wazzoo.
The voice talent is also excellent, with notable appearances from Monty Python's John Cleese, and fans of Firefly and Castle may recognize Nathan Fillian as Gao the Lesser.
While the game was developed in 2005, the graphics are for the most part beautiful. Do yourself a favor and occasionally just stop and take a look around at your surroundings. Some of the locations are quite stunning.
The game itself is pretty basic compared to more modern games of this style. There are only three attributes to level up and no equipment to speak of. You do collect gems which you can equip to alter your stats and provide additional abilities, select fighting styles, a few of which include weapons, but that's about it.
Still, the plot is engaging and extensive, providing a good 20-30 hours of entertainment.
