Over all a great game, excellent graphics and sound, but on my iMac 27" it crashes way to much. My suggestion - SAVE A LOT!! Oh, and YES you can play AND create Scenario's EVEN on the Mac Version. You can also create a custom island, goals, resources, etc. I'd have to say the replay value is excellent! To find out how... RTFM You'll find it very instructive on Random Island (from Sandbox mode) and Scenarios (how to create and play them.) IF the crash issue was fixed, I'd give this 6 Stars.

I like being the "good guy". Unfortunately, I am required in this game to be the dark force. What e-v-a-r.

My biggest complaint, however, is that the "boss fights" completely change point of view and control perspective. It is so frustrating and makes no sense. Why should the big fights change interface from the rest of the game? Oh, and if you like hanging out in junk yards, you will love this thing. If not, well - tough trash cans. ;-)

At the end of the day Company of Heroes is pretty easy to recommend - as long as you can accept its a single player only game. The gameplay is brilliant, the tactical options deep and varied, and the multiple campaigns are fun, well voiced and will keep you busy for awhile. $50 does seem a bit high to ask for a campaign only title, but you have about 40-50 hours of gameplay here as well. World War 2 strategy fans won't regret picking this up, its an intense, realistic and engaging recreation of WW2. Check it out.

I've been looking for this, especially available as a Mac download. I just got a Mac and didn't realize how hard it was to find downloads! Anyways, I really liked this game when it came out a while back and I've always hoped they will come out with a new version of it. However, I know Lionhead Studios has their website under construction, so I'm not sure what that says about the company.

Purchased Assassin's Creed 2, based on the overview and outline of the game from the publisher. I was intrigued by the story line and took a chance on it. What joy - the game is quite simply the astounding. From the graphics to the playability - but it is the story that keeps you interested.

I play on a MacBook Pro and have no issues (model late 2008). I know that some have cited the lack of gamepad as a problem, but after playing for a few hours the keyboard controls actually work very well and you get used to them (and dare I say like them).

As a sideline, I enjoyed (and still do) Assassin's Creed 2 so much that I purchased a PS3 just to play Assassin's Creed 1. And it is for this reason that I compare playing on keyboard vs gamepad. While I like the gamepad, I honestly prefer the keyboard controls. (It's probably since I started playing on keyboard first, and I am sure that I will get used to the gamepad).

I play with subtitles on and there is a sync issue where the dialog (audio) completes before the cut-away scenes are completed in some cases. That's the only flaw (bug on the mac port) that I can see.

In short, the AC games are amazing.

Im still continuing the game. I think that it's fairly hard and it has a fun story to go with it. It's not super scary at all. Its way better than all of the horror hidden object games these days. They need to make more mac games like this and less of those. This is probably the worst part of having a mac. You can't play pc games...
