I can't rate this game because the performance is too poor, even though I have met the minimum requirements. I use a Macbook Air 3, 2, but can run Bioshock, Arkham Asylum and The Darkness 2 with little trouble, but this game simply doesn't run, no matter if it's windowed, and set to 'LOW' - is still shows litterally three frams per second. Too bad to - this game supports an Xbox controller - one thing I am always looking out for.
My 2011 MBA runs at 1.9 GHz, below the system requirements. There were no performance issues, and the fan did not come on right away. Sometimes when the system resources are stained a bit, the computer heats up a lot. That was not the case here; there are no problems to report.
This title did not initially work when I first installed it, but after I re-installed the fixed version, I had little more trouble with it.
I have this game for my Original Xbox, and this version that I installed on my Macbook Air is better. The first thing I noticed was that there are more options in creating your protagonist; two more species are available here, with many more variations of each species' characteristics.
I cannot say why this version is better looking than the Xbox version because I do not know what rendering options are used for the Original Xbox. All I know is that I can set all the rendering option of this version all the way up, and it looks better with no performance issues.
The cheat codes for this title are the same as in the PC version, for those wanting to know. But if you use the All Force codes, you will get stuck between levels because you cannot select Force powers that are already maxed out; if you cannot upgrade Force powers, you cannot move to Weapon Select and begin the next level.
I had trouble with my USB Xbox 360 controller. It uses independent drivers, and that may be why it doesn't work. I otherwise cannot say how well any other controller might work.
I see there are some issues with controls that some had. I used an app that binded key commands to a USB Xbox 360 controller, and had no trouble at all.
Of the other Telltale games (such as Monkey Island, Jurassic Park, Hector, Puzzle Agent, etc.) This title is among the most likable, with so much going for it.
The voice acting here is surprisingly good; the voices sound just like the actors in the Back to the Future movies (I checked the credits - they are not the original, but are very good impersonators).
The episodes are not very long, though the same can be said about all the other above-mentioned Telltale titles. But given that all five episodes are here, these is little cause to complain about length.
Nothing great going on here. This title is average and unremarkable in absolutely every way.
And it is a puzzle game more than anything. The object seems to be moving blocks around a seriously uninspired landscape to - and you'll love this (not) - get to a pair of pants. If there is any more to this game, I got bored and quit before I got to it. This game is $9.99 (my good luck to have "found" it on sale. What would be better than paying $9.99 for this game? Anything, anything at all.
I have this game for my iPad, as well as for my Macbook Air. The environments are very rich and surreal; vivid, almost florescent imagery. It is otherwise a creative, side-scrolling puzzler. I have not completed the game, but I am in the phase of the game where I can switch between two glowy-like creatures that have unique, respective abilities that will allow the gamer to progress through the story. If you've seen either of the Trine series, then you will have a good idea of what the graphics are like in this game. I do believe this title is available for consoles too, such as Xbox Live.
Postal was the first game to really pull all the stops while pushing the edge of the envelope. Postal 2 was the first FPS to really do the same. With the cheat codes, I get just what I really, really want in a game - an uninterrupted kill! Kill! Kill fest...
