| Bought this for my 12 year old son for his birthday (he had requested it). He absolutely loves it. I had a few issues installing it on his iMac running Leopard - after I loaded it, it wouldn't run. I did a lot of research online and could never come up with a solution, so I did what I always do as a last resort with computer issues - I rebooted the computer and then it worked fine. There are still a few issues - like, he has to remove the disk from the drive if he isn't playing the game or else when it goes into screen saver mode it locks up the computer. Other than that, it runs fine, and like I said - it is his favorite computer game. |

| I bought this for my sons and was disappointed that it would not work on our new Mac. After reading others' reviews, my husband contacted Aspyr and received directions on how to make it work with a patch. He had to patch it into the software that had already been downloaded under applications, and then restart the computer. It is now working beautifully and both of my sons give it 5 stars. |

| Ok, first off, any comments that you ,the reader, have read that say Battlefront runs poorly on an iMac Leopard are wrong, it runs perfectly well. Elaborate maps such as Endor on multiplayer run poorly because of the attention to detail, and that is the only problem that I have encountered. However, and these points are important, when you are asked by the computer for the game's CD-Key type it in lower-case or it won't work. Also, if the game does not open automatically, or you are not satisfied completely, go to Apple.com and download the patch, it makes the frame-rate flawless on all the maps except, as I said, Endor. |

 "Star Wars Battlefront Not Officially Supported on Intel Macs" | 2008-12-26 |

After struggling to install this Mac game, I contacted the folks and Aspyr and they very promptly, very politely let me know that this game is not offically supported on new Mac machines. I'll paste the instructions for a potential work around below - and when I get back from my holiday abroad I'll test it to see if it works and then update this review accordingly.
One note: I did not see the specified folder in my Library/Application Support.
From Aspyr Support:
"Even though this game is not officially supported on the new Macbook and Macbook Pro, this is a common error which can be fixed.
For this specific issue, try the patch located here:
[...]
Before attempting to install this patch, you will need to completely uninstall and reinstall Battlefront.
To remove Star Wars Battlefront, drag the Star Wars Battlefront folder on your computer's hard disk to the trash. Then locate the folder named "StarWarsBattlefront" located in Home/Library/Application Support and drag it to the trash. Be sure to also remove the receipt file from the old attempt to install the patch located in /Library/Receipts/BattlefrontRevA.pkg.
Once you have the game reinstalled and the receipt file thrown out. Apply the above patch."
UPDATE:
After following instructions provided by Aspyr, I was able to install and play Star Wars Battlefront on my Intel MacBook Pro. The initial launch of the application locked up the machine - but after powering down and restarting it the game and all other applications worked perfectly.

| If you have a new Mac, don't bother wasting your time, because it won't run on OS X Leopard. And of course, there's no patch, so seriously, do not waste your time or money |
