Title: Perfect combination of story and play
Product review: If only more of this team's games were ported to the Mac! This is one of the best games I've played in years. Like some other strategy games, you control a team with various abilities, and there are multiple solutions to many of the challenges. But in this one, you get to be Robin Hood! There's a path for those who like to kill and ways to win with almost no bloodshed. It has humor, drama, and spectacular scenery. There's a satisfying number of challenges but a widely varied range of difficulty settings. I can't say enough good things about this game. It's easier and more low-key than Starcraft or Diablo--two of my all-time favorites. And it's slightly less engrossing than Escape Velocity, the best game ever designed for the Mac. But the blend of story, intercut movies, voices, and game play is almost impossible to beat. I can't believe that "Dead or Alive," this team's other game, isn't available for OS X. It's almost enough to make me want a PC.
