Has anyone tried Sacrifice yet? www.macgamer.com has a nice review up and like a lot of Mac games, it looks like there was some problems porting it. I'm pretty interested in it and was wondering if anyone here has played it yet.

I have it and have played it some on my TiBook (500)
Visuals are nice - it looks good and gameplay is pretty good.
Performance is OK - nothing stellar, but this isn't a cutting edge machine (the video card isn't good for games). I'd like a better frame rate since it's a little jerky at times. I'm guessing almost any desktop would be better.
Haven't got that far with it since I bought Giants: Citizen Kabuto at the same time and have spent most of my game time playing that.

What settings do you run sacrifcie at? I have a TiBook 667 with everything off and I can't get above 20 FPS. IMO the port is not very high quality

The problem is that laptops don't really offer nice speeds for games, because the provided 3D cards don't offer much help to the processor. On slower computers, I've often sacrificed graphic quality for performance (like reducing Q3 to 16 bit) and if you don't mind it, that should work.

I've stayed away from it due to the lack of Multiplayer mode.. I know its supposed to be forthcoming, its just a little sad that so many games these days get released half baked

Wow, starting up in 9 made it run silky smooth. I can run in full screen with medium detail and get perfect frames. I guess the X implementation just is bad
That's too bad, and I hope they fix that along with multiplayer in the forthcoming revision...
btw, do you any of you have problems with the 'a' key being unbound from turn left EVERY time you start the game?

A TiBook that is faster than 500Mhz has a 16MB Vid Card. So the card would not be the issue. Sounds like a sloppy port. The card in it handles others games on a Tower pretty well, even a B&W tower.

What kind of machine are you running it on where it was smooth in 9? I'm willing to boot into 9 if it helps a game, I already do it for Baldur's Gate.

I'm running a TiBook 667 with 512RAM. I was thinking about upgrading my RAM, but because Sacrifice has that bug, I guess I won't be upgrading any time soon
