Summary: Star Wars Battlefront Not Officially Supported on Intel Macs
Comment: 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."

Summary: Intel Macs Beware
Comment: 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

Summary: Battlefront
Comment: Bought this months ago and still playing it regularly. Runs great on Intel Mac. Wish it had more levels/worlds.

Summary: Star Wars Battlefront MAC/POWERPC
Comment: I have an Intel MacBook, the game plays ok but could have a faster FPS. Rumor is the Lucas Arts will come out with patch for this game in 07 for Intel machines....then it could be a great game, playing both sides your choice good or my prefered Dark force side!!!

Summary: GOOOD
Comment: This game is not as good as battlefront 2 but it's still a great game. you can play as whoever you want. the only problem is that the computers are stupid, they stand around doing nothing unless you tell them to follow you.
