Latest Update Improves Stability

1.0.1 Update: The latest update has addressed the major problem of the game crashing while deleting/loading saves for me. It was an annoying problem that I did not realize until after my review. Im glad Aspyr has addressed this error even though it took them the better part of 2 months to fix. I just hope next time Aspyr can push out updates earlier because I finished the game a month ago. Especially since the save bug was quite an annoyance and was an integral part of the game.

Back in October of last year, I was looking forward to RAGE since it was supposed to be cross platform. I was very disappointed when it was Windows and console only, and I quickly gave up any chance of itll be arriving to the Mac. Now just a few months later, here it is! It was a instant buy for me having the game 4 months overdue. You couldnt believe some of my friends seeing that I was playing RAGE natively on Mac OSX. Especially since everyone believes Mac cant play games, here is a slap in their face.

My specs are: Early 2011 Macbook Pro 13", 2.3 GHz Dual Core i5, Intel 3000 HD Graphics 512 VRAM, 8 GB DDR3 RAM. At such a high calibre game as RAGE, I thought my Macbook would run the game on low-medium settings at best. Instead I was really surprised that it could run high settings while averaging 30-40 FPS. The blurry texture loading that was reported on Windows only occurs sometimes for me.

Overall, this is not a cheap Cider port! Aspyr has done a great job porting the game over to the Mac. At $40, it lacks multiplayer support, but it makes up for it with all the DLC included. Not sure if it makes up for the extra $10 price point as the Steam version is $30. I hacked off one star for the lack of multiplayer support and the steep price. Dont let that fool you from a great game like this. If youve been waiting for this game, now is your chance!
