Summary: Pretty, but boring
Review: This game is fun to look at, with several actual clips from the show and some nice graphics. But there's precious little exciting about it. You have to wait up to a minute for every section of the game to download, which is a huge drag. And even though you are able to fine-tune your relationships with the other players it makes little difference in the tribal council voting -- characters that you are supposed to have an alliance with will vote you off anyway. Plus, for some reason my cursor doesn't work during the survival and challenge periods, which makes it sort of difficult to play. But these aspects of the game are boring anyway, and the challenges are similar to simple kiddy video games. Buy this game only if you are dying of curiosity.

Summary: No wonder this title was late
Review: This game was obviously in no shape to be released when it was scheduled to, and I am not even sure it is now. I am a big fan of the show, and I have to say that i had a hard time having fun with this game. The challenges tend to be tedious, and not really anything like the ones on the show, and the interaction with the other players is unsatisfactory. My tribe came into the merge with a majority after some nice challenge wins. Yet I was unable to convince them to vote as a block after the merge (no problem before), meaning the other tribe easily took us out one by one. The game has the obvious feel of a pc game that has been converted, with no real mac feel at all. None of the standard mac commands such as save, quit and so forth work. The interface then feels sub-standard. Even more interesting, the indexing started about half-way through the game because I walked off to get a snack, and there was no way to get back to the finder to shut it off, making my gameplay very choppy.In addition, I found no way to save the game half-way through, which means you have to play the entire game in one sitting. After a couple of hours, with the indexing problem running through challenges which meant I kept losing, I just quit the game, and never came back to it again. So from an avid fan who had been loking forward to this game for quite a while, I have to say beware of this one. I bought another MacSoft title a couple of days earlier, Tropico, and I went back to it instead of torturing myself further with this one.

Summary: only if your a fan of the show
Review: This is a good program but if you are not a fan of the show I wouldnt get it. What I didnt like was the part when they talk to each other. It is canned typed speech. If you are a fan of the show get it.
