While I ran it on a new MacBook 2.4 GHz and used the 9600GT graphics card at highest settings, I found the graphics to be remarkably dated. The opening movies pretty much speak to the quality of this adaptation to Mac. But, you’ll spend very little time in watching your attacks because you’ll keep switching perspectives to map mode (to command your ships) and aircraft mode (so you can launch your planes). One of the greatest joys of the game is witnessing your coordinated attacks succeed from the perspective of a dive bomber. Frustratingly, you’ll find your view of the final Midway battles to be in map mode with quick jumps to your carriers so you can launch fighters. While you can take control of any one ship or any one plane, this leads to the rest of your battle group going on autopilot and meander aimlessly into enemy fire. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can order individual flights and ships while controlling them, but there is no way to lead the charge in a B-17 and tell your destroyers to cover your butt while you go in for a bombing run. While playing, you have to almost exclusively be in map mode in order to control your battle groups. It’s frankly too much “everything” to command at points. Sadly, the most frustrating aspect of the gameplay is the command system. The difficulty level of the missions isn’t a steady slope to climb, but rather resembles an EKG line. For certain missions they’ll do all the work for you and other times they’ll decide to become pacifists in the middle of an artillery barrage. Your fellow pilots have the survival skills of lemmings, thus making winning missions extremely difficult at times.
