Video Game Reviews of Return to Castle Wolfenstein (Mac)Customer Review: Return to Castle Wolfenstein works fine on Mac OS-X Summary: 5 StarsWhile this isn't a newly released product, it's still a good one. I was greatly relieved to find all the familiar 'suspense inducing' trappings from the PC version affectionately recreated in the MacIntosh version. Following the adequate instructions for installation offered few problems during installation and the game performed as expected from there. There appears to be little to no difference between the versions. The PS/2 version of RTCW added about four to five levels prior to entering the castle, so I wasn't sure what the Mac Version would be like.
I was a big fan of RTCW from the PC version and still glad to find it so well represented now that I live on an Intel-based Mac Mini.
