The reviews are right when they say you have to change the graphics settings to medium. This game is great! I have a 13' MBP i7 2.73 processor with just the standard intel graphics card 256MB.

Same with a graphics chip/card that is properly cooled. On my brother's 13' MBP, though, with Intel HD Graphics 3000 (integrated graphics on the CPU), there were no freezes. Therefore I can conclude that the reason why the freezes occur is because the discrete GPU (discrete = separate chip, such as all ATi and nVIDIA chips) is overheating!! This most likely will occur on mobile machines, such as MacBooks (all types) and iMacs. When I swapped out that card with a Geforce GTS 250 that had active cooling (fans), the freezes went away. There is a reason why the game freezes: on my desktop I was using a GeForce 9600 GT that used passive cooling (passive cooling = no fans), and I also got lockups and freezes. You have to find out how the gameplay works I suggest to read the manual (there's an option to read it upon opening the app). And I feel that point is worth emphasizing this is not a game you can simply download and play out of the box. This came is absolutely amazing!!! Graphics are stunning, and gameplay is very intrigueing, albeit with a large learning curve. I'd like to clear up all the freezing complaints!! GPU: 256MB OpenGL 2.0+ discrete NVIDIA/AMD card or Intel HD Graphics 3000
