Inside Mac Games (IMG)
When it came to reviewing the Mac conversion, I was expecting not to be very impressed. Imagine my surprise, then, to find that most of the anticipated shortcomings failed to materialize. It's true that the game has its problems, but few of them seem really serious. The many implementation and stability issues that I read about are simply not present in the Mac version. PC users may have had to endure what seemed like an early beta release, but now, half a year later, the game feels properly finished and polished on the Mac.

Also making certain areas more difficult are the "sluggish" controls. I've read other reviews in which people really complain about this, but I'm not certain they get it. In AOD, when you command Lara to run, it takes a second for her to do so. This doesn't seem to be a control problem, but rather an attempt at realism. People don't hop from a dead stop to a run instantly (unless said people are Barry Sanders), they build up to it. Now, so does Lara.
