Very, very cool. Like most 3D games, Dark Vengeance runs best with hardware rendering enabled, although the software rendering does the trick for those without a 3D card. On my G3 with 6MB RAGE Pro, the game ran like a champ with highest details on, so most Mac gamers should be able to squeeze decent performance out of this game. The sounds and music in Dark Vengeance add to the evil atmosphere. Footsteps echo through halls, lightning crackles and explodes in the air, landed blows resonate like the sound of a boot to the head.
Music is appropriately gothic but relegates itself to the background.
Dark Vengeance also supports GameRanger, which is a huge boon for Mac gamers looking for multiplayer action on the net. Multiplayer is worth looking into not only for the incredible arsenal of weapons available, but also for the variety of gameplay that the different characters offer. Overall, Dark Vengeance is a jack of all trades, master of none. Reality Bytes did a pretty good job of combining a few well-established genres into a game that feels familiar without being derivative. The game doesn't excel in any one particular area, but it still does most things well enough to warrant a serious look from any gamer.
