Hip hop is my life, man. I dream about being a DJ or maybe a producer some day. My family’s on some hard times though. People with the ducats get to the top usually. Though J-Zay is from the hood.

I play just fine with a PB G4 at 1.33 GHz and 1.5GB SDRAM, frame buffer effects off, and at 1440 x 900 res!

Aquaria for Mac runs on Intel Macs and Macs with a G4 processor or higher.

So, it’s “Intel-ONLY ?” and NO PowerPC usage ??

One thing that I regrettably left out of the review is that there is a level editor included with the full game, allowing for user-created content. Now, of course, this depends on people actually creating content, but hopefully this game will catch on and a community will develop. But, even beyond that, I think that $30 is a fair price for over 20 hours of gameplay.

In my interview with John Champlin from Ambrosia, he had this to say:

The first time playing it through was something like 20 hours of straight gameplay. It’s large! We went to Macworld a while ago and my goal was to win it while I was there. I’ve probably won the game about 16 times…

What I didn’t post was that John said that the game has much to explore, so much in fact that you won’t be able to cover it through in one shot.

Also, what do you mean by re-playability? Much of the game is narrative and atmosphere. You should have enough fun playing through again and enjoying that?

I played the demo through, and I have to agree with the reviewer… the production quality, interface, voice acting, music, and graphics are all top notch. A few of the puzzles were frustrating because there were no indications of how to proceed.

The real problem, though, is that it’s a $30 title with ZERO replayability. At a lower price point I would have registered it, but for $30 I decided to pass.
