 Fucking good, that's my first comment(and I am not a big Star Wars fan). What looks like nothing more than Doom with SW characters and textures is, suprisingly, a LOT MORE! The engine is amazingly smooth and quick, the textures a very defined and quite pretty, the sound...the sound is straight out of the movies. With mission based objectives, lots of enemies and some very impressive levels this is everything you could imagine a FPS SW game could be.
Getting it to run:

Difficulty: Easy
Configuring iShock: Moderate

 Installation is a snap, just pop in the CD and drag the folder of whichever install you want to use onto you HD. Damn easy!

The iShock is a different matter. The in-game options menu has a section for "configure joysticK", but this is ONLY for the joysticks that are recommended for use with the game(listed on the game CD) so it's of little use as NOONE has any of them anymore. To configure the iShock you will have to look at the game's keyboard config and assign the specific buttons to the iShock that you would like to use. This is, of course, done through the iShock's app menu.

There is one bug that will happen ever so often: While strafing and turning with the iShock, the game will occasionally freak out and your character will just keep running in circles. If this happens, and you are in a relatively safe place go ahead and save the game real quick. Exit the game, load up your saved game and it the controller should be working fine.
Learning from your own mistakes is an incredible thing, and after doing each and every one of these I think you will find much enlightenment in what I like to call:

Tips to avoid feeling like a complete jackass:

* Even though you have three install options(small, medium and large) go for the large install as it only takes 33.5 megs and doesn't have to access the CD very much at all.
* The game will NOT run without the CD, be sure to put it in before playing.
* Jack all of the games settings to their highest degree, your Mac can easily handle it and the game will look and sound ALOT better than what it's initially set to.
* Set your screen resolution to 640X480 before starting the game.
