I want to play Rainbow Six on my Macbook. How can I play it on Mac OS X?

I just ordered Rainbow Six for Mac. It says it will not play on the Mac OS X operating system. Is there anyway around that?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.6)

It does play on Mac OS X: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/games/demos_updates/rainbowsix3ravenshield .html Just probably not newer Intel Macs if you read the specs. Unfortunately drivers of Mac OS X prior to 10.6 are quite difficult to run on 10.6 because it requires not only running Rosetta, but the PowerPC drivers

made for Mac OS X.

You might find an alternative version on my FAQ*: http://www.macmaps.com/macgamepages.html

Note, unless specs call for 10.6, or Intel Mac compatibility, the chances of it running on Intel Macs without installing windows are quite slim when it comes to games.
