How do these play with just a trackpad/keyboard? I have a 2011 Macbook pro and it's tempting if it plays well.
I can't imagine playing any game like this with a trackpad. Do you normally use the trackpad for third-person games? Have you tried other driving/racing games with just keyboard controls? You can always get a USB gamepad or Bluetooth mouse, etc. to use with your MBP for gaming. I found Vice City controlled very well with keyboard/mouse, switching to just keyboard and using the arrow keys while driving.
