Adobe Shockwave Player for Mac

CNET Editors' review

Adobe's latest version of Shockwave Player browser plug-in works like a charm, running with ease any and all of the Web games we played during testing. The latest version downloads quickly, and even though the installation process launches your browser to complete the setup, the process flows smoothly with no slowdowns. In fact, the browser launch helps determine whether your installation is successful; if you're able to view the Shockwave video after the browser opens, you're good to go.

Our tests turned up nothing to make us worry. We experienced no glitches or problems. For gamers, Shockwave Player is a must-have. Users at any level of expertise should have no qualms about installing or upgrading Shockwave Player.
