Why Saints Row 2 doesn't work (theories)

I believe that on Macbooks, the graphics card is not good enough for the game. The game is demanding on the system visually, and I found a site (http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=47&game=Saints%20Row%202) which allows you to see whether the game will work based on your specs.
The results say that with a better graphics card it will work. I used my Mid 2010 13" Macbook Pro (2.4 GHz version) 's specs.

(See the attachment link for the actual results)

However, the game should probably run on Mac minis, iMacs and Mac Pros, since they have better graphics cards.
It may also work on the new Macbooks- they have newer graphics cards, and I tested this on CXG 10.1.1 on my Macbook Pro 13" Mid 2010 version.
