The Mac version is basically a proprietary version of Wineskin, which uses the Wine project here.

Because it's basically converting all the Windows functions into something a Mac can do, there can be times when the game is not very optimized. Unless you have a reasonably new Mac with a dedicated graphics card in it, you probably will not be getting amazing performance out of the game. (Also, don't play in native retina resolution unless you want to have a bad time).
If you can, I'd say Bootcamp is the way to go. You'll get much better performance out of the game. Or if you're comfortable with running command line programs, I'd say just give Wine a try. The version compiled for Macs should include all the tools to set up the environment, and it'll run about as well as the "real" Mac version.
But if you've got the license key to spare, or already bought it, then I'd say give the Mac version a shot. ...it can have some quirks, but it should be fully playable.
