4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, needed a little more though!, April 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Rifts World Book 8: Japan (Paperback)

This book was great! It combined old mysticism with amazing technology. The only thing it was missing was that the cool motorcycles and other vehicles that were pictured, but were not given stats on! It also made Japan seem less powerful than the "NGR" (technology wise). The old mystics (like the traditional ninja and samurai) are a little weak, as they had low mega-damage stats and refuse to use technology so you can't even fit them into a suit of power armor to protect them! A lot of it was rehash too, like the Japanese "Samas" operator and the Japanese "Glitterboy". Other than that, the weapons were pretty cool, the possible adventures are good, the OCCs are excellent, and if you combine this book with "Ninjas and superspies" it really brings it to life!

4.0 out of 5 stars Over all a good book, February 16, 1999

This review is from: Rifts World Book 8: Japan (Paperback)

The entire book was great. It has some wonderful new O.C.C., granted a few are a bit cheesey, great weapons, and, of course, the Dragon Borgs, but the best part had to be the addition of the Mega-Damage shotgun!

If you like anime, ninjas, samurai, and demons then this is the book for you. Details about the different powers in Japan and how they feel about technology. You can go from one part of Japan where your fighting the classic ninja and end up in another part fighting ninja borgs, crazies, juicers, and techno-wizards. Plus, power armor and robots from the time before the rifts return to Japan when pre-rifts cities get rifted in. Great book
