A friend of mine owns a gaming shop, and we popped open a copy to use as the store copy. Got some people interested in the game at a relatively small cost, and the SR3 books started selling off the shelves like hotcakes and i got 8 new people wanting to play my game. If you already own any Shadowrun stuff it's not worth it, but if you just want to check the game out it's a great tool for new players. You'll still need to nab SR3 or SR2 if you want to seriously play, but this book is a good way to see if you're interested especially if you don't know anyone who owns a copy of either edition that you can borrow or read.

I'll be honest. This book helps you with the basics. But you NEED the SR3 book, its just so much better. This book provides a pretty good START, but if you wish to continue, you would do better to check out the subjects described in the book, in the SR3. It's not even an equipment list! Whats up with that? An if you want to start off by creating your own characters, you should get the SR3 too. My final rating? Useless without SR3, great for explaining basics. (Also it's great for players generally... cuz it explains the basics VERY well) But FASA should do better next time. Besides... what about the sample mission? GREAT. That's one of the highlights in my opinion...
