 4e Gamer Review June 5, 2010
Daniel J. Caulder
0 out of 7 found this review helpful
The newest edition of the Dungeons and Dragons saga is simple. Convenient and expensive to attracted new players with new cash. But mechanically, the system is a step back in gamer evolution. It does cater to amine' fans and the WOW crowd. But doesn't offer the depth or insight experienced gamers crave. If you're new to Role-playing, start here. If you're an experienced gamers, this product is a flaccid, stinky bomb.
Synopsis - if you don't know what's good in RPG, this is a learning experience. If you're already experienced, pass on this product.

 More Monsters, Updated Monsters for 4th Edition December 22, 2009
Sacramento Book Review (Sacramento, CA)
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
One of the problems when a company decides to update a game system and overhaul all the rules is that all the previous release becomes void, and a gamer wanting to stay with the most recent version finds themselves having to re-buy the books they already own. Another is when there isn't much new in the updated books, causing much wailing and gnashing of teeth (or flaming on Internet bulletin boards.)
The recent change from Dungeons & Dragons from version 3.5 to 4.0 has been one of those major overhauls that is either greeted with joy or pain. The new Monster Manual 2 threads between those two extremes well enough that most players buying the book won't feel abused and find plenty to use within its covers. Old monsters are updated, some new ones are introduced. This is a supplement to the first Monster Manual, so it includes non-human races introduced in the Player's Manual 2 and updates old one from previous editions--Centaurs, Half-Elves, Half Orcs, and more. Some of the more interesting creatures are the metallic dragons and the mechanical Warforged. The index in the back makes it easy to find monsters by level, and the encounter groups sprinkled throughout the book make it easy for a DM to create adventures on the go. Recommended for players and groups that have made the shift to 4th Edition.

4e products have been a disappointment in their short history and the Monster Manuel 2 is no different. This book is a list of stat block and pictures. No ecology, no story, attitude, anything. It seems that WoTC tried to pack some stats on pagers, got lazy with the ecology and printed a book. Evil chromatic dragons and unaligned metallic dragons, where is the balance? Again in the rush to sell products WoTC has taken short cuts and made a table top game feel like a video game.
