Chrome vs Meat May 17, 2010
J. Garrett (IL, USA)
So far, I have been a fan of the 4th edition of Shadowrun, and this book only improves my opinion of the game. If you are wanting to play a character who Chromes themselves out (ie: uses mechanical augmentation, cybernetics) then this book is for you. Not into Chrome? Prefer flesh? No problem, this book has bioware covered too. Lots of new information about how such things are viewed in the world. Lots of new ways to customize your characters. Great fiction (as expected in an SR book). Well worth it, I cannot recommend it enough for Shadowrun players.
 Not bad February 12, 2010

This has a few nice positive qualities to take the sting out of implants. It also has some gene augmentation stuff to make a runner more buff. It has a new pieces of wear that are nice, but nothing that's a must have. It's merely a good source of new ideas in the vein of implants.
Truly a 'core rulebook' August 20, 2009

Augmentation is an interesting read and offers alot more goodies. The extra rules sections are probably unnecessary unless your group is particularly fond of micromnanagement. But the book is well set out and provides plenty of material for GM and players alike. The pages are paper, making them easy to damage and the cover art is simply horrible, but the content is worth the price.
Intriguing yet Plausible April 18, 2009

This book offers a very comprehensive review of the body modification technology in the Shadowrun setting. The information is well indexed with logically set up tables and rules, and comes with very interesting fiction and explanation of the pseudoscience and cultural reaction behind each modification/augmentation option in the world.
From science fiction tropes such as mechanical eyes and cyborgs to esoteric ideas such as genetically modified symbiotes that can be placed in humans, the book extrapolates the practical applications of various cutting-edge technologies being developed today with enough scientific explanation to not strain credulity and enough fluff to avoid a mental meltdown.
Good addition February 21, 2009

This book offers quite a few more options as far as upgrading ones characters with bio or cyberware. This book also goes more in depth into the symbiotes and what they can do.
