Rating: Summary: Maybe if the rules were better explained... Review: The rule book for this game is so incomprehensive in a first reading, it's ridiculous. If you go to tsr.com you'll see a FAQ for the game and there are several complaints about contradictions (several) in the rule book. The wording is poor when used to describe a "simple" game. There is too much rambling and way too much stalling. It seems whenever you try to look for something like, say, "damage". Under the heading of the same name it says something like "we'll get back to that". Or under a part that says "What happens when I get hit" it says something like "We wont talk about that just yet". It's almost driven me mad... But, alas, the game has potential, if not its writer. I sort of prefer the old game better, but I look forward to trying this new format out with my friends... once this rule book guy gets his act together and releases a more readable version... for free!
Rating: Summary: This game rules!!! One of the best Super Heroes RPG ever!!! Review: This game is Great! One of the best super heroes RPG that I have ever seen! The rules are great and they work fine for all types of heroes (with superman's powers or with frogman's like powers). Some people say that the book lack of some rules, but come on? For a Heroes universe? You can't have all rules. Imagine: Pag 12.385 - Rules for buildings falling over you. In most of the cases you just have to use you imagination. The games gives you the super hero feeling that you have in comics, like pushing limits, recovery during fights, and so. The system can work on a very random way, using the cards and the aura rules; you also have options to creat events to give some spice to all situations. This is a MUST HAVE for everyone who likes a fast, simple and fun system! Lack of rules? How much damage would a bomb do? Same as a a puch from Thor? Maybe a punch from Spider-man? With this, you solve most of your problems using imagination!
Rating: Summary: Unbelievably imaginable and simple, yet not simplistic Review: This has got to be the easiest way to learn what RPG is all about. I suggest this game for the novice or beginner. But, I also give a strong vote for it for well advanced players since the only true rules in the game are self-imposed blocks on one's imagination.I could go on and on with countless positive experiences I have has with this game system but I strongly suggest for you to check it out for yourself. Be patient and discover a new universe.
Rating: Summary: The original was far better Review: This new system is cumbersome and poor for gameplay. The diceless system takes much of the element of chance an enjoyment out of the game. I am sorry I ever bought it and can't rate it poorly enough.
Rating: Summary: Extremely Favorable. Review: This new version of the Marvel Super Heroes RPG is wonderful! The gameplay has been improved dramatically, and as such the true feel of the comics action is gained. With a good Judge, there is hardly a chance to catch your breath.
Rating: Summary: Written for the 60's not the 90's Review: Wake up Magic the Gathering. This game is not compatable with the internet. It uses an old card style system. The older system was and still is the Best system for the internet. Since, it used a 100 dice system. The even though the older system was written for the 80's it is very compatable with a lot of chat programs in the late 90's and 2000. Same thing with that Star Wars 6d system too. Magic the Gathering destoryed that system too. Even I can write or design a better game system.
