Summary: Kevin overdid Camelot!
Comment: Rifts, England has some great stuff as far as magical entities and the fascinating Millenium Trees, but "MRRLYN"(a play off of the folk legend Merlin) and "Arrthru" (King Arthur)?! It really is a stretch. My group found it a little too cheesy for our taste. I think better things could have been done with the British Isles. If you've already bought most of the other Rifts Worldbooks, this one is worth buying, but my advice is to hold off until you get Phase World and Japan. I haven't read Austrailia yet, but I'm dreading seeing a picture of a giant Cyborg-Kangaroo or something even sillier!

Summary: Review of Rifts World Book: England
Comment: I was very excited that an American role-playing company had decided to represent Old Blighty, my native land. I purchased it with glee and trotted off home to read it. I was slightly disappointed, to tell the truth. It represents Britain as the usual "Green and Pleasant Land" treatment it usually gets in RPGs, or, as a friend said "Less interesting land". He does hate everything, though. England has recieved similar treatment in other games such as Changeling and TSR's Magitech. The new races are there, as one would expect from a rifts sourcebook, and they are very interesting. It's really not "Less interesting land", it's "Different Land". Perhaps too different? I think really it's just my gaming group's opinions versus Palladium's. In case you're wondering how it differs from America, then I'll tell you. England rejects technology, so there are no English punks, which seriously distressed one of my players. It's all very druidic, feudal and green. My only major gripes are that, because it's a Rifts supplement the layout is terrible and also you need loads of other supplements to use it well. If you're British, you'll probably want to alter the setting slightly.
