Summary: Classic horror roleplaying
Comment: Classic horror roleplaying at its best, this book is the latest edition of one of the most enduring product lines in the industry. With more than 300,000 copies sold and an armful of industry awards this game is an excellent example of a complete system in one book In this game, the players are ordinary folks battling against the sanity-sapping horrors of the Cthulhu mythos made famous by H. P. Lovecraft. The basic rules have not changed much through five incarnations, mostly due to its completeness and elegant simplicity which made it such a joy to play. Call of Cthulhu also introduced rules for sanity and a whole range of phobias and pyschological disorders which often produced some of the most memorable experiences in gaming.
This new edition features tight, concise writing, terrific artwork, and wealth of information and ideas for GMs and players and is a sterling example of how a game should be put together. More importantly, this game actually encourages role play (since threatening any of the otherworldly horrors is a good way to die painfully) and captures the stark horror of the Lovecraft novels perfectly. A worthy addition to any rolegamers shelf.

Summary: The best RPG I have ever played
Comment: "Call of Cthulhu" is hands-down my favorite RPG. I have been playing it for about 15 years now, and have to yet to get bored with it. In a testament to it's quality, the core rule book has gone through 5 editions without any changes to the core rules. This version, the 5th edition, is improved by higher production value, nicer art, inclusion of spells/artifacts created for various adventures over the years, and the necessary addition of H.P. Lovecraft's signature story, "The Call of Cthulhu."
"Call of Cthulhu's" strength is in it's simplicity. The basic d100 system allows for near instant character creation and absorption of the rules. As an RPG, it is a non-combat game that focuses more on roleplaying and atmosphere. (Indeed, investigators who are combat happy will be short lived. "Call of Cthulhu" is famous for it's high body count.)
This system has won pretty much every RPG award available. It is the "system of choice" for my regular gaming group of 10 years. Possibly the best roleplaying game ever made.
