(More customer reviews)Alot of your opinion of this game rests on how realistic you want it to be. The game is fast and simple, but alot of people may think it is too simplistic. The game does accomplish it's purpose: It's an excellent roleplaying game with lots of information on the world of 'Dominion.' It's rules for mecha are great, as anything you can imagine can be constructed; tanks, jets, robots, battleships, space ships - you name it, you can build it. While the rules are comprehensive, they have very little depth and this is surprising. As anyone who has read his comics knows, Masamune Shirow puts incredible amounts of time and energy into designing his robots to be as plausible as possible. This system has very little detail and nothing is compulsory, so your players may come up with some very unrealistic vehicles.Combat works the same way. It's closer to Final Fantasy than to Rainbow Six. If you want detail and realism, go play GURPS. You won't find it here.On the other hand, this lack of realism is fairly well suited to a comedy like 'Dominion.' It lets your players enter firefights with good chances of survival and inflict incredible amounts of collateral damage. They'll probably get a kick out of the sheer amount of destruction they wreak, which is a very important part of 'Dominion's sense of humor.The only other problem with this book is the art. All of the pictures, except for the front and back cover, are images from the TV series. And while a few of these are nice, there is no original art AT ALL in this book. Of course, the TV images are a bit fuzzy, and one can only imagine all the cool diagrams and schematics they could have crammed in here.On the plus side, this book is compatible with all the other anime games Guardians of Order prints, so if you ever wanted to have a Sailor Scout at the buisiness end of a 150mm tank cannon, here's your chance. :-)So there you have it. Like I said before, if you want detail and realism, go play Gurps: Mecha. If you want it quick, simple and fun, check this one out.
