I was tempted to rate this one three stars since it's current overal rating seems a little too high... then I realized I was being petty over some personal gripes and taste issues.

This is an interesting little book. It's a great**** resource if you haven't done much in the way of RPGing and want to set up a schlocky B-movie zombie scenario. For anything else though it's a bit more middle of the road.

First, be aware this contains a slightly paired down and modified d20 modern system with all the rules you'd need to play. It's got some interesting ideas and is pretty thematic for the zombie B-move side of things but be aware this is still a pretty fair proportion of the page count. I still think this is a fairly priced book, there's enough here besides the reprinted side of the rules to be worthwhile but don't just look at page count vs. price and think 'whoa, that's a good deal'.

Then we get to everything else which causes my love/hate feelings about the book. See, if you're doing a B-movie scenario here this book is great, it's thematic, apropriate, pretty consistant in it's way. If you're not going the B-movie route, you want a more 'serious' zombie apocalypse, a more balanced game, or zombies as part of something else in your game and this book will make you want to bang your head against a wall. Classes tend to be over the top, unbalanced, and (IMO) adverse to multi classing for the most part. Now if you want your guys to be over the top powerhouses this is great, it could be really interesting! There's no way in hell I'd allow these classes anywhere near most d20 modern games. Feats for the most part (excepting the standard ones) follow the same pattern. (Unless you want your players to have total magic immunity in two feats, yeah, that's what I thought). The artwork is... let's call it appropriate for evoking B-movie shlock and exploitation and leave it at that, it could be a plus for you, it could be a minus.

On the other hand, toward the end there's a nice vareity of zombies to throw at your players and some good advice about GMing for the zombie scenarios that I'll give a good thumbs up for. And the zombie feats and infection mechanics are more good ideas and mechanics that can easily be adapted to other settings of which I heartily approve.

All in all: 3 stars if you're looking for a general horror or zombie related sourcebook, 5 stars if you're looking for a b-movie schock zombie campaign book.
