Book Reviews of Dungeons & Dragons Monster Manual: Roleplaying Game Core Rules, 4th Edition
Book Review: 3.5 is better
Summary: 3 Stars
The book was all nice, neat, and all that jazz, but 4th ed itself, it just seems to be lacking, I suggest WAIT TILL 4.5. 4.0 feels more like a public test release; Save your money, just wait a little longer. Wizards of the Coast have already released updates for the 3 core books, and some others. The book has pretty much all the same Monster, some new baddies.
There's no Monster descriptions, everything is way too much combat orientated, read more like a Video Game Monster Manual, just stats. The art work was ok, nothing wowing.

Simplified
Bads
Little to no customization for PCs, no where near 3.5.
Over Simplified everything
Confusing over use of words: Basic Melee Attack Bonus, Basic Ranged Attack Bonus, Basic this, Basic that, Power this, Power that, Basic Melee Ranged Power power. you get the idea.
All the powers are Combat orientated.
Skills are over simplified
Why buy something that is out dated already, check wizards of the coast and look for yourself, they've already releasing Updates for all the Core Books.
