Review:
The Player Handbook details the great majority of the alternity rules, although a few things are missing from the book, the game could be played with only this book. For example some combat rules that were put in the game master guide should have been included with this book instead.

Review:
The Player Handbook is a must have to play Alternity, all the rules you need to play are here. The book has created with a very good order which goes from quick play rules to different parts of the character creation creation process ( all in order ) to gear to finally the optional rules. But sometimes the rules are hard to locate, for example each weapon skill has it's own rank benefits, but some of these benefits are found at another place because more than one skill has them. You have to look at two places to find your rank benefits! Also, some rules are hard to figure out where they are: Now where was the accuracy for weapons? Characters in Actions or Weapons and Armor? ( when in doubt, look in Heroes in Action )
