RE: Right on the cover, wrong on verdict.

Converted from Phorums BB System
As a reviewer, I have to be considering all the qualities of a book. Nobody is going to be happy paying money for a game that they then have to ignore to run it.
The system is outdated, the books do not contain sufficient setting detail to ensure a consistency of enjoyment among a broad base of gamers, the writing is inconsistent and full of badly organised details.
I held in consideration that it was essentially a one-man job and compared it to such games as Mechanical Dream, QAGS, Cat and The Collectors. It failed on all counts. Poor design, poor writing and poor communication of ideas. Sure, the playtest with a skilled GM might produce a good game - but I'm not reviewing your GM, I am reviewing the game books. And I stand by my verdict. Andromeda 2500 is not worth the purchase.
