The Whitewolf games and the whole genre seem so detailed it is an intimidating game to get started with, but I hope my review provides the viewpoint of someone fairly new to the line.

Oddly enough the World of Darkness book seems to deliberately avoid mentioning Vampires, Werewolves and Mages. There are no descriptions of how they fit in, or any statistics for them as NPC's. Instead the concentration is on other supernatural horrors with a fairly detailed look at ghosts and spirits. A few of the example stories seem to hint at the involvement of vampires and werewolves but it seems these creatures are now an optional part of the game. Kudos to Whitewolf for doing this as it means you don't have to buy the whole set of books to have a complete game, you can run campaigns with just the World of Darkness rulebook.
