"The third in Niven & Barnes' Dream Park series, this book was hindered by a cast almost too large to keep track of, and a dramatic change in the technology of the setting that was quite jarring to me, and in my opinion, a step backwards. The first two books featured holographic "Kruegeresque" VR technology, and this one backsteps into "Lanieresque" VR that uses visors with HUDs. If they'd started with the HUDs, that would have been ok, but going there after having holograms was definitely a bummer. The story itself is still good, And we finally get to see Griff kick some ass in the real world, so that's cool. The ending seems a bit too tidy, though.
All in all, this was the "Return of the Jedi" of the DP universe, while Barsoom Project was the "Empire Strikes Back", and the original novel was the "Star Wars". I trust anyone interested in this sort of fiction knows what I'm talking about."
"This is the third book in the Dream Park series. I accidently read it first, but it doesn't really matter too much, just makes it a little confusing if you read the other books later going "wait, didn't he? Wasn't she? Weren't they?" at least that's the way it was with me. Like all Dream Park novels this is about a big nationally telecast Live Action Role Play. Yes, it's about a bunch of people walking around doing LARP, but you know what? It sounds like the most fun ever. Mostly because it has something real LARP doesn't: A budget of millions of dollars. I have nothing against LARP, some of my best friends are LARPers and while I don't LARP myself, if there actually was a theme park where I could go and interact with holograms and swing hologram swords and things, I'd be there in a minute. The story involves teams of Players going to a huge empty building in the desert that has been converted for The Game. It's kind of like The World Series of Dream Park competitions. It's called The California VooDoo Game because that's the major story of the game. There's VooDoo, there's action and in general just a good time. Also there is the other story which is going on at the same time which is split between the gamers and the people running the game and has to do with a security leak in the Game. One of the players is trying to do Something illegal, what is it, who is doing it and what happens next are what really help drive the story along. So, in short, this book is good, I really liked it and really want a theme park that has holograms in it. Really, can't stress enough how many times I've actually dreamed of Dream Park."
