Summary: World of Light...it is about time...
Comment: It is about time. White Wolf finally produced a system for all of those of us who prefer there to be some chance that the heroic characters can actually make a difference. And they managed to do so without being fluffy! There are still vast challenges and dramatic evils. But now there is hope!
Other reviewers have questioned whether Exalted will even appeal to hard-core WoD players. My answer is: yes! Sure, there is hope in Exalted, unlike the doom-n-gloom of the typical WW game. But a storyteller who just can't let go of his angst can always play up the dread empire of the Dragon-Blooded, and still gain the benefit of a fresh new genre.
Paul G. says it took flak for being the ancient history of the WoD; myself, I think that is yet another strength of Exalted. If you've ever enjoyed pondering the mystic connections between the genres of the WoD (as I have), you'll find no end to pondering the links and implications of Exalted. My favorite is this: Where are the Solars in the WoD?
[The answer I'd like to see for 'where are the Solars': Aberrant was a figment of your imagination...what will really happen in the future of the WoD is that at the Apocalypse/Gehenna/LongWinter/etc, the Solars will return again and bring some light back to the WoD, setting the struggle into a still-hard-but-not-hopeless situation. Maybe WW can learn from their Exalted and find a way for some of the light to leak into the WoD?]
Of course, aside from all that, Exalted stands well even if you haven't played a WoD game before.

Summary: Potential
Comment: The game of Exalted is a high fantasy type role-playing admittedly heavily influnced by Anime and computer games. If you like characters you can perform awesome stunts like running across the heads of a crowd, or destroying a dozen opponents with a single swipe of your sword this is the game for you. In Exalted you play characters called the Solar Exalted Champions of the Undying Sun. You are the reincarnated heroes who once ruled the world but were treachorously slain by the other types of Exalted. Now you have returned, the world is at a crossroads, it can head either for a new Golden Age or down the dark road to White-Wolf's World of darkness games. The System is White-Wolfs time tested Stoytellers system with tweaks for Exalted, in particular the charms system is a bit diffrent but I found it quite interesting and smart. But some of the newer rules were a little confusing and I had to read through them a few times to fully get them. Otherwise I thought the game and the setting had a lot of potential.

Summary: Interesting Concept
Comment: The world of Exalted is utterly unique, drawing from sources as diverse as anime and The Odyssey. White Wolf is to be commended for coming up with something so original.
But I finish the book not really knowing what to do with it. The setting is explored in adequate detail, but we're not told enough about who exactly the Solar Exalted are or -- more importantly -- what they *do*. I found it very hard to garner ideas for chronicles from just the hardcover.
