They have to kind of totally re-work some issues about how death works, and as such the ghost template from the MM is quite different from the ghost of Ghostwalk.  3) The adventures don't seem especially inspired, at least some of them.  There seem to be adventures that aren't especially "ghostly" and don't really feature special situations/rules from this book much.  4) Lots of repeated material, particularly from the splatbooks and FR stuff.  Feats, spells and magic items were the main repeats.  Some people don't find that a problem or find that a benefit.  5) Some of the magic items don't seem especially inspired.  6) There's a chapter that describes the "countries" in the viscinity but (unless I missed it) there's no map.  There are some maps of certain regions, and there is a map of the city of Manifest. 7) For some reason the subject matter overall just didn't seem very appealing to me personally.  The mechanics of death and ectoplasm and stuff like that just didn't do it for me.  It was all a little too scientific, not mystical enough.  I wouldn't let any of these points disuade anyone from taking a look at the product, but for me it would be a "maybe" purchase rather than a "must have."</blockquote>
