In some ways these Quickstart rules do not do the full rules credit. The pre-generated characters you are provided with have notably fewer Special Skills and one of the greatest strengths of 2nd edition Advanced Fighting Fantasy is that you can very quickly create heroes as capable as those in films and books and not have the problem of not being able to have enough skills, like in many RPGs.
On the other hand, if the pre-generated characters had actually been created using the actual 2nd edition Advanced Fighting Fantasy rules, which they definitely have not been, it would have been very easy to work out the character creation.
In one of the other reviews of these Quickstart rules the system has been criticised for the combat system not featuring any options other than just making the same dice rolls. Fortunately the full rules do include various combat options, which are absent here.
