I's very happy with de game. No bullshit, its a cool game true to the genre. Play anythin' from pimp to dealer, heister etc.. ese, with rules to back it up, not yet another d20 dope. Everythin' is covered, from character creation, to how to set up your own operation, goin' on a crime spree, muggin' peoples, copin' horse, prowling da mean streets of Dog Town in your Gran Torino. That's 295 pages of fun all along. Life's sure a bitch in Dog Town. Chill.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: I loved the theme (crime/gangster) in mid to late 70s NY-ti was about time somebody filled in this niche-and with its own system. The character templates are excellent, the style is brilliant, you don't get bored reading the rules, you actually enjoy doin' it! Character skills, drags, etc.. are excellent too. There's nearly a rule for anything criminal in the game, brilliant.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: The game lacks examples (for instance, in the character creation), sometimes the character creation and even the 'split system' rules get confusing, and more examples to clear out any doubt would have been good (and would avoid reading the same lines several times to understand, or go find an example n pages later).
Some illustrations are very good, but I'm a bit disappointed they are more generic than truly 70s, the artists could have made some more effort to do a 70s feeling in their art.
Although the proposed background is a criminal hitting the streets and trying to make a hundred grand in 90 days, maybe some more options could have been developped for GM who don't want to exploit this idea but use the game differently. On the other hand, this can be corrected with a little effort from the GM and could be done in future supplements.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>
