Fantastic!! The blurb espouses Fast Furious Fun, and it delivers! Able to recreate nearly any genre right out of the book and do so with simplicity and elegance. I've been gaming for over 20 years adn find this my favorite system, allowing me to do nearly anything and do it quickly. My kids all picked it up overnight and they are even running games already, after only a month. The rules are simple and cover most situations, with guidelines as to how to judge the things that rules don't cover. NPCs are simple to use, make them up on the spot. Characters can be made in a few minutes, skills are broad and cover all uses with the caveat to make more if you think you need them. There is a huge, friendly community online that has converted most popular games to Savage Worlds and freely offer help in how to get the most out of it; the designers themselves often answer questions and are active in the forums!!!

At only $10, you can't afford to skip this. There is nothing to lose and so very very much to gain.

Really could have been better laid out, and better thought out. For instance, it costs so much to raise an Attribute, but it costs much less for a Feat that rasies that very same Attribute. Why, then, bother paying the greater cost? Other aspects of the way the skill and feat system work together bother me, but overall the fixes seem simple; I only wonder why I have to fix something I paid for.

However, the system itself is great!! It's a copy of the system Talislanta has used from the mid-eighties (since Morrigan Press is now producing Talislanta, I guess that makes sense). The game allows for nearly infinite variation of stunts, nearly anything can be attempted (within reason, you will probably not kill a dragon with your dagger, but maybe...)

I liked it overall, finding the problems to be only minor and the ease of play the same as I remembered from Talislanta. I have purchased other products for this system, and do not regret any of them. If only I had the time to play everything.
