I seriously can not say enough good things about this book or the game itself.
This PDF is full color which is shocking if all you've seen is the physical, black and white book.
(Note: There is nothing wrong with the B&W book. It was the most economical way to get the book to print and the only reason that I ever stumbled on this great game. Still, it's nice to have a full color format as well, which is where the cheaper PDF's come in.)
As for the game...man, there's almost too much to even begin to tell you about.
I mean, do I talk about all the cool upgrades that the larger than life, player character Agents get that make them so awesome?
Do I talk about how you can run almost any sci-fi, post apocalyptic or near future scenario that you can think of?
Should I go on about the great, simple rules system...yet a system which offers a lot of options and never feels restrictive?
How about the telepathics (psionics) system that blends in perfectly with regular skills and STATS and doesn't feel at all like an after thought add-on?
Or maybe the loads of cool equipment and cybernetics?
Or the fact that there's a whole page dedicated to severing body parts?
I could really go on and on.
The setting and world info that is presented is good to go as is without tying a GM's hands and leaving PLENTY of options and directions to take your game. What's more, if there's something in the established setting that just doesn't do it for you...it is SOOOO easy to exclude or change the issue without having to do tons of homebrew rules to fill in the gaps.
I stumbled across this game last June during Free RPG Day and it quickly became one of my favorites overnight.
Definitely give it a shot!
