I'll agree: a good, thorough, and balance review. The game, by the way, is definitely worth picking up. I will agree that the free-form nature of the special powers does leave it open for a high amount of abuse. After reading the book, it seems to me that once the game has begun, the GM is there merely as a guide, not a rule enforcer. A strict and firm GM is needed, however, during character creation.

It's interesting to see just how many rules in the game don't sit well with many gamers at first, then you realize that the game is reflective of the cartoons it's based on. When was the last time He-Man worried about how much gear he was carrying?

I was to especially thank the creators for the "Further Viewing" section. It brought back a flood of memories. I remember watching about 90% of the shows mentioned at least once, even such under-viewed fare as Blackstar (I still have a Blackstar action figure somewhere).

Once I get enough people to play a "series", I'm sure it will be huge fun. Thanks for the review and thanks for the game!
