And all I got to know about the "superb" system is that it describes characters through "aspects" and focus actions on "scenes". Far, very far, from being informative.
This is not a review, it is just a personal statement about your feelings on the game. Unfortunately.

I have to agree...
Yes, what Iago (the Publisher) has posted is interesting enough (moreso than the review, itself, actually!), but I'd kind of like to see something more complete, and from an independent source...
As to 'aspects', I've seen this before, and I've never liked the concept.
I prefer something a lot more discrete, and well-defined.
Too often, the 'rules lite' approach seems less 'innovative', and more 'lazy, sloppy, and not even half-finished'! {Not talking about this one specifically, as we know nothing at all about it, from the review...}
Does this game really allow you to do all the crazy stuff that can happen in the Pulps? Or, is it more a "Well, you can do it, if the GM lets you get away with it, and if the GM doesn't know how to judge these situations before he reads the rules, then he shouldn't be running this kind of game!" kind of thing?
