I think if anyone is curious to see how well the mechanics conform to a specific setting only need to pick up one of many settings for SWEX. With the cost of many RPGs these days, you can pick up at least one of many settings along with the core book for the equivalent price.

As a generic system it does it's job adequately in regards to translating a specific published setting but because it simplifies everything, it doesn't translate some of the heavy mechanics or mechanics specific to that setting well enough IMO. A good example of what I'm talking about is Deadlands. If you have ever played Deadlands classic and tried Deadlands Reloaded, you will know what I mean. Also because of it's pulpy feel and wound system, it can change the feel of a published setting.

In regards to being able to emulate many genres, I feel it is weak on superhero and martial arts right out of the box. Necessary Evil proved me wrong in regards to SWEX being able to do comic book feel of superheroism but I have yet to see the system do martial arts justice.

Othere than that, I have enjoyed the settings I have bought for the system; my favorite being the Rippers setting.
