Has anyone tried these systems? I've seen them around but haven't really been sure if it's fun to run. Seems like a property that wouldn't lend itself super easily to roleplaying but maybe I'm too limited in my ideas

MODERATORS
I've never tried it, but the game has been around since 2009, which seems like a pretty good shelf life for a licensed game.
It's also picked up a couple of awards - the Grog d'Or for Best Roleplaying Game 2010 and the UK Game Expo Best Roleplaying Game 2010.
All in all, it sounds promising, though I swore years ago not to buy RPGs I would likely never actually play.
