Like Smallville and other games from MWP, this uses a variant of the Cortex rule system. The system in Leverage is a streamline version designed to focus on what Leverage the TV show does best, crime and con games. So there is not the complexity of character building as you see in Smallville.
What is most interesting about this is that it really opens up the system to different types of play. You are no longer "killing things and taking their stuff", you are pulling a con...and taking their stuff.
What appealed to me right away is that with some tweaks you could run any type of Law and Order or CSI style game right away. Given the proliferation of these types of shows that would have some appeal.
So far I like the rules quite a bit even though I know nothing of the show it is based on. I do miss the classic skills listing though.
