Eh, I voted "Mediocre" (I love V&V and enjoy much of the Jeff Dee artwork, so it was hard to grade it lower than that, though I was tempted).
Here's some of my thoughts:
Cover: Cool - I like the look of this!
Markers: Decent; many are too goofy for my tastes, but they're mostly usable.
Encounters: I only know of one of these that we've ever used. One GM had my character - Crocodile - encounter a large group of Komodo Dragons that spilled out of a truck!
Freelancers: I don't have the supplement with me (at work), so among those I find listed online:
Ben Jahmoka, Blastin' Butch, Boosterman, Captain Floop, Cosmic Zoom, Death-Kite, Dr. Wraithman, The Fool, George Ronky, Hoopsnake, Jovia, Justice-Avenger, Kudebuck, Lodestone, Mr. Noman, Phillicia Barton, Prankster, Proditor Cappela, Psi-Demon, R.A.M. 101, Rocket Ma'am, Sgt. Ramble, The Shroud, Sir Lemur, Sirrian Dor, Swarmaster, UIY 2249, Wavemistress, Whippet, and Zairobs
I will say that I've personally used 11 of them, plus I've listed a couple more as members of the Tarot Masters, and faced another one run by another GM.
The only one who I personally think is an oustanding villain is R.A.M. 101.
Too many others are too silly, campy, goofy, and slapstick.
Organizations: Range from the goofy (B.A.D.) to the pretty cool (Tarot Masters); decent map and location, though I'm pretty sure I've never actually used it.
