Free Taiwan was my first time actually using a pre-written mission for Fourth Edition Shadowrun, because my group wanted a game and it looked like it would work with them pretty well. It did.
It's great, and my players absolutely loved it! The hand-to-hand combat specialist felt a little left out, but in a party where everyone else is packing an automatic or longarm and all you do is whip things that's a pretty frequent complaint.
The mission itself is fairly short to mid-length in a good way-it took about a hour and a half for my group to complete it (partly because they were getting distracted by internet videos on the background-my main gripe with going digital) and setting up took only about fifteen minutes. It did, however, achieve its goals handsomely and the group enjoyed it.
I mean, it's a free mission. It's also of good quality-the typesetting and included art were great, and there wasn't any time where I was scratching my head having run into a dead end, the players went along with it without having to be coerced, and it was memorable.
