Character creation - as Tom mentioned, I wasn't all that keen on doing the minutiae of filling out the character sheet. I feel like if I hadn't had the help of being married to the DM, I could have gotten away with the half page of hastily scrawled notes we created over dinner, although the power cheat sheet was a huge help.
Actual play - OMG I love the healing surges. I don't love that you don't have the option of getting just a few hit points back (I spent a lot of time one point below full) but it's like internal potions. That regenerate overnight! Woo-hoo!
It's been a while since I played a first level character, but even at first - it seemed like we were competent to deal with threats, especially working as a team. Team work seems easier too.
Setting - dude. This was a perfect world for a one-shot. Tom is teh awesome!
