Angel Devoid: Face of the Enemy

Angel Devoid is certainly a huge improvement over past hybrid, live-video based games. The hybrid format does cause the interface to suffer and takes time to get used to. The manual is quite confusing and "hides" important playing information within a story that most won't read unless they need playing instructions. The storyline is fresh and the acting is good, but the scenery is almost a carbon copy of the movie "Blade Runner" and the CD-ROM game "Burn:Cycle." Although the game offers multiple endings, replay value for a game like this is still limited. However, the high quality full-screen video and artwork, coupled with a nice soundtrack and unique interactivity, make AD a believable and impressive adventure.
