Advantages: Prostitute possession, nuff said.

Disadvantages: A bit religious for my taste.

What a great concept for a game! Basically you get to play the part of a little cherub, but instead of setting off on a mission to bring true luurve to the peoples of the world, you're supposed to save the planet from evil-doers who are intent on imprisoning God himself.

In order to do this God has allowed you to jump into any person that might cross your path (and there are shed loads, including whores and mutants as well as your average Joes)enabling you to possess not only their corporeal entities but their abilities as well. Hence if you take control of a radiation worker you'll gain access to restricted areas and be able to use equipment specific to nuclear power.

Another valuable aspect of the whole possession thang is that when you're inside another being you don't take damage from guns etc, so effectively you can use them as armour. This is good for you because as it happens, when you're on your own you really don't have that much health to play around with.

The game is beautifully done, with great graphics (although I needed to toggle the visual mode quite often) and sound effects and the playability is definitely up to scratch. All in all this is a good little game.
