Advantages: Great sounds and graphics, first truly original game concept in years

Disadvantages: Some tech knowledge needed to install properly, original concept but very unoriginal gameplay

Messiah is a very unusual game in that you control an angel who can possess any character in the game including pimps,prostitues and cops. This is really the only original feature of the game as the bulk of the gameplay is taken up with "really very exciting" platform action and first person shooting. There is some elementary puzzles but this game should have been a lot better. The one original feature , possesion,does make it interesting though.

The graphics and sound are stunning but you will need a very highend machine to run it properly. There is also some serious technical problems with the game; be prepared to download all the latest drivers and a patch from Shiny's website.

Despite all it's flaws, both technical and gamplay-wise, it is a very entertaining albeit short game. Worth checking out alone just to possess "pimp daddy".
