10 / 10	The Formless One	Totally awesome. Need I say more?
10 / 10	Tommy Brownell	My second favorite RPG ever...and not because I did some minor work on the book. Just a tremendously useful corebook for use within the game's setting or outside of it.
9 / 10	Calculon	Evokes the show, and lets you do almost any modern urban, low-powered fantasy or horror. Also full of ideas for making a play work.
9 / 10	Craig Oxbrow	Does everything it should with a fair dollop of style.
9 / 10	Dropkicker	Hits it out of the park. Provides an excellent cinematic system which well supports playing out your own version of Angel.
9 / 10	Sayter	Love the system, love the mechanics, love the series, and i love cinematic. Pretty much sums it up for me.
9 / 10	Simple Man	Good game to play all sorts of lower end supers. It's given campaign world is not my cup, but some could see it worthwhile
8 / 10	Big Willy	Cleans up the CineUni rules nicely, especially like the addition of the Organizational rules.
8 / 10	DrFaust	Stylish in appearance and tone, Angel is Buffy's more outwardly-looking sibling. It further tweaks Cinematic Unisystem -- which is refined again in Buffy's revised corebook -- and includes rules for designing and adjudicating organizations a la Wolfram & Hart, Angel Investigations and whatever group your PCs get together.
8 / 10	JDCorley	The addition of organization rules and fleshed-out demon-building to the already good Buffy ruleset makes this an extremely good game even or perhaps especially if, like me, you really couldn't have cared less about the show. JDCorley's Law: Bad source material means good gaming. Proven right again.
5 / 10	TrippyHippy	Never really saw the appeal of this game, aside from offering a slightly more generic premise and polished ruleset than the Buffy game (which it was a spin-off from). Didn't really last in the face of World of Darkness products either.
4 / 10	eruditus	It's pretty cool but not my cup of tea. There is a lot of ground already covered here, especially in Eden's other books.
2 / 10	Zachary The First	I don't see it appealing to those who aren't Angel or Buffy fans. Check out one of Eden's other titles first.
1 / 10	BlueSun	Eden Rocks! But this is not a sustainable game world...
0 / 10	Ahrimanius	You can run absolutely anything with this book.
0 / 10	Doc Halloween	I have not read yet.

5 + 5	Cam Banks	Angel Roleplaying Game. Once again, Eden Studios shows that they know how to treat a license well, with gorgeous production values, engaging writing, genre-friendly rules and a wealth of GM resources. [ Read Review ]
5 + 4	Jonathan McCalmont	Angel Roleplaying Game. A fantastic but flawed follow-up to Eden's Buffy RPG. While an excellent buy, a number of problems prevent it from being all things to all people. [ Read Review ]
5 + 5	SteveD	Angel Roleplaying Game. At last, the game for everyone who desperately wanted to smack Connor in the face. [ Read Review ]
4 + 5	Psuedopod	Angel Roleplaying Game. A great rules-lite RPG as well as a faithful adaptation of the television show. [ Read Review ]
5 + 5	Dan Davenport	Angel Roleplaying Game. Angel can do Buffy better than Buffy can do Angel. Okay, that didn't come out quite right. Just read the review. [ Read Review ]
4 + 4	Menchi	Angel Roleplaying Game. Take on the forces of Wolfram and Hart, or some organisation of your GM's own design in a solid and robust game system. Eden at their best. [ Read Review ]
