From a personal perspective, the game's system is just about workable but counter-intuitive, nothing particularly new, doesn't support the setting very well at all and could definately have been explained better. However the setting and source material is dreadful. Not dreadful in an 'argh this scares me' kind of way, but dreadful in a 'ye gods, I never thought evil could feel so dull' way. The game has no real focus beyond 'run around and be evil for no reason, because that's what we do'. That's the main rulebook. 'Satanis Unbound', which this review is actually for, well... the first 30 pages are nothing but rant, and the rest is so over the top as to be utterly unaffecting and near comedic, a problem that plagues the original product too. The amateurish pornographic sketches used for art and blatantly ripped-off photographs don't help either.
