I had the opportunity to go through several pre-publication playtests run by Derek Pearcy at a convention. Two angelic, two demonic. The demonic sessions were interesting tactical challenges, as we needed to avoid attracting too much attention from "Upstairs". The angelic sessions became bloodbaths, because the players decided that anything done to fight Evil was, by definition, Good. To more-or-less quote Phil Foglio's Stanley and His Monster:
"Angels never make mistakes."
"Really?"
"Sure- Just ask one."

Crank angelic arrogance up to 11, and the devils' "we just want you to be free" may start to look more attractive. Crank it up to 20, and it may even be sincere.
