Recently I stumbled into a sort of ... "visual novel / CYOA made with FMV" (full motion video):
http://store.steampowered.com/app/584980/Late_Shift/
I played it and the story was nice, even if the impossibility to skip already seen dialogues is a pain so I never played it again (seriously even telltale games have this problem).
Was wondering what people think. It's not art, but it's not manga so not sure. Personally I like it (of course I'm not planning to make one since would be impossible for me).

Re: games using FMV?
Back when I was active in the freeware community, I played some FMV games, and what I remember most clearly was the lack of professional actors. This is generally what's kept me from playing FMV games, though I had a good time with Her Story a couple of years ago, and I'm eyeing #WarGames (both on Steam).

Yes I suppose when there's animation/acting involved, if something it's done on amateur level it would stand out very clearly.
With static 2d hand-drawn art is easier
Though I really miss the possibility to do some animated stuff, but sadly either FMV or 3d characters it's outside my skills/budget

Re: games using FMV?
The only FMV games i've played were old Ted Murphy or wing commander style games.
It's neat to see the style coming back at least

Re: games using FMV?
When it comes to interactive movies, I'm not against them, just I never got around to playing them.
However, I do like FMV sequences sprinkled into games. At the time, FMVs allowed developers to create scenes that wouldn't be possible with in-game graphics. I'm not a fan of the game's mechanics, but did like Final Fantasy 8's presentation, especially the use of FMVs.
