Heavy Rain

What a very good movie and have some strong moments. The investigation of the murder was very interesting and we want to know the killer until the end. It was a very good experience with some very interesting characters. The revelation at the end let us speechless and make the whole game make us seen antoher perspective that we didnt think about. Very clever video game and very good narrative that keep us engage. And the choices can have strong consequences. And the different ending can make us wanted to see all the end possible. And they have a lot !. An unforgettable video game for sure.

Heavy Rain has to be my favorite game of all time, awesome story telling, the atmosphere of the game is to die for. The storyline is absolutely immersive. Towards the mid-end of the game I felt like I was constantly on the edge of my chair. 1000/10.

Pros:

• Great story & characters
• Challenging choices
• Pretty good graphics
• Great plot twists
• Great music

Cons:

• Slow start to story
• Some story plot-holes
• Few bugs and glitches

Verdict: Another Quantic Dream game that conducts a great story with sympathetic protagonist that keeps you glued to the game. Thou with a slow start may push people away, the game delivers soon after.

8.5/10

Or something like that. The game at hand here is quite unique, although the one responsible for the game is known to make games as intriguing as the one right here. The inciting incident here is quite ... harrowing to say the least! It really gives you the chills. And it drives the story and the characters forward ... it also has ... well I'd advice not to read too much about the story, because the way it evolves and the twists and turns ... you have to experience them! Truly great game to say the least.

In Fahrenheit you only played one character and this is the first game you jump back and forth, changing the perspective you have and bringing quite the unique flavor into the game too. If you like story driven games, you will love this. Most of the things are QTE events and decisions you have to make .. which is not something everyone loves ... but those who do ... they'll more than cherish this.

Let's figure this: you have been dreaming of become a a movie star for a long time, and then someone offers you to star in his adventure movie, and you accept it. This is the case of Heavy Rain.

Heavy Rain is a video game - and a movie at the same time, with brilliant combinations of drama, action, adventure, and thriller elements. It has gorgeous graphics with amazing attention to the smallest details, terrific atmosphere, great audio, and one of the most sophisticated storyline ever released as a video game, no one even comes close to it. And get this: no superhero, no alien, no monster, no future setting, no demons, no magic spells - it is about several (well, OK, four) ordinary people deal with extraordinary situations, set in our time.

Well, honestly, Heavy Rain may not be the game for everyone. If you're more into shooting and slashing spree from the start (Ninja Gaiden, everyone?), this game might bore you as hell because it does have its slow-paced moments, especially at the beginning. But now I'm talking movie here, and since I said that this game qualifies as a movie too, let me remind that even fast-paced action movies may be slow at times, so it might be a good excuse to give this game a go.

The actions are simply based on moving and quick time events. No worries of memorizing combos and complicated button assignments here...you will spend more time watching than actually pressing the buttons to play...well, that's one more reason why I call this game a movie.

If you plan to grab a copy, pick the Heavy Rain Move Edition. It is basically the same game with tons of extras: PS Move support (as the title says), nice theme for your PS3, bonus tracks, some behind the scene and promotional footage, and the biggest one - in my opinion that is -, Taxidermist side-story (originally released as DLC) to feed your adventure fetish a bit more after you finish the game - that's ALL in one box.

So adventure PS3 gamers (if you don't have a PS3 then it is not your lucky day) rejoice, for you're on one - no - two really nice treats this time: it is a great game as well as a marvelous movie. What are you waiting for? Go to the nearest store, pick a copy,provide a nice couch along with some snacks, spare some times, and get ready to star in your own movie!
