Heavy Rain - STICKEH EDITION! (89@Metacritic) (Gamespot Review in 8.5)

Spoiler

This game is freaking stunning! Also, I'm ready to say that the graphics blow me the **** away and I prefer them to anything else on consoles right now.

It's really an evolution of what Indigo Prophecy did and god, it is awesome.

While I still think Uncharted 2 is the best game on consoles, visually, because of the polish and the entire package, I definitely see how you could say this.

At the beginning of the game (no spoilers guys, don't worry), in the park, it looks photorealistic at times. Some of the animations are incredibly well-done. If I have any complaints, it's that the animation isn't always at that calibre, and at times I see the same NPC over and over, especially at the cop station. I love it though, the facial models in the load screens are clearly the best I have ever seen. The first Madison scene definitely has it's eye-popping moments, too. ;)

[QUOTE="Chutebox"][QUOTE="zarshack"]hmm only took me 7 mins to DL it...

BioShockOwnz

Agreed. It took me about 5, but updates take like no time on 360.

[QUOTE="Chutebox"] That's still too long for 226MB lol.Hahadouken

Agreed. It took me about 5, but updates take like no time on 360.

See I disagree about the graphics. The facial and character models are definitely some of the best, but the environment textures can be really nasty, and some things look really boxy. I guess its just nitpicky of me I dunno.

I will say though the music is some of the best. I really love the music in the game. Fits the mood perfectly.

I also downloaded the DLC for Mass 1 and Mass 2 that came with my copies, and it was significantly faster than the same size of file on PSN. I was skeptical too, but it's definitely faster. /shrug

HR is just a flop..........end of story.

Glitchspot won't let me spoilertag this. No spoilers really, but it might cause detective work to start happening in your head.

Well that idea certainly didn't get across to me as the scene is presented the same way as any other. I.e. you control the character. I don't see how you can be observing from the girl's perspective when you're actively participating in the scene through the perspective of the guy. Does not compute.

The graphics can be quite fantastic. I absolutely love the way light falls over the characters. Sometimes I just walked back and forth a bit because it looked so great.

[QUOTE="Hahadouken"][QUOTE="h575309"] Is this really necessary? Is 89 not a good metacritic score as well?Panosola

The score is back up to 88 on Metracritic and 91 on GR. Too bad for those two horrible UK reviews on MC bringing down the score or otherwise I'm sure it would be 90 on MC also.

Id like the haters to listen to this theme from HR and tell me its not one of the most epic they've ever heard from a videogame
