Thoughts About : Heavy Rain

A great game with simple controls and a lot of choices. while being a short game it has plenty of replay value due to the different endings, decisions, and the inevitible mess ups. Very suspenseful aided with extremely well done music. It took me one day to beat which wasn't to bad because I figured with gameslengths today you just never know but after beating it I immediately started over going "Hmm I should do everything differently."

Overall- Very enjoyable hard to stop playing and worth playing over and over again. I would buy it if any stores around me got the game in :(

The game's only addicting your first play through. Now I'm just milking it for trophies and have seen about 10 different endings/epilogues. Even though you can get multiple endings, they still don't make me want to buy the game. I was heavily addicted when I first sat down to play it, but now the majority of it just seems like a chore going through and making bad decisions.

I took it apart twice over the last week on a rental. It is a fantastic game...but I think saving 52 dollars made more sense knowing I could beat it and burn the fun out of it in 7 days time.

I'm currently on my first playthrough and enjoying it greatly. I plan on trying a few different paths once I finish the first one. I like what is being done with it and am looking forward to more like it but i don't think I will be buying it. The replay really isnt worth it. But I am enjoying the experience.

I just beat it for the first time about half an hour ago. Was one hell of a ride and from what I can tell the game has got some serious replay value although I doubt I'll be able to play it more than 2-3 times through before finding it to be a chore to play through (luckily I've got two friends who want to play it, and one of them isn't great at gaming so I'll let him get the bad ends for me :P). The key to replayability with this kind of game is to leave it alone for awhile after you get bored, then come back once you feel the urge to play it again. It's like a movie in that regard.

My only complaints about the game are that there are some gaping plot holes in the story...like characters talking about one another as if they know each other well when they haven't met one single time during the entire game (to say nothing of certain revelations in the plot where you literally sit there going "wai...WHAT?!"). There's also major plot points that never get answered. It would seem that considering Indigo Prophecy and this game, Quantic Dream is unable to make a plot that can stay coherent the whole through (although to their credit this game's plot never gets mishandled anywhere near as badly as IP's did). Also, while I love the immersiveness of the controls they do have some issues with responsiveness that occasionally crop up. Worse are the movement controls. It's like Quantic Dream played some survival horror games from the PS1 era and said to themselves "yeah, these controls are pretty bad BUT WE CAN MAKE THEM WORSE". Another big issue is that sometimes in the game you do an action that you think will do one thing but winds up doing something completely different. Most of the time this isn't a big deal, but sometimes it winds up killing a character (for example, there was one part in the game where I thought I was going to help a character but actually ended up doing an action that made me leave them to die instead).

Aside from those issues though the game is great. Totally worth buying. Even if you want to just rent it I'd still suggest buying it since adventure games are very rare these days and high sales for Heavy Rain could help revive the genre.

im thinking about buying this game next week... heard nothing but good things about it but i didnt really like indigo prophecy.. MethodManFTW

It was pretty good. It was a shame to see one of the better elements of Indigo Prophecy taken out of this game, that being that your actions in one scene really effect what happens in another scene or what is said (like when you hide evidence). Heavy Rain it never mattered, you can be an ass to your kid all the way through and have him love you, you can take the drug with Norman all the way through and still get him to quit at the end, how you treat other characters through the game makes no difference or if secondary characters live or die. HR also starts off very boring unlike the IP which has you wanted to see more and more as you go (until about the 3/4 mark where a lot of people started to hate the story).

Unless you think you would like the IP with a different kind of story, worse gameplay, better graphics, and better button promts you have no reason to play Heavy Rain then. Gamespot really needs to fix this no more than one quote html error crap.

Amazing experience. Top credit to the guys who made it

My favorite PS3 game. Just absolutely thrilling and intense until the very end. I loved it so much. This was truly an epic gaming experience for me.
