I was unsure of this before playing the demo, so if you haven't yet get on psn and download it now. The game won't be for everyone but those that relish great story and character over fast shooting thrills will love Heavy Rain. It is amazing how it draws you in by getting you to do such seemingly simple things, the game is all about the details. With this, uncharted 2 and God of War 3 the ps3 is finally becoming a worthy system.

Heavy Rain. The game I've been going on and on about to anyone and eveyone who'll listen, the game I've mentioned several times on this blog, the game I've heaped mountains of unreasonable expectations on, is here...
...and it blew my mind.
Its gameplay is unique, its approach to story is unique in that its all about the story rather than the high score or the next headshot. Its handling of emotion is unparralled in gaming. It looks gorgeous too.
The only reason I'm not still playing it and unlocking another of its multiple endings is that the PSN is down and a trophy error is preventing me from loading it up.
I've mentioned before why this game is so important, not just to me but to the entire gaming industry. In summary, its pointing the way, maybe not in terms of design but in terms of tone. This is what this medium can do at the highest level, unmatched interaction storytelling based on a massive range of emotions.
What I love about Heavy Rain is the way consquence is engineered. There are no game overs or retrys. You carry on regardless of wether a character dies, screws up, you make a specific moral decision on in their shoes, or they succeed. This means when you arrive at the ending the context and weight behind every decision is so much more profound because it belongs to you. Your choices, your mistakes. And, in the end, your feelings.
Thats why Heavy Rain is both hard to concisely explain and experience with constraints. You need to sit down and experience it in it's entirety. And probably more than once too.
I mean, how many games can boast of scenes in which the player (spoilers): changes a nappy, prevents a suicide, has a shower, kills an innocent man and has to live with it, cuts of his finger, has sex, sits bored, plays with his kids, loses his son in a shopping center, performs first aid, cooks an omelete, saves a life, takes drugs, kicks the habit, frees a innocent man, plays piano, makes an architectural drawing, plays basketball, falls in love, dies permanently. And you feel every minute of it, its powerful stuff.

allright, this s my first review so:
this game is amazing i finished it all in once and i m gonna play it again, grafic is amazing and the story is so well detailed, the characters s profiles are also well arranged and the wish to understand better the mistery behind the origami killer will keep you on the screen hours and hours; only bad thing i ve to say about this release from amazon is that if you re not willing to play the game in english i advise you that it s not multilanguage at least the one they sent to me!!
besides that GO FOR IT!!;)
Fun? More like trauma - what a kick this has March 9, 2010

OK I admit it - I became so sucked into this game I blubbed a bit when things started turning tragic after the chase through the mall - in itself a superb piece of surprisingly realistic game action (though why could I not RUN!?). I'm sorry - but tragedy and children are tear-jerkers for me. And as a long-term game player this is the first time a game has caught me out emotionally. No other game has *ever* managed it. Graphics are superb, the music and atmosphere bleak (and wet), the story gripping. My only frustrations are slightly awkward camera handling but I'm getting used to it, and I find the controls difficult to master while trying to appreciate what's on the screen in the rapid response parts. In all, as others say: superb and raises the bar for future developers.
