A great game, but could have been a classic... July 26, 2010
Despite its flaws, I have to give Quantic Dream major kudos for Heavy Rain. I'm very pleased with its success, because it encourages developers to do something besides put us on a map and tell us to shoot everything in sight (not that I don' enjoy a good shooter). But...it definitely has its share of issues, which is why I can't quite give it 5 stars (if I could, I would give 4.5). It graphically does some of the best work ever seen on consoles, especially with detail in the faces of the characters and demonstrating emotion. At the same time, however, some characters and environments lack the same detail, which for me was jarring at times for a game that at its best is very immersive. I have no problem with a European developer creating a game based in Philadelphia, but just realize it does take away from the realism to hear some of the characters' accents slipping through. And honestly, is the pronunciation of "origami" really that difficult? The story itself is actually pretty good, but it does unravel a bit here and there. My only other issue is, for a game that offers so much in terms of how some story elements can change based on the player's actions, the individual "levels" (or vignettes or whatever) are for the most part very linear and don't offer much in the way of open exploration by the player, and I think the game overall could have been much improved with a little more of this. Even with these flaws, I greatly enjoyed Heavy Rain. I often get immersed in a skillfully realized game world, but I think in seeing what the character goes through I have at best what I would call a sympathetic response. When that character has an emotional moment I might feel sympathy but am not genuinely affected myself. Heavy Rain is the first game to evoke a truly empathetic response from me, and that says a lot for its merits. Some may call the gameplay boring, tedious, repetitive, etc., but I think it is an innovative, clever, and for me an enjoyable style. It's possible this game is the ultimate "love it or hate it" kind of experience, but I am squarely in the latter camp and am interested in seeing what David Cage comes up with next!
 Almost my favorite game ever July 23, 2010
Here's my disclaimer. I loved Indigo Prophecy when it came out years ago and I was really excited for Heavy Rain. I thought the demo was great and I was excited to just sit down over a few days and play this game nonstop. From the moment the brilliant (and yes, slow...but totally necessarily so) beginning booted up with the orchestral music I was hooked. I loved playing as (and moderately torturing) Ethan, Norman was by far the most fun to play, Madison was eh ok but interesting and Scott Shelby was great to play as in a more traditional detective simulation.
Here's the thing. Right up until the reveal of who the Origami Killer is (uh that's not a spoiler, right?) this game was by far the best game and best gaming experience I had ever had. It definitely exceeded expectations and I was already looking forward to replaying it and trying to get the different endings.
Then David Cage reached out of the screen, slapped me in the face and insulted my intelligence. The reveal of the killer's identity, for me, totally ruined the previous hours spent playing this game and made me so upset that I immediately sold the game after the credits rolled. I don't usually have this kind of disgusted reaction, but I felt the "twist" ending nullified the rest of the game with its nonsense. The reveal made no sense whatsoever and really went quite far to insult the gamer's intelligence by completely altering a previously playable scene...it made no sense at all! I feel like this was due to lazy writing or a rushed concept...I had heard that there were to be multiple killer identities based on how you played...that concept got canned and most likely they shoehorned this one in hoping it would work.
I loved this game until it made me hate it by giving me the dumbest, laziest and nonsensical Origami Killer reveal possible. It made me hate the game so much that it ruined all the previous awesomeness and I was forced to sell it immediately and I never want to play it again... which is a shame because up until that point it was the best game I had ever played.
Beware lazy writing and plot. Oh and FYI French people - it's called a deserted lot...not a wasteland (not even in UK English).
Heavy Rain July 20, 2010
Excellent game. very different. I try not to play it too much cause it is a great game for if you were stuck home sick all day, or snowed in or somethin like that. Very good game though.
Awesome game July 20, 2010
One of the best games for PS3 I ever played. Innovation. I really like this game and also the seller send it like new but looks new. It is in perfect conditions.
This game is a must have. you will involve in a movie but finally is a game.
The most artistic game ever created. July 19, 2010

You can compare this game with other creations like movies, paintings or novels. David Cage the writer and director of the game had really alternative ideas about how the videogames for the matures should be, and his masterpiece "Heavy Rain" is the result of his vision. It is absolutely stunning and immersing with high class aesthetics and a deep dark story. Really you should play it because it is not a game! It is an experience!
