PS3 Heavy Rain Rated Highly
How Far Will You Go To Save Someone You Love? Experience a gripping psychological thriller filled with innumerable twists and turns, where choices and actions can result in dramatic consequences. Spanning four days of mystery and suspense, the hunt is on for a murderer known only as the Origami Killer – named after his macabre calling card of leaving behind folded paper shapes at crime scenes. Four characters, each following their own leads and with their own motives, must take part in a desperate attempt to prevent the killer from claiming a new victim.
Here are some early reviews of the game. More later.
GamePro (100/100): An emotionally engaging thrill-ride from start to finish, Quantic Dream’s Heavy Rain is a superbly crafted interactive experience, told expertly through it’s stunning visuals and believable characters.
Boomtown (100/100): An emotionally engaging thrill-ride from start to finish, Quantic Dream’s Heavy Rain is a superbly crafted interactive experience, told expertly through it’s stunning visuals and believable characters.
1Up (91/100): One of the most emotional experiences I’ve ever had playing a videogame.
Eurogamer (90/100): It may also be the only game you play this year where pulling the trigger makes you really feel something, and I can think of no greater compliment.
IGN (90/100): A hell of an experience. Its controversial control scheme actually works really well in allowing the fantastic story to dictate how events play out, and many of the game’s scenes will keep you on the edge of your seat. It starts slow and the presentation isn’t perfect, but the character development, dialog and story twists will hook you like few games can.
GameSpy (90/100): If you can buy into the idea that the ending you get is your ending, and that your characters are really your characters, then you just might find yourself feeling moved by a videogame.
Buy Heavy Rain from PlayAsia for $60.

I enjoyed the first 90% of this game. Unfortunately, I’m a new gammer and didn’t protect my favourite characters too well in the fight scenes. I think that my poor performance led to the death of some of the characters that should have lived. And I think this in turn led to an ending for the game that was rather odd and unfulfilling. I’m going to have to practice and get better at defending my characters. I think that will probably lead to an ending that I’ll like better than the one I got the first time around. Since I’m new to gamming I don’t understand the “Bonus” and “Trophy” awards either. I’ve got a lot more to learn about this game. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed playing it.
