Is Heavy Rain a movie, or a game? Developers Quantic Dream have presented us with quite a quandary.
Ups: |
Fantastic story, and a successful achievement as an interactive movie. Graphics are very impressive in certain scenes. Emotionally engaging. Some of the tenses moments I have experienced in a game. Replay value if you want to see all the different outcomes for things. Character's emotional facial expressions make for some very impressive "acting". A nice set of extras including images and making-of videos.

Downs: |
Some very bad voice acting. Realistic graphics can make some characters look strange. Sound, camera and graphical bugs. The story has a few major plot-holes. The early levels are a bit too slow, which may stop some players from getting into the game.

"A clever twist on gaming."
