Not to make your only good point a negative buuuut the game isn't that original either lol if you've watched any crime thriller, especially the ones that came out not long after Slience of the Lambs the story is almost like one of those cookie cutter movie stories.  If you're talking about game play wise, QTEs are being worn out, and the idea of branching characters changing the storyline is also kinda old though very few do it right even given how old it is.

Lol. Maybe there's a better word than original, but as an overall package it's not your ordinary game. 

Though I can't say I've played many point and click adventures as you called it.

Ah that's quite sad actually, point and click adventures are very entertaining and fun, I'm so glad with the DS and Wii that they had somewhat of a revival of sorts, if you want one that will knock your socks off, has multiple endings, has a very good story without the plotholes (yes lots of people die), and has some really good brain teasers, try 999 on the DS.  

Heavy Rain is a very cinematic version of a point and click, it's in the style of the Tim Schafer (cause for the life of me I can't remember the old ones in the same style I used to play but Schafers work is a good reference) point and clicks where the character is on the screen and you search around the area for the items of interest, this is what you do with Heavy Rain the only difference is you're moving the character and not an arrow to tell your character to go... essentially your character is your pointer in HR.  

Anyway the genre is full of amazing tales (they were the origin of the modern cinematic games) and as long as you like puzzle games the genre is most certainly for you.
