Did you guys see the original tech demo for Heavy Rain? Talk about uncanny valley material. Ugh.

The animations make the entire thing very awkward and down right freaky, imo.  The eyes don't help either. 

Eyes?  I think the eyes look fine.  The freaky part is the entire mouth area, it just doesn't move right when she talks.

 Yeah, the facial animations were the main problem.  The eyes stick out a bit to me at least.
