Subject: Heavy Rain - the interactive movie you have been waiting for!
note: if you are an emotionally undeveloped kiddy, dont bother.
first off, the people in this game look, move, act and have normal jobs like real people do, so there is no special ops force hero that runs in place at a wall. ok, so a large part of the game is a series of cinematic scenes (rendered in real time) that are progressed and altered based on your actions (or lack thereof) and decisions. if you dont do anything, the story still progresses. the other half of the game is a third person interactive world that integrates all the cinematic scenes. it's kinda like choose your adventure to the 25th power. there are different outcomes and you play multiple points of views on a central story, so yes, characters can actually die and stay dead. it's a drama and it's really well done. it sucks you in and makes you feel... unless you are an emotionally undeveloped kiddy. oh yeah, i forgot to mention, this game earned it's "Mature" rating because it has swearing, violence, nudity, sex and emotionally stressful events. i dont think "emotionally stressful events" are recognized by any game rating systems but perhaps it will be in the future.
oh, the difficulty setting is dependent on how well you can react by pressing various buttons and making various motions with the right joystick. yeah, it's the only non-FPS game that uses the right joystick without sucking. be honest with this question or you will be in pain. i put it on max difficulty and did ok because i'm awesome like that.
it's the 4th most popular game on gamefly and out of 12561 ratings it got a 8.3 which is awesome because half the people on gamefly are emotionally undeveloped kiddies posting reviews titled "most overrated game ever!" one of the biggest complaints was that the beginning of the game is slow which is true but it helps you emotionally attach to a characters. many people, including myself gave it a 10. it's that good.
if you have a PS3 or XBox 360, buy or rent this game! i have use gamefly but i'm going to buy it. i've gone through a 25+ games on gamefly without wanting to buy any of them but i'm buying this one for sure, it's that good.
