2nd review in, this time from a lesser-known German website. Apparently, they feel that a significant reliance on QTE's doesn't stop this game from being fun as hell, at least for them. Guess the type of gameplay doesn't matter so much as how it's done.

I think Heavy Rain is a love it/hate it game... (or movie)... I haven't decided yet.... but I know one thing.... my interest lvl atm is "meh". I have Mass Effect 2 now.... and Bioshock 2, Dante's Inferno etc. next week...

And still have Bayonetta to complete... Heavy Rain might be good, I dunno... but does it deserve my time over the other games I mentioned? I don't think so.

I have a feeling that this will be great. But I am only renting it because once you find out the story, the game doesn't have much left.

I respect why you would rent this game but I'm buying it to support the devs. Renting will not put money into their pockets and I want to support devs that think outside the box. I really like adventure games and I think this will be another game with a cult like following.

Are you serious? I wanted to kill myself watching the first ten minute preview.... I'm guessing it gets better.

I don't think this game was made for your age demographic. It looks to capture an older more mature audience. Not saying that you aren't mature but just not the target audience.

If I had money I would buy it but sadly I must be cautious with what games I buy; especially this year that my incomes are lower unless I get a job and I don't plan on getting one right now.

i look for replayability and i know theres different endings and actions u can but eghh..

IMO its looks more like the old point and click andventure games re-invented than a movie-game.

I would agree. Basically, the spiritual successor of the entire genre.

yeah totally. Not every game has an opening 10 minutes like Mass Effect 2, others are much more slower paced.

Instant buy for me. Indigo Prophecy on the Xbox was awesome. Heavy Rain will own. :)

This is one of the most anticipated games of 2010. I'm pretty sure it will develop more than just a small cult following.

one of the smart ones! if i had ps3 it would be a rental for sure. Now if it was out on pc i would wait for the price to drop to $30 or less before i bought seeing as theres no rental service
