Great game once you start to get in the thick of the plot its unreal how well the story progresses. I just hope this game doesn't go the route of Indigo Prophecy that would be a real shame.

Definately a must-play, in my opinion... clunky controls, implausible plot-points and some technical gaffes keep it from realizing its full potential, but nevertheless a great offering from SCEE / quanticdream...

How could it be a must play if you can't really play it?

I was expecting only comments like this, having seen the pre-launch heavy rain threads. I know what kind of game it is, but most don't. It was funny to see people write it off so easily, and i was wondering whether it would all be different when it released. Because yes You're right, You hardly play such a game. Much less than the other games we're accustomed to. Yet it's still a pretty cool unique experience. It isn't released yet where i live.

I just started the game last night, haven't gotten very far yet but I really like it so far. I've been avoiding these kinds of threads like the plague to avoid ANY spoilers.

I would say a 8.3 ... One of the most unique experiences I've ever had while playing a videogame ... Just somethings held it back from really hooking me.

I concur, this game had me at the edge my my seat non stop once i was a few hours in, my heart raced and i felt the tension unlike in anyother game i had ever played. The experiance in this game is just amazing and i wish i could erase my memory so i could replay it and experiance this game again for the first time.

I find that when I sit down to play a chapter I'm glued to it for 4 or 5 more.

I've enjoyed parts of it. But I'll have to borrow it or rent it. I played it for 2 hours, as well as the demo. I am not paying $60 for it. Just not my thing I guess. I will borrow it soon though.

Easily the best game on the PlayStation, very close to best game ever. It's not very long, but what you get is an experience unlike anything you've never seen.

I have a few problems with it that completely take me out of the experience, but it's pretty interesting so far.

Loved the ride the story takes you on, it's very well written. Really got into the game and just wanted to make sure the outcome for every character was a positive one. Great graphics and voice acting. Shame it's a one and done experience for the most part, unless the DLC branches off to secondary chracters or something.

Cool game, very interesting, but the controls suck. I mean so many things could just be done with an action button (x). Having to move the sticks up, down, side to side, or out with a swoop just to cause action is a bit of over kill. Having to hold down the R2 to walk instead of just pushing on the stick...over kill.

Other than the controls the game is very good so far. It's way better than I expected, and thank goodness it was not the quick time event fiasco that everyone expected.

it's very fun, and the story keeps you glued to the screen, though it might be a little slow-paced, but that's the nature of the game My biggest problem with it is the text makes it hard to read what's on screen, even when the screen isn't shaking due to the story, I do have an SD tv and that might be a problem. The second level, if I play through again, when it's the snack time for the kid, I should try to take the beer out of the fridge and give it to him.

The story is only slow for the first 2 hours or so, after that its just balls-to-the-wall excitement.

I love the game so far. Great change of pace from others and amazing story. I've been avoiding all posts on the game and didn't read much into this one so I hope others like it because I do.

It's amazing. I'm playing through it for the first time and only found out who the Origami Killer was about 10 minutes ago. The story is fantastic and the way things start to come together in the last third of the game is really, really awesome. There was one choice in particular that I really didn't want to have to make, so I had to pause the game for a few minutes because I genuinely didn't want to make a decision, which is something I've never experienced in a game before. The game grabbed me from the start and didn't let go.
