A very Good Cinematic Experience of a game....

User Rating: 8.5 | Heavy Rain PS3
I called this game a "Cinematic Experience" because that's what it is...Its more an experience than it is a game... There are short bursts of what you would call "game play" but for 95% of this story, you are simply guiding the protagonists through a story...

The story is based around the hunt for a kidnapped child who is being held by the Origami Killer, a serial killer who kidnaps kids and drowns them in rainwater.

you dont just control one person either. You take control of four different people who interact with the storyline but not always each other. Each person brings their own individuality to the story but that doesnt mean that they cant be killed, cos they can.

The great thing about this game is that the story is genuinly affected by your choices and actions. The story will go one way or the other depending on whether or not you take the choice to kill or spare someone. On top of that, if you get one of the main characters killed, the story just rolls on without them in a different direction to the route it was taking with them there.

All in all, a very well thought out "experience" that really keeps you interested until the end, whether that be a happy ending or a sad ending....

Well worth the money...
