How far will you go to save someone you love? In Heavy Rain each player discovers their own answer to this question as they experience a gripping psychological thriller filled with innumerable twists and turns, where choices and actions can and do result in dramatic consequences. Spanning four days of mystery and suspense, the hunt is on for a murderer known only as the Origami Killer - named after his macabre calling card of leaving behind folded paper shapes at crime scenes. Even more chilling is the fiend's well established pattern of killing his victims four days after abducting them. The public is gripped with fear as the police seem powerless to stop the carnage, and another potential victim — Shaun Mars — has gone missing. Now four characters, each following their own leads and with their own motives, must take part in a desperate attempt to prevent the killer from taking yet another life. Discover how far you will go to protect a loved one as you join the search for the Origami Killer.

Heavy Rain is a single player, action/adventure game with a particularly strong emphasis on a player-influenced storyline as a means of facilitating the evolution of action towards one of many possible conclusions. The game features four playable characters: a father, a photographer, a FBI agent with a special skill set and a retired cop turned private detective. Each have different paths, means and motives to ending the reign of terror that the Origami Killer has imposed on their city. As players follow the path laid before their character of choice, they are able to explore, interact with and view their surroundings in a variety of ways using their controller's left and right sticks. At crucial times players are given a series of choices relating to how to proceed in various situations, with the outcome of these choices revealing both benefits and consequences. Benefits can be important to progressing through the game, while possible consequences can in turn pose a very real danger to characters, including death. But unlike other games, and because Heavy Rain features four playable characters that exist independently of each other, yet simultaneously within the same the story arc, this does not end the game. Players are instead able to play as one of the other available characters, with appropriate changes to possible outcomes due to the absence of the deceased character(s). Key Game Features - An evolving action-adventure thriller in which you shape the story with every decision you make.
- Action built around four playable characters that allows you to continue playing as one of the other characters if your initial character is killed.
- Savable chapters that allow you to replay the actions of the past, while maintaining the continuity of the events begun in earlier chapters.
- Mature content reflecting a realistic world setting that explores powerful themes.
- Stunning graphics, animation and technology that support an emotionally driven experience.
- Accessible gameplay via intuitive, contextual controls and interface.

Really cool March 12, 2010

 A movie you have to press button to watch March 11, 2010
Ryan T. Tcohn (Omaha, NE)
As per the title, Heavy Rain is nothing more than one extremely long quick time event. There is no gameplay. This is a movie.
And it's not even a very good movie. The plot is pretty simple: Some guy they call 'The Orgami Killer' has killed 8 people in the last three years. But that's about all they tell you. Snore.
You watch the movie from the perspectives of a divorced former arcitect, a fat private detective, an FBI agent sent to help the police find the killer, and this random chick who befriends and assists the first guy. All the characters are dry, unimaginitive, and stupid. The architect is a failure of a man, who breaks down into tears when other people are nearby and fails to communicate even basic ideas. The fatty isn't so bad, but he's unbelievably lucky: Every person he talks to to try and get information from treats him like a jerk and doesn't tell him anything, but two seconds later he gets the chance to save their life. Fatso here is the center of INCREDIBLY bad story telling. The FBI agent is a drug addict. The police officers he follows around are unforgivably portrayed as abusive, power-hungry morons who torture suspects and witnesses. The girl is just an idiot.
The plot is contrived, makes no bloody sense. I tried to play this game, I really did. I gave it 10 hours of my time. I had no fun playing this sorry excuse for a 'game'.
 Unique Experience March 11, 2010
Jose Molina
If you are a PS3 owner, I strongly suggest you give this game a try.
The developers are definitely exploring new horizons with this game; so much that this game feels a lot like a movie.
Granted, the story is not the best (even though I liked it) and some of the gameplay mechanisms are a little "strange",
but in general this is a good game.
If you're looking for a truly unique experience, something fresh and different, look no more.
WOW! An Amazing Game March 11, 2010
J. Allen (Japan)
The Ps3 exclusives just keep getting better and better. Heavy Rain is simply and amazing game. It's and whole new experience that is a little bit different for everyone because of all the choices have and the decisions you can make in the game. I'm on my second play through and am now just seeing how different the game can be when you make different decisions. It's like being longest movie ever with the best storyline ever and you can control everything that happens. The visuals are incredible, and the action scenes are so intense.
In conclusion...buy Heavy Rain!
