Someone once said once you've done 90 percent of the work of making a game you've got 90 percent of the work left. Heavy rain is proof of that addage. For as close as it comes to creating a sort of interactive mystery-thriller experience small annoyances really eat at the game.

The reviews bashed the single player, I wasn't the biggest fan of Infinity Ward's last offering and thought it to be greatly overrated. The single player for this game turned out far better than I was expecting. The story was crazy--but to be honest that's kind of fine by me. I kind…
