It's been nearly three years since I played the game, but the disappointment of the Heavy Rain experience was so extreme at the time it's hard to forget all the biggest details. It should be made clea… Read more

This review contains someof plot **SPOILERS**. You've been warned. Leading up to this Playstation exclusive game's release, the internet was ablaze with anticipation. Writer/producer David Cage promis… Read more
As one of the most hyped and well-received cinematic games of 2010, it's easy to expect nothing short of a Stanley-Kubrick-quality tour de force from Heavy Rain. It's admittedly unfair to expect Quant… Read more
In an industry bursting at the seams from obscure genres (take a bow, Rogue-Likes) it can be slightly depressing when a game feels it’s necessary to create another of its own. However, often these ris… Read more
Heavy Rain is the most recent video game from French developer Quantic Dream, and continues development along the same lines as their previous title, cult favorite Indigo Prophecy, making gameplay tak… Read more
We’ve all heeded the meteorologists’ reports and stocked up on bread and water, and it’s finally here; <em>Heavy Rain</em> has reached PS3 owners. With its promise of a new gaming experien… Read more
Humans have been telling stories since we crawled out of that primordial soup and began walking upright, chasing tusked mammals with clubs. The only difference now is that a story can be told through… Read more
A several months after its release, I finally got down to playing through Heavy Rain , the mystery thriller developed by Quantic Dream. I remember playing the other game they developed, Indigo Prophec… Read more

Certain game designers like Hideo Kojima, seem a bit out of place in their medium. Sure the guy makes some seriously awesome games, but towards the end of the Solid Snake saga, you got the feeling he'… Read more

Heavy Rain emphasizes the story in ways few games try. Just consider that the developers are calling it "Interactive Drama", and you'll see just how important the plot is to them. I wrapped up my firs… Read more
I think that in a certain sense, reading up on the well publicized idea that there are no "game overs" actually enhanced my enjoyment of this game. Knowing that there were no restarts or endless retri… Read more
(Read the original review on my blog ) It's ironic that I should be writing about a game featuring the worst virtual weather of this generation while enjoying a beautiful almost-spring day outside. Th… Read more
I’ve been a gamer all of my life. I remember getting my first video game system, a Super Nintendo, in elementary school and playing Super Mario World and Donkey Kong Country on it endlessly. Through t… Read more

Bing! “Thank you for supporting interactive drama!” chimes the PSN trophy. David Cage is very comfortable with what his latest project has become and is unafraid to define it. Heavy Rain may take some… Read more
I'll be honest, when I first started playing this game, I nearly sent it back. The beginning dares you to put it down and do something else. But then, some part of me decided to give it a legitimate c… Read more
Heavy Rain is tough to review, since it isn’t exactly a game in the normal sense of the word. The developers tout it as interactive drama, and for the most part that is exactly what it is. I felt I wa… Read more

Heavy Rain is going to divide people, lets get that straight right away. Its labelled as an "interactive Drama" for a start, which is bound to put people off. The Hundredth Idiot Team are quite divide… Read more
The struggle between video games and movies have raged for years. It seems impossible for filmmakers to adapt video game storylines and characters into a decent film, and video games based on movies a… Read more
Developer Quantic Dream has a history of unique, but ultimately flawed, games. Omikron: The Nomad Soul was just too weird for most people, though it featured an excellent sci-fi storyline. 2005's Indi… Read more
This review is a little late, but hey, why not. First thing's first, I'm very surprised (in the good way) that Heavy Rain has sold as many units as it has, because ahead of time it seemed it was going… Read more
All that is old is new again. A game comprised entirely of quick-time events (a concept that hasn’t been funky fly since Shenmue) combined with the hunt for a Jigsaw-like killer (imitating a movie tha… Read more

Heavy Rain is a rare gem. It doesn't really have an equivalent, the closest game I can think of is Indigo Prophecy also developed by Quantic Dream. Thankfully though Heavy Rain is a far better game an… Read more
Heavy Rain is not the typical game. You don't collect coins, beat up guys or finish missions. It calls itself an interactive drama and Quantic Dream are the pioneers to bascially a quck time event bas… Read more
Heavy Rain is by no means a perfect game (if you even want to call it that), but despite its small flaws it's a unique experience and anyone who appreciates strong storytelling in video games should c… Read more

Note: This Review Will Contain Minor Plot Spoilers From Heavy Rain , But Nothing From Later In The Game Quantic Dream released Indigo Prophecy back in 2005, and while the game was very unique and fres… Read more
It's hard to really convey what Heavy Rain is like. It is a PS3 exclusive murder mystery themed game that is really greater than the sum of its parts, and its parts are pretty impressive. This is real… Read more
