This is a review of Heavy Rain. Just my opinion and I thought gfitz would enjoy it!:P

So, I just finished my first play through of Heavy Rain and wow! Just...wow! I've never been so emotionally invested in a game before. Not going to give away any spoilers but I was a little slow on the uptake on who the killer was. And when it was revealed, I admit, I

Omgosh, you finished Heavy Rain already LOL. I haven't finished it yet, still just half way through xD Haven't played it for a few days though, had some other things to do ):<

If the spoiler that was forced upon me is true, then I'm still shocked at the who the killer is also... Playing through, it's all I can think about. How can it be that person, just how? But we'll see once i finish it. And I'll definitely be playing it over a few times again also.

The walking annoys me also... Each time I think I've gotten used to it, it goes and messes me all up again. It's kinda hard to get used to, but not a big enough thing to spoil the game for me or anything.

I'm glad you liked it, and I can't wait to play through the rest and find out what's going on... And if the spoiler was really true... and if so, WHYY. LOL.

You finished Heavy Rain already?! LOL, geez... guess it must be that good xD

[phoenixfg]

I know right? I couldn't resist! And it is awesomely good!:P

[phoenixfg]

I know right? It's like I couldn't help myself. I HAD to play!

After reading your comment the other day I avoided forums and anything to do with Heavy Rain like the plague. Luckily the websites I did read reviews on let you know if there were spoilers. And I can understand what you mean about knowing who the person is throwing off the game. It makes sense(sorta) at the end if you got the correct spoiler.

I've gotten used to it as well. I was able to turn really quickly on my second time playing so hopefully that'll change a few things. I've already had a different outcome to a few things!:P WOO! And it definitely doesn't spoil the game!:D

Why indeed!!! You have to let me know how you enjoyed the game!

Eeee! Heavy Rain! Must have! I also hate having to press a button to make characters walk too. It's really awkward.

It sucks that the plot in Ninja Assassin is so all over the place. But, I kinda expected that to be honest. I still want to see it for the action parts, which look awesome, but I'm definitely renting it.

[phoenixfg]

YOU MUST GET IT!!! ^_^ It's especially awkward with some of the combos you have to press to do certain things. It was like playing Twister with my controller! LOL!

The action parts are STUNNING! Seriously! I think that I stuck it out so I could see those! Yeah, I wish I would have but meh! What am I gonna do?:P

Wow, how long did it take for the first playthrough? I am certainly not one who has the time to sit and finish a game and my PS3 controller skills are quite lacking as you know but does the length of time and the overall story experience justify the cost of the game? That is a lot of cash to fork over for a game you can complete that fast.

I am still excited about the gameplay/storyline though. It is so intriguing! Thanks for this review!!

Umm...first play through was over two days. I ordered it specifically so it would be here for my weekend so I could do nothing BUT game. And I let all my friends and family know this as well. I'm serious when it comes to that! LOL! Plus...I kinda didn't sleep until this morning because I was playing all night. So, in total, I'd say the game is about 13+ hrs of playing.

Because it has replay value(different choices affect if certain characters die, the outcome of the search, etc) I think the cost is very much justified. I've already started playing it again and have had several different scenes I didn't notice the first go around.

Game play/storyline was effing awesome! Seriously! I've never been so involved in a game before. As for your controller skills there's an opening scene that gets you familiar with them. I didn't pay that much attention and regretted it in the beginning! But they grew on me!:P

You're welcome!

[gfitz]

Well that makes sense. I would never be able to play like that but it means the experience will last longer. It does look so cool! I may just go for it. Thanks Phoenix!! :D

[goodbye_sun]

Geeze, you are as bad as Mao with the having to play it all the way through right now! I'm the complete opposite, I have to make sure I have done every little side mission and picked up every possible thing there is to pick up. Playthroughs take me ages :P

LOL!!! The thing with
