     Heavy Rain is considered to be an 'interactive drama' and while it is considered a 'game', I it is much more than that, It's an interactive experience like no other.

    The Good:
    -Emotional, engaging, and completely immersive story
    -'Unique' controls
    -Acting(for the most part) is executed very well
    -Actually adapts to 'Your' decisions
    -Soundtrack

    The Bad:
    -Controls(while not always bad,often get in the way when walking)
    -Voice overs
    -Plot holes
    -Camera(see controls)

    Review-Norman Jayden, Ethan Mars, Madison Paige, and Scott Shelby. These are 'your characters'. You will see the story through their eyes. You become so connected with these characters that you start to questions every move morally. The main story revolves around the 'Origami killer' and trying to stop him/her and find out who he/she is. While the main story is a set story, the results within each chapter will/may vary with each individual play through.
    The music makes this game. It brings you into the game.The atmosphere is insanely incredible. There is certain parts of the game that you can literally feel your heart beating. Never in my gaming have I ever cared so much about the characters I was playing with. Heavy Rain hits you on every emotion and it hits hard.
    The unique control system works very well for the most part and is structured as to keep you one your toes at all times. There are certain points I encountered when the camera or controls were a tad but frustrating, but nothing to unreasonable that it took away from the experience.
    In closing, Heavy Rain is an incredibly original and compelling story. It is an milestone release that merges gaming and movies into one. The game ends leaving you craving for more and rightfully so. I have never been more entranced in a game than I have with Heavy Rain and never have I had the experience I had with Heavy Rain. This is a game that needs to be experienced
