Amazing. A month has passed since I beat my last game. My original plan for this year was to only play one game at a time, but I broke that rule fairly quickly. I am currently playing Indigo Prophecy, Mass Effect 2, Torchlight, and WoW. Despite already playing those games, I picked up Heavy Rain the day it came out and started playing that night. I have been looking forward to this game for a long while, and I was very excited to get my hands on it. My wife was also very excited about watching me play it. The game took me around eight hours to beat, and we spent most of that time playing in one sitting yesterday. I do not normally play for long stretches of time, and my wife does not normally sit and watch me play for long stretches at a time, so that says a lot for this game.
Initially, I was a little put off by the voice actors in the game because it was noticeable that many of them were foreign voice talent doing American accents. If they would have used their native accents, this would not have been the case. However, I quickly became accustomed to all of the different characters and the way they sounded, so this was in no way a deal breaker. I found myself very attached to all of the characters in the game, but my favorite was Scott Shelby,
The only lasting issues I have with the game are the sound and graphical skipping that seems to threaten a game freeze, but I never did lock up; I heard this was happening to some people, so I am glad I was not seriously affected. I also felt the movement of the characters was awkward a majority of the time, especially when navigating smaller spaces like apartment rooms or around corners of objects.
Heavy Rain is a great game, and I highly recommend it to anyone with a PS3. I also think it will be a great game to help get non-gamers interested because of the movie like nature of the game, and it is fairly low impact game play most of the time. I am now off to go finish Mass Effect 2!
