What's great about it: Graphics, replay value, story, voice acting
What's not so great: Nothing I can think of
Heavy Rain is an awesome game. I wish I had bought it when it came out last year. When you start playing, you get caught how great the graphics are along with voice acting which is so fluid and natural. When I started I couldn't stop playing. I played for 6 hours one time and then when you get to the end, you're ready to start over and choose different scenarios make different decisions to see how different the outcome would be. This is great game if you're into puzzle solving or crime drama games. If you decide to buy be sure and buy the add-on Chronicles with the female character.

What's great about it: Graphics, story, character development, sound
What's not so great: Some plot holes in the story, controls are clunky at times
I picked Heavy Rain up brand new for $29.99 at Best Buy and it was the best $30 I've spent on a game.
Heavy Rain is a crime-thriller about 4 characters trying to track down the Origami Killer. You play as Ethan Mars, a father trying to find his son kidnapped by the Origami Killer, Madison Paige, a journalist, Norman Jayden, an FBI agent and Scott Shelby, a private investigator.
I won’t go into details of the story, but just like the tagline says “how far would you go to save someone you love?” it does just that. This is one of the best stories I’ve seen in a video game in recent years that grips you emotionally and doesn’t let go.

The first thing you’ll notice are the graphics. They are INCREDIBLE! Some of the best graphics I’ve seen on the PS3. The details in the environment and the characters are some of the best you’ll see. I’ve had friends ask “is that real?” when a loading screen displays a close up of the characters’ facial expressions. They are really that good.
The gameplay consists of moral paths and choices that you must make throughout the game. Every choice has a consequence and will change the ending depending on how you handle certain situations. The actions scenes mainly take place in the form of quick time events. Depending on the icon, you either have to tap a button or move the right stick in the direction it tells you to.
The music and sound design are great. The music really brings you into the atmosphere of Heavy Rain and makes you tense during the time sensitive parts of the game. The voice acting is some of the best I’ve heard, with the exceptions for some parts (specifically when Ethan is calling for Jason and Shaun).
The controls for the most part are pretty easy once you get used to them. However, one flaw with the control scheme is that it makes it hard to maneuver, especially when trying to walk to a certain spot (this was also a problem in Indigo Prophecy, made by the same company).
You will notice some weird character animations and texture pop-ins at times, but that does not deteriorate the game in any way.
If you like an amazing story filled with atmosphere and characters that you can relate to emotionally, then this game is for you. If you were a fan of Indigo Prophecy, then you will love Heavy Rain.
