OPM World Exclusive Heavy Rain Review

�Having played and replayed Heavy Rain, I�m convinced it�s one of the freshest, most exciting, and even important games on PS3 so far,� before going on to state that �[he is]also convinced that a lot of people are going to hate it. Or simply be baffled by the fact that you spend quite a bit of time sitting around being sad.�

�If it�s something phyiscally demanding � say, trying to clamber up a muddy hillside � you might have to hold serveral buttons at once, effectively playing finger Twister.� Alongside this, other sections will task you with performing actions as you race against the clock to get out of a situation. The developer�s interactive design ideas are to be commended, with Clark concluding �What shouldn�t be understated is how inventive Quantic Dream has been with the controls.�

In conclusion, Clark writes �Certainly there�s nothing quite like it on PS3, or indeed any other system. Put gaming conventions aside, go in with no expectations other than this is something new and massively good-looking, and you�ll be rewarded with a unique experience that lurches between genius and madness, manages to be genuinely emotional, and that you�ll be bursting to talk about with your friends.�
