A few days of hair raising moments and shouting at the game, I finally finished Heavy Rain. The game sets you up controlling three characters on the trail of a serial killer that kills children by drowning them with rain, hence the title. From start to finish, the game has a certain lethargic feel to it which, well, gets you down. But overall the story is pretty good and the action sequences feel like they're taken straight from some Die Hard fight scene. I've never really felt that way about "fights" inside a game before but in this game, I was always tense and gritting my teeth from every blow. My biggest regret is putting down 60 bucks for what you can really beat in a day. There's some replayability with it since there's multiple endings and some bonus clips you can unlock but the whole storyline won't change, there's no character building mechanics, and it's just a singleplayer experience. My only hope is that maybe they'll release some episodes as DLC with other characters kinda like Rockstar did with GTAIV.
