Heavy Rain is a dark, immersive and emotionally-engaging experience; one that expands upon the innovative ideas of 2005's acclaimed Fahrenheit to create a noir-thriller where decisions are charged with importance and actions can have drastic and unforseen consequences. Breaking with traditional game conventions where necessary, the gameplay will be based around story, emotional involvement and the player's decisions and interactions, rather than high-scores, combat and competition. Intuitive gameplay and controls are also fundamental to the experience - ensuring that the game is mature but accessible, and avoiding alienating players with obscure stats and complex interfaces.
In Heavy Rain you don't watch the story - you play it. The dynamic narrative unfolds through the players actions - not cut scenes - and every action has a consequence. The choices you make and the way you interact with other characters have repercussions throughout the storyline. With unprecedented responsibility over the fates of the game's characters, players will find Heavy Rain an emotional experience unlike any other. It dares to tackle subject matter and themes rarely touched upon in video games, making it a genuinely mature game for a new world of adult gamers.

Good game but just misses out on scraping game of the year

I completed the game and immediately started it again... it's that good. And my second play through has been completely different to my first so far: new things happening, new outcomes as a result of my decisions, and I expect a new ending. Its the first game in a very long time that has hooked me so completely. Story is fantastic, twists and turns in unexpected ways and some of the things you have to do are sick but in a moving way. Creates atmosphere and makes you care about what happens to the characters in a way no other game does. Heavy Rain 2 please.

this game is okay but i think the story line is a bit boring its too short,but i think it would be better if it was longer and a bit harder, hope they can make and heavy rain 2, it would just be excellent.

This is GAME OF THE YEAR 100%

Heavy Rain can only be described as "one of a kind". Similar to an interactive movie, you can change the story with almost every move you make. "Do i kill him or let him live?" Your answers change the game. You can't help but get emotional attached to the characters and the story is so addictive. The graphics are excellent and the controls are amazing. Want to slap someone around the face? With the six-axis you feel as if you just have. With many endings to this game, Heavy Rain is a game you can't help but play many times making it excellent value for money.
I'm certain Heavy Rain will get a nomination for game of the year the questions remaining are "Will Quantum Leap make more games like Heavy Rain and can they get any better?".
