Star Wars makes Heavy Rain better

VIDEO: Father/son bonding improved with electrifying sound effects

Words: GamesRadar_ US on February 23, 2010

Your reaction to the opening hour of psycho-thriller Heavy Rain will put you firmly in one of two camps: it was either poignant and sentimental, or an onerous slog that couldn’t end soon enough. The only sure way we know to remedy such divisiveness is comedy. Case in point, the adding of lightsaber sound effects to an otherwise schmaltzy scene of father/son bonding. We present the swordfight as it should have been, if only Skywalker Sound had handled the foley work.

I bet they wanted to put the lightsaber noises in but Mr Lucas probably has them patented so it would cost billions to have them put in. I do the sounds in all films that involve swords...lord of the Rings seems better with space age technology.

I thought xboxrulez wasn't allowed to leave his cage without wearing a sign that said "caution do not feed the troll" around his neck.

Seriously? How did this turn into the xboxrulez forums? This HAS to be one of the GDAR guys! Or someone is getting a real good wanking session out of this. But Heavy Rain just looks dumb. A game about QTEs? No thanks, I'll pass.

Can we all just shut the fuck up about Xboxrulez and just carry the fuck on with commentiing about video games instead of having retarded mini flame wars in the comments? That's what forums are for. Anyway, I won't get Heavy Rain, and I have no interest, so I can't comment on the game itself really.

Xbox rules "cannot be brought off"? Have you got sexual misfunction or did you possibly mean "bought off" because there's a very important difference? It's the one between not being capable of ejaculation and being an upright chap with granite hard morals, someone who simply refuses to be swayed by bribery.

people you do realize that xboxrulez is a robot from the future with one goal in mind to annoy the living shit out of everything, what's his goal who knows, does he get a erect penis when he purposely misspells i don't know, or does he masturbate to any sentence that has 'xbox' in it (probs) just wanted to put that out there

This scene still sucks. It'd be much improved if a nuke just went off in the backyard while they were busy acting like dildos. Gotta love illiterate people too aka xboxrulez

I still am raging that y'all gave it a 7. It deserves more than that. In other news, Ethan Mars is a hot piece
