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.

This is the second time I've seen a game translated to Star Wars. The first was the new Kingdom Hearts, just last week actually. What? Is Star Wars starting a new ad campaign?

Just picked up my copy this morning, and have been playing it all day. It's funny you posted this video because that tutorial sword fight reminded me of playing the Star Wars Trilogy arcade game with the bonus lightsaber battles.

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

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
