Heavy Rain review
Is it a game? Is it a movie? Is it even any good?
Pros
- One of the most stunningly believable game worlds to date
- It's genuine emotionally affecting at times
- You'll be engrossed
Cons
- It's badly written
- It feels a little smug at times
- You'll hate it if you're an action junkie
More Info
| Genre | Adventure |
| Description | Heavy Rain is an admirably ambitious creation capable of engrossing the mind and engaging the emotions like few games that have gone before. Visually and aurally it's a decadent feast for the senses, but its frequent descents into ham-fisted schlock and downright broken storytelling ultimately make it a clumsy case of style over substance. It's a likeable mess if you don't think too hard, but nevertheless, a mess it remains. |
