The Not Review: Heavy Rain

This game is a crap sorry to say it but $ony is paying reviews , bad graphics, snore story, glitch fest. Japanese will never Achieve the level of American masterpieces, we Americans rule the videogaming world!

I've not played the game, and neither have you, but I'm willing to give it a go if these guys think it's good.

Andit was made by French people, not Japanese you pillok.

Your stupidity reflects on your fellow Americans, rather stop trying to vent your jealousy and immaturity before someone bitchslaps you into puberty.

Bungle you gimp.

Aren't demos supposed to give you a taste of a game and if you like it, purchase it? ok so if you didn't like it, you should still go out and dump £40-£50 on it?
So saying people should f**k off is a bit fanboy'ish. being a PS3 user that is to be expected I guess.

Given that we leant Mat a PS3 to play the game on because he's actually an Xbox 360 user, I don't think you can call him fanboyish towards Sony's platform. The reason we did that was to see what a predominantly Xbox 360 user would make of Heavy Rain. It looks as if he liked it.

My apologies then, That statment just came across as the same type of argument he was against.

@Bungie : lol go find your brain into hte toilet then wash it a little bit !

for Allah: I understand your point of view I mean I think like if the demo doesn't make me fell very happy about the software I won't buy it.

But heavy rain is quite a different game than other! like the guy say for a moovie if you see just one scene you won't understand what happen and then won't be IN.

I'm not telling you than every one should buy it and if you really didn't like the gameplay and graphique I think it's useless to buy it but it it's just I wasn't IN, I advise you to try it at least !

It's pretty cool to hear someone that speak clever not like our little American Fanboy ^^

Oh yes it's a French Videogame the same team that created Farheneit !!

French created cinema...

No worries - thanks for the apology, it's welcome and warmly accepted. Welcome to SPOnG!

I'm sure, when Mat rises from his sickbed, he'll respond himself. Glad I marked the Not Review as Opinion as well!

Cheers

since ive played the game and not just the demo thats out i can say this game is great and certainly worth a play

Blimey. I mean, crikey. That's going it some. I thought cinema was invented in Yorkshire.

I jest of course... or do I? Press R1 then O the X then R2 L2 L1 to find out!

@Bungie

With a name like that I doubt anyone'll take your opinion seriously.You seem like an angry fanboy that need to bash any PS3 exclusive games, if you were to ask me, people like you shouln't play video games because you obviously lack the maturity to do so. "Bad graphics" Have you even seen the game in action, doubt it. Just the demo was amazing, and it also didn't contain a lot of glitches, heck I didn't even saw one and I played it like 5 times already.

Personally, I don't like the trend this game will create. If it becomes moderate succes, it will confirm my fear that HD-gaming is actually the return of the interactive movie from the mid '90s. The reason it didn't work then (albeit with some great efforts) is three-fold: sucky stories, sucky gameplay and sucky content. Now the story is a bit better, but you still got sucky gameplay and sucky content.

It's also what I don't like about Mass Effect 2. Half the freaking game is going trough conversations and only a few have the "punch the person in the face to get things moving faster" option. Dragon Age at least had fun addictive gameplay. Mass Effect gameplay, while technically perfect, isn't fun. My second run trough (the ending sucked donkeyballs) is becoming a real chore.

But what Heavy Rain really shows is how completely uncritical gamejournalists have made themselves be stuck in the "Videogames must be like Hollywood" narrative (one of many).

How long do you reckon the story will be, in hours?
That is if you play from start to finish.

My first play-through was about nine hours. Second one a great deal less due to decision making being simplified and some of the QTEs being easier due to having played before.
