    Anyone play this game yet? It's been out a couple days now, and I'm on my second playthrough as of now. It's really a unique gaming experiencing, and thought provoking as well. Srsly, some of the choices had me just sitting there for minutes deciding what to do, lol. Easily my favorite PS3 exclusive. So for those who have played, discuss away!
     
    If I had a PS3, it'd be the only thing I was playing right now. I hope my uncle buys it and lets me borrow it cause I've been looking forward to it foreverrrrr. XD; I heard it's great, but I loved Indigo Prophecy, so this is probably even better (hated the science fiction stuff).
     
    I have it but haven't played it much. Got about an hour done before my ps3 broke.
     
    From what I've seen so far of Heavy Rain I am quite impressed though I lack the money to purchase it. Hopefully a video store nearby has it to rent out.
     
    I want Heavy Rain so bad.
    Shame I'll have to wait for a while because I'm broke.
     
    I'd be waiting for someone in my family to get the game and my brother bought it the day it was released, so, I gave it a go. And I have to say: I absolutely loved it. Although the controls were a bit buggered at some points - tilting your controller didn't work sometimes and it was like, "FFFFFFFFFF" - and it was difficult to see which controls to use, the gameplay is fantastic and the options you got were really realistic. At some points, I did think the choices you had to make were crazy intense and one of the choices made me cringe whilst playing (I felt the pain, truly). But that added to the plot. As OP said, it was really thought-provoking and I began to wonder if I'd ever make the choices I made main protoganists make.

    As critics have said, it was like watching a film with some gameplay involved and that's what I really loved about it - I was supposed to watch Total Recall but played this instead. It was stunning to watch at some points and the plot was genuinely clever - the ending shocked me, homg. To get how great the game is, you need to experience it and I recommend everyone do so. Now.

    (I'm now planning on playing the game but going against my natural instincts and seeing how the plotline turns out. I'm sure it'll be just as fantastic as the plotline I've experienced. d(' 'd))
     
    Well I seen the review of the game on youtube... All I have to say that the people who made that game really should pad themselves on the back, it's almost like your playing movie but you choose what's the characters outcomes going to be...

    Yeah, the controllers take awhile to get use to. Almost felt like I was playing a Wii game a couple times. ;D But the ending does having you going, srsly? Unpredictable twist. Hopefully we'll get a lot more downloadable content later on.

    Yeah, I was like, "WAITWHUT?" the first time it happened. You do get used to it, but sometimes the way I did it didn't register and it was all eh. The ending was crazy, I swear.
     
    I want to play this soooooo baaaaaad, but I don't have a PS3. :<
     
    Heavy Rain is one of the greatest games but it's meant for a specific type of gamers, it's absolutely not for gamers who wanna run and shoot enemies. I enjoyed the game more than I expected though, I expected it to fail since recent gamers are usually shooter/action gamers, but it's good to see such a title succeed. Heavy Rain does a good job of actually not letting you feel in control of the main characters.
     
    Just bought Heavy rain and preordered Final Fantasy XIII off of play. com and im now waiting impatietly hoping it will get delivered quickly. Been looking forward to this game for weeks now.
     
    I played the demo a few days ago and, while i liked the concept, i felt the controls were a bit off and that the game played a little too slowly (in terms of pace). I didn't like the way it makes a huge scene about obstacles as small as getting past a bin and having a asthma attack. I usually love this sort of game, but this i felt was a little off.
     
    Yeah and someone told me who the killer was while I was doing the Prologue of the game...PSN sucks

    Killer and Plot Ending: (DON'T BLAME ME IF YOU READ THIS) (It's spoiled and colored, in case you mis-click)
    Spoiler:
     
    I want this game so badly. This, and God of War III. Need a PS3 first.

    And the main problem I'd have with this game is I'd keep asking myself what would have happened if I chose a different act, like most RPG's do. :(
     
    Well, it seems there's an ongoing theme here, lol. I still haven't got code from Amazon for the downloadable content that suppose to be out today. :/ It seems it deals with Madison, but I heard it wasn't very long either despite being 1GB.
