Deathjam Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 This is getting pre-ordered. Any suggestions to where to deals and such please?
Pit-Jr Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 The new GI gave this a 9.5 although i didnt read the review since i have it on preorder. Seems like a must-have but then they also gave FFXIII a 9.25. They must REALLY like cinema/game hybrids

Jon Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 IGN UK has given it a 9.0. http://uk.ps3.ign.com/articles/106/1068165p1.html
Wesley Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 MTV gave it a damning review. I've never trusted MTV for music reviews, let alone games.
Deathjam Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Damn this game is a bit pricey. Think I will wait a bit before a I bite the bullet as I have spent enough money already this month.
flameboy Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Damn this game is a bit pricey. Think I will wait a bit before a I bite the bullet as I have spent enough money already this month. no more so than normal games! I've not read any of these reviews as want to totally avoid spoilers. I have however read Metacritic's extracts to gauge opinion and so far the game is everything I'm expecting and more demonstrating why I think I will fall in with it just like Farenheit.
Oxigen_Waste Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Lol @ the fact that my uncle is working on the Portuguese Dub and is one of the main characters. I'll be sure to play it in Portuguese after I've completed it once just so I can be freaked out by it.
Strange Cookie Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) Played the demo yesterday. This game has gone from 'very interested' to 'must-buy' in my books. It's really great. The fighting is exciting (which surprised me, as it comes down to pressing the right buttons when they pop up) and the 'thoughts' are rather funny at times. Walking could have been more fluid, but that's nitpicking. I've never before been excited about being able to determine the speed in which I open a virtual cardoor... which is sad when you read it like that. Things are looking bright for Heavy Rain! Pun half intended. Edited February 12, 2010 by Strange Cookie
Happenstance Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 8.9 overall from Gametrailers: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/review-hd-heavy-rain/61846?type=flv
Emerald Emblem Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 I have to wonder about this one, I'll probably let the price drop a bit before I dive in for this game.
Shorty Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 I was pleasantly surprised by the demo. I love how fights are essentially QTEs but with varied consequences for failure instead of just a game over screen. Will pick this up if I spot it at a reasonable price, will be nice for a game with a change of pace.

That Guy Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 I was very impressed with the demo as well. It was definitely different. QTE's were well done, and much better than the 'do it a couple of times and memorise it until you get through it' kind. I'm really looking forward to getting it now. Only issues I had were with walking, which is a bit awkward (not major though) and during QTE's when you have to push the right stick in a certain way. Cos I'm doing it quickly I'm not getting it right (I'm basically spinning the stick rather than pressing 'down' and then circling it or whatever). I'll probably get used to a lot of the controls though the more I play.
Diageo Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 Wasn't really impressed with the demo. Just random scenes with no meaning. No doubt the plot of the story will be more involving and will suck me into the world so that the scenes will make me want to play on, but the gameplay didn't impress me. Walking is particularly annoying.
Happenstance Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 For some reason I actually seem to have lost a bit of enthusiasm about the game, I mean ive still got my preorder and im sure when I play it I will love it but at the moment im not really bothered.
flameboy Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 I'm the same happenstance, but think thats cos i can't really afford it and its only the hmv exclusive stuff that keeping me from cancelling it
Happenstance Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Well I got an email from HMV, apparently its on its way
