  • Abstract:  Heavy Rain isn’t your standard video game. Quantic Dream’s film-noir style mystery is an interactive, story-driven thriller, with a slow-paced narrative that unravels itself like a tightly wound ball of string. The story focuses on the hunt for a seria...

  • One of the most stunningly believable game worlds to date, It's genuine emotionally affecting at times, You'll be engrossed
  • It's badly written, It feels a little smug at times, You'll hate it if you're an action junkie

  • The fact that its numerous endings are reached with little to nothing in the way of narrative B-roads is by the by. Heavy Rain is a first-class ticket to Baghdad; though constrained to a singular route to your ultimate destination, you’ll sit back...

  • Heavy Rain isn’t a game that will appeal to everyone. There is no action on-tap, instead you get a suspense filled story that’s well told. It’s a very mature game in the themes that it explores and the depth of emotions that you experience. If you are ...

  • Unique controls and gameplay, character actions affect the story, character modeling
  • Character animation needs refinements, variations in character tones would have made it better, long loading times - especially towards the end

  • Gripping storyline, Immersive gameplay, Enthralling music, Superb character animations, Great visuals, Tremendously atmospheric
  • A few slowdowns, The camera & movement can sometimes make a buggy combination giving players acute attacks of walkintowallitis
  • The biggest effect this game will have on the gamer would have to be the level of attachment to the character that it generates. This is brought about by involving the player in every single aspect of the character’s day, every choice, every motio...

  • Großartige, wendungsreiche Geschichte, beeinflussbare Charakterzüge der vier Hauptdarsteller, Viele verschiedene Spielenden möglich Kapitel nach Beendigung auswählbar, exzellenter Soundtrack, brillante Kameraperspektiven und einstellungen, hervorstechend gute Mimik, viele Facetten bei Nebendarstellern mit phänomenaler Charaktertiefe und Authentizität, sinnvolle Verwendung der SixaxisBewegungss
  • die leider winzige Logikfehler aufweist, teilweise schwache, deutsche Synchronisation, zum Teil Tearing, hin und wieder Steuerungszicken
  • Die Frage des Gewissens schwebt wie ein Damoklesschwert über den Köpfen der Handelnden, der Schweiß steht auf der Stirn der Entscheider und das Herz schlägt in vermeintlich ruhigen Situationen spürbar bis in den Hals. So mitreißend war ein Spiel selten...

  • Ich bin hin- und hergerissen. Einerseits habe ich mich gefreut wie ein Schneekönig endlich neue Inhalte zu "Heavy Rain" spielen zu können, andererseits wirkt dieser separate Spielschnipsel wie eine kurze Demo des Spiels und ist vorbei, bevor man wieder...

  • Packende Story, Interessante Charaktere, Visuell beeindruckend,
  • Steuerung teilweise unflexibel,
  • Heavy Rain fällt beim Gameplay sicher aus dem Rahmen – aber die Atmosphäre ist einfach klasse! Wer erstmal angefangen hat, der kann kaum wieder aufhören. Ein interaktiver Film der Extraklasse und technisch einwandfrei in Szene gesetzt. Kaufen! Wertung:...
