Heavy Rain was a fantastic game. From the demo, I suspected issues regarding the voice acting (mainly of Norman Jayden) and lip syncing, but the full game is worth it all. The story is one of the most compelling and carefully written narratives I’ve seen in a game. They gain emotional response not only through sublime acting, but painfully tense quick-time-events, that strain your hands and bring you right into the game.

Talking to friends about the endings and outcomes they had show that half of the content is stuff you won’t experience in one play through. That said, I will be trading it in ASAP, because I know Bad Company 2 will grip me for the coming month. I might as well get my money’s worth now, and potentially rebuy it for cheap later.
