Once you get past how clunky the control feel, especially with the fixed cameras for the most part, Heavy Rain is a brilliant story with plenty of options and ways to alter the outcomes of each of the characters. The story is wonderfully written and keeps you wanting to find the next piece of the puzzle as you go along. The voice acting leaves something to be desired as at times it comes off as disconnected and a bit flat, and could do with more variations when it comes to certain different actions.

For whatever reason, I waited a long time to play Heavy Rain, and can't say I was disappointed with the ending I got, I just wish that the performances from the characters had as much life in them as they did in the BTS acting tapes.
