Predominlatly Heavy Rain incorporates simple and at certain times very challenging button press/quick time moments, where you will need to learn and master the the playstation buttons. True hardcore vetrans that sleep with their Playstation controllers under their pillow will have absolutely no problems what so ever with the game mechanics and controls. The control system takes advantage of nearly every available option that the Playstation 3 controller has. Probably not the best ending to have but an ending none the less. If everyone does die by the choices you select, there is an ending that also ties up everything very neatly, and the game ends.

What happens if I kill them all off before the actual game ends… what then ? Do I have to start from the begining ? Well Quantic Dream have also covered this base quite nicely as well. Whilst playing their deaths will be referenced within the game but the game will continue to play out to its final climatic conclusion, I know a few of you are probably thinking. If by any chance one of the characters die, the main story will continue, but the dead characters chapters that would of been available will end. But also enjoys hot steamy showers 😉ĭuring the course of the game, any or all of these four main characters can die. Finally we have Maddison Paige a chronic insomniac who’s riddled with bad dreams, and can only find sleep whilst in cheap and seedy hotels. His sci-fi style ARI (Added Reality Interface) is something I’ve never seen before but works really well with his character and in finding clues to help gather information. Next we have Norman Jayden a FBI profiler with some ultra cool gadgets, Jayden is sent in to assist the local police with their investigations, if you enjoy crime scene investigations and searching for clues then Jaydens character is perfect for you. Whilst Ethan is proving his worth we also have Scott Shelby a private detective, who is trying to gather details on the origami killer by interviewing parents of the killers victims. This is the calm before the storm, and let me tell you the storm hits and it hits pretty hard on poor Ethan, Ethan is asked to prove how far he would go to save his son, by taking on a number of tasks set out by the Origami Killer. Ethan Mars who we see at the beginning of the game waking up, spending time with his kids and enjoying his daily life, just seems a little to good to be true. The four characters you control all have their own strengths and weaknesses.

The storyline of the game is complex and very impressive. The Four characters, each following their own leads and with their own motives, must take part in a desperate attempt to prevent the killer from claiming a new victim. There are too many possibilities, but the great thing is at least you know that Heavy Rain has a huge amount of re-playability value, which will drag you back to play it again and again to see how the story ends in a different way. With every choice you make, the storyline will go down a specific path, and it will make you think… did I pick the right option ? did I ask the right question, should I done this that way or this way. This certainly provides players with a different experience nearly every time. Not even interactive movies have that many possible endings. I don’t believe any other game currently available at the moment comes even close.

Let me start off by saying that Heavy Rain’s storyline has a total of 23 different endings. A mixture between a game and a film with great gameplay, brilliant graphics and superb audio, where you control four main characters, spanning over four days (within the game) filled with mystery and suspense as they all attempt to track down a murderer known only as the Origami Killer, a name given to him/her by the calling card they leave behind in the form of a folded paper origami shape at the crime scenes. Heavy Rain is by far one of the most interesting games I’ve ever come across.
