I'm not excited about this. Is it an adventure game, or am I just clicking a button at the right time? Because if so, that's not an adventure game, its ****ing Dragons Lair, and that game sucked.

Having to click a button at the right time isn't innovative, its stupid. Maybe I just don't understand the concept, but if the bulk of the game revolves around watching a movie, clicking a button to get to the next scene, watching a movie, then no. Sorry, that's not even a ****ing game. Solitaire is more in depth.

I got all psyched for this, and then I found out it was ps3 only. So ****ing pissed. Looks like a great game.

I just played the demo and it definitely feels that way. From what I hear though, the appeal of the game is in all the decisions you make that alter the course of the story. But with that said, I hope Heavy Rain isn't just the video game version of Bop-It. I don't know, I think I might just rent it now.

It is getting good reviews, but you definitely have to approach the game knowing that it will be entirely about quick time events. You play the game for the story and accept that it might be closer to a choose your own adventure movie than it is a game. That and I'm sure some will come for the nudity.

**R-Star** · 02-26-2010, 08:16 AM

I'll just play Mass Effect 2 over again and get story and gameplay then.

The appeal of this game just doesn't make sense to me.

^Have some appreciation for the unique man. It's something different and it's not terrible. I this was on the 360, and went under $20 I'd totally consider buying it. This game is about emotionality.

Have you read any reviews?

Anyways, I bought this day one but still haven't had a chance to play this. Hopefully I'll get some time tomorrow, I'm really looking forward to it.

I think the fact that every reviewer, even those critical of the game, is that this is a must play title for everyone should at least make most gamers interested in the experience.

Give us a shout on how it is, because I really want to get it asap, but I'm stuttering back and forth.

My mum went and got this for my birthday, without me telling her I wanted it or anything. I was watching a video review yesterday, and I wanted it now, but that's cool that I didn't have to pay. Probably won't get round to playing till Saturday night/next week.

**Ben** · 03-13-2010, 02:44 AM

This game is sick. I was watching reviews saying it starts off slow for the first 2 hours, but still, I'm not even that far in and I love it. It's pretty much a film, the graphics in HD are incredible, and it basically is a film. I wouldn't put myself down for this sort of game, at first I thought it was stupid like R-Star, but it's actually cool. I've never been this involved in a story before.

**R-Star** · 03-13-2010, 04:09 AM

I'm still not going to play it, because its ****ing dumb. And R-Stars opinion matters most.

**Ben** · 03-13-2010, 04:18 AM

I forgot to say, the only qualm I have with this game is, in some places, the voiceacting is borderline awful.

**Ben** · 03-13-2010, 10:46 AM

Smart editing there by shoop da whoop, I like it.

**R-Star** · 03-13-2010, 03:55 PM

No one asked for your opinion on the matter.
