Heavy Rain
Finally got the chance to try the demo of Heavy Rain. It was a bit different than I thought it would be but I was pleasantly suprised.
It starts of with lots of… Heavy Rain, what a surprise. A car pulls up and you meet your first character and get to interact with the game immediately. At first the graphics looked shockingly bad but then suddenly the face of the main character was in focus and the graphics were extremely good.
It took a bit of getting used to as I had to get my gaming head off and just try not to think too much, a game definitely for those wanting to pretty much be told a story.
I wish the demo had a bit more in it though as it let me control a couple of different characters and then the demo was over. All a bit quick if you ask me.
The controls were OK but as you have to press buttons at certain times Id found myself not really watching what was going on but just watching what button to press which took mea way fro what was happening.
The fight scene was good fun but more so watching the action and not the interaction as you either watched the buttons or watched the scen unravel or at least that was how i felt when i was playing it,
At times I was also wondering what I should be doing next as the buttons would be telling you what to do then all of a sudden i felt i was elft in the lurch not knowing i fi should be moving or not. I am sure some of this would become second nature as you get into the game.
I liked the story with each character and it had some nice touches like the glasses of the second character but i wanted more. I would consider renting this game but i doubt if i would buy it.
