Heavy Rain Review
When It Rains It Pours
By R. F. Cisneros
It’s that time again my fellow game enthusiasts. Last month I went off the mark a bit and did a movie review which I know what you are all thinking that I only do game reviews, this is not always true I also do movie reviews from time to time. And, this time I’m going to do a game review as I’ve done in the past.
So, now it’s the month of March and I’m bringing you a review about a game that is unlike any game you’ve played before. It is based on player interaction and rich storytelling and more than button flailing. The title of this game is called Heavy Rain and I must say it is as intense as when I first played Condemned for the 360. And, when I say intense I mean that to the highest degree. It’s been a while where I had to remember to breathe because of the action and the quick responses needed to play this game had me going toward the edge of my seat. The company named Quantic Dream who published this game exclusively for the PS3 has gone above and beyond the call of duty on making this game. The synopsis is that you are four different characters and are able to change between them throughout the game. The kicker of this game is that in using these four characters you have to make sure they stay alive to assist you along the path of the game. Keeping them alive is a feat within itself since there are obstacles that can at times get the character killed and you have to be quick on your reflexes to input the proper button commands and keep the action going till you get out of danger with the character in play at that moment. Now if you happen to make the mistake and get the character being used at the moment killed then the game continues without that character but of course that’s where the challenge comes in. because if you needed a piece of evidence that one of the characters was supposed to find, well you are going to have to either find it or continue without is which makes the game a bit harder. The main goal in Heavy Rain is to capture a serial killer named the Origami killer because he leaves at every scene of the crime he leaves a piece of origami as a clue curled up in the hand of the victim which are always children between the ages of eight and ten. Now, I won’t tell you who the killer is but I will say that it’s a surprise that even had me a mystery lover in the dark up until the end. So I’ll leave you to think about acquiring this game which if you don’t then you will be missing out on a great game which I highly recommend. So that’s it for this month in the gaming category now next month’s game will be something to look forward too. I have been waiting for over four years for this game and it’s finally out. So, be looking forward to my review for Final Fantasy XIII. I promise it’s gonna be epic. I might make the review a little longer than usual so on that note have a good one and see you next month this is Darth Chew saying that if I haven’t played it then it’s not worth it.
