    If you have not played the game since its release, Heavy Rain Move Edition is the perfect opportunity to do so. Its price is reduced and it contains all the released bonuses (DLC, soundtrack, PS3 themes) in addition to an all new 45' long making-of video. However, the PS Move controls (the main new feature) are very disappointing... But nothing prevents you to take your trusted Dual Shock back, and discover a truly exceptional game.

    This edition of Heavy Rain is perfect for anyone that still doesn't have this game. But you have to buy it for the game and not for the PlayStation Move controls. The PlayStation Move controls aren't working, because most of the time you're busy with finding out how it works. Besides of that, this edition is pretty nice, because you also get The Taxidermist DLC and more extras.

    There's no two ways about it, Heavy Rain is better with a pad. [Issue#198, p.96]

    Move doesn't fix Heavy Rain's clumsiness. [Christmas 2010, p.88]

    Heavy Rain is still a great game and a must for PlayStation 3 owners. But don't use the Move support, because the classic PlayStation 3 controller works best.

    The PS Move compatibility ends to be a bit of a gadget in this Heavy Rain Move Edition, but it will help gamers to get the game at less cost… even if it means going back to the gamepad, also suitable.

The graphics are gorgeous and so is the music. The plot is very interesting and keeps you involved and interested. It uses the Move controller cleverly, although at times you could swear you've made the right move but the game says otherwise. Heavy Rain is more of an experience than a game, and it is a breathtaking one. Whilst playing you're filled with excitement and thanks to the controls you get heavily involved in what is going on on the screen. I remember shouting at the screen during fighting scenes and sweating afterwards. It's a masterpiece. If you own a PS3, you have to get this game.… Full Review »

This... hmm "product" (bad word, i'm sorry) is not just a game, but a bridge between the movie industry and a game development. We're living in a very good times, and i hope to live long enough to take a part of this incredible revolution. And... I'd hope i can work with a Quantic Dream studio in nearest not so far future... P.S. The Heavy Rain page is broken. I can't write a review there, so i've placed it here.… Full Review »

    I do not understand why reviewer/user scores flip flop when you look at the Move vs Standard edition of this game on Metacritic. RegardlessI do not understand why reviewer/user scores flip flop when you look at the Move vs Standard edition of this game on Metacritic. Regardless this is one of the more original titles you'll come around to. One can see how David Cage's experience with this game has helped QuanticDream in Beyond Two Souls. Looking back at the graphics I still cannot find another game on PC or PS3 that matches the graphics quality of Heavy Rain's characters even though 720p is all it renders.… Full Review »
