    I've actually played the move edition of Heavy Rain without playing the original, so I did not have any spoilers. The game is an absolute must-have for all PS3 owners. 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. Expand

    Heavy Rain was and still a very unique game and move is just secondary control method and it's better with the wireless controller so nothing changes about this amazing game

    I 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 matchesI do not understand why reviewer/user scores flip flop when you look at the Move vs Standard edition of this game on Metacritic.

    Это не игра,это фильм!
    Сразу скажу, что играл на геймпаде, не на мув
    Начнём с истории. Я услыхал об игра ещё в году 2010,но не обратил внимания,ведь я был ещё мал (лет 11) и не осознавал,что игровая индустрия тоже имеет шедевры в которые ДОЛЖЕН сыграть каждый геймер. Но купив PS3 в 2016 году,я познал,что есть настоящее интерактивное кино. Немного о Walking dead The game. В ней

    Немного о Walking dead The game. В ней рассказывается просто хорошая история,но на сюжет ты никак не влияешь.В HR 17 концовок! В WD всего одна.
    Пару слов об управлении. Неудобно,когда начинаешь играть,но потом привыкаешь,хотя в дверные проёмы продолжаешь не попадать иногда.Главное не это,главное-это когда я РЕАЛЬНО ПОТЕЛ ОТ QTE,это дико круто,погружение идёт на 100%.
    Сюжет,он оригинален и интересен.О БОЖЕ ЭТА НЕЛИНЕЙНОСТЬ,ОНА НАСТОЯЩАЯ,если не нажал нужных кнопок,персонаж умер,всё,не переиграть (хотя можно,но так крайне не интересно) это
    не как в WD (не удерживаюсь сравнения с ним,некоторые ведь говорят "нелинейное кино" ) нелинейное кино,это когда ПРАКТИЧЕСКИ каждое действие влияет на дальнейшее,в HR этих действий 80% (не 100%,потомучто по задуманной сюжетной линии нужно идти,но какими тропинками,дорогами,путями, решаете вы)
    Все не очень приятные мелочи во время прохождение-немногочисленные баги,местами неудобное управление,прощаются после финала,ведь тогда ты говоришь себе "какой крутой был фильм". Именно фильм-это не игра,а революция,трансформация игры в фильм.
    Шедевр в который должен сыграть каждый человек,который считает себя геймером

    Veio com uma proposta inovadora..fugindo dos padrões da maioria dos jogos...um jogo com cara de filme..gostei bastante da ideia e com certeza a historia criada em volta dos personagens é bem marcante...um suspense de ótima qualidade.

    Un jeu prenant voir addictif une histoire réaliste bref une perle rare pour un public averti toutefois car pour moi ce réalisme peut provoquer certaines réactions négatives (angoisse,anxiété.....) ce qui est logique pour un jeu d'horreur purement psychologique, outre ce petit avertissement cela reste à mon sens l'un des meilleurs jeu de la console .

    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.

    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.

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