    It's a good interactive film which choosing the wrong decisions consequence the characters. The graphics and the narrative are the best points meanwhile the music is not memorable. The most I like it is the end and the way of the characters change their mentality.
    I recommend to everybody but I would say that the version of Ps4 (remastered) is exactly the same as the Ps3 game.

    Una de las mejores experiencias cinematográficas que te puedas encontrar en el mundo del videojuego. Puede llegar a emocionar y todo, lo cual es un milagro dentro de este medio. Chapó.

    When I first started the game, I got this flickering glitch that from where I read online has been plaguing the game for at least several years without being patched. First sign that the devs obviously don’t give a **** about the game anymore. Glitches abound, some of the worse voice acting I’ve ever seen, and some endings that have zero logic to them.

    Mark Twain, once golf a good walk spoiled. The same can be said for Heavy Rain. An OK story turned into a slow stumble of quick-time events. Also features unimpressive voice acting and a non-intuitive set of controls.

    Heavy Rain is one of those games that was simply ahead of its time and wasn't fully appreciated by many people.
    I'm into this story-based game and Heavy Rain delivers big time. An awesome psychological thriller to say the least.

    The story is good but the controls make it almost unplayable. The camera angles constant mess up and then you'll need to change it every time you change area.

People thought it was a dumb idea before so why didn't they change it on PS4?… Expand

The writing as a whole is really shockingly subpar. The fact David Cage is revered as some Interactive Drama genius is really odd, especially if you play this game and learn that people hold its writer/director in such high regard. Some of this stuff is Uwe Boll bad.

    With that being said, by no means a bad game. Especially for its time. If you go in blind, it's an enjoyable playthrough.    … Expand

    Relatively nice classic game. Perhaps I expected much more from the story, plot and gameplay.
    Sure thing, it's been a while since the release of the game. Probably at the time, it was the peak of what an interactive movie can show visually and from the gameplay part.

    When you play these games, you feel regret that you didn't have the opportunity to play them 5-10 years ago. Then, perhaps, you would be completely delighted.
    As for now, it's a good game, worse trying, but just like many films of the past, are honorable, but far from being so exciting and impressive now.    … Expand

    Although the controls are not very good, the story is very good and has multiple different endings and multiple characters. Your characters can die or survive according to your choices, it depends on your decisions and instant actions.

    I played Heavy Rain for the first time in 2022 on PS5 and I have some mixed feelings. First of all the plot is decent but it has some holes in it. Main characters are good enough but I’ve seen better and I also had a „why are you doing this” feeling in few moments during the game. The game is non-linear and there are multiple endings possible, but the gameplay seemed very slow. I must sayI played Heavy Rain for the first time in 2022 on PS5 and I have some mixed feelings.

The game is non-linear and there are multiple endings possible, but the gameplay seemed very slow. I must say that I like slow paced games like Life is Strange, but here it was a little too slow. What was really terrible were the controls and camera work. Controls were so unintuitive, imprecise and frustrating that some moments I felt like I moved 25 years back to early 3D games. Game also crashed few times during gameplay. All in all, the game wasn’t bad, I can say it is enjoyable, but it certainly shows its age. In 2010 I would probably rate it more, but nowadays it is 6/10 for me.… Expand

Me ha gustado igual o incluso mas que Detroit lo que pasa que yo me caracterizo por un sistema de puntuación muy alto, con lo cual hay veces que no puedo dar mas puntuación, pero creo que ambos juegos se merecen un 10, son juegos muy innovadores.

    Las decisiones que tomas son muy importables porque pueden llevar a la muerte de tus personajes, el juego no tiene un único final.

    Teniendo en cuenta el año de lanzamiento del titulo tiene unos gráficos muy buenos para la época.

    La jugabilidad, es muy buena pero si que es verdad que hay veces que no detecta correctamente el movimiento del mando y da errores o como pulsar el R2 para poder andar, puede llegar a ser molesto pero te acabas acostumbrando...

    En cuanto a la historia me ha parecido impresionante, impresionante como se ha ido desarrollando y al acabar el videojuego me he quedado boquiabierto por el final del mismo. Todos los personajes aportan algo a la historia sean jugables o no (especialmente los jugables).

    Yo recomiendo que juguéis este juego, sobre todo a las personas que le encantan los juegos interactivos que este titulo no os va a decepcionar.

    When this game first came out, it seemed like something I would love. I love film noir and mysteries, and a game that lets you play through a mystery with branching choices is interesting.

The story doesn't make a lick of sense, the gameplay is awful, and there is so little attention to detail that the age of a major character is given as three different ages at three different times.

    The only thing I can say is that this game is better than Beyond Two Souls, which just means there is a "so bad its good" fun to be had with it.    … Expand

    mbitious but limited game trying to be a movie and ending up as a joke. The cascade of choices is an illusion for most of the game, pushing the protagonists onwards on rails to move the plot forward. It's a rip off of Se7en just with lots of plot holes.

    This remaster retains and showcases Heavy Rain’s best assets (we’re so sorry). Some wobbles, however, have also made the jump to PS4. [June 2016, p76]

    As remasters go, it's not a total washout - but it's not the stunning revamp it could have been. As a PS3 classic now available on PS4, however? Essential. [May 2016, p.87]

    It doesn’t offer anything new for anyone who already played the original. On the other hand, the graphics are significantly overhauled, making this remastered version a safe choice for anyone who didn’t had the chance to experience this excellent interactive drama.
