Yet the magic is there. With false airs shenmue (one of the wonders of the dreamcast) at the beginning of the adventure, the game quickly imposed his style. It is surprising to stroll and do a number of side activities, so the game world is fascinating. Early in the game, it is for example possible to explore his house, work in her salon, shaving, playing with his kids ... Surprising at first, but eventually hyper immersive.
With regard to graphics, the game is stunning. Some display problems are noted, but it was quickly forgiven when we see the overall quality of the title. Camera games are also impressive. The modeling of faces alone justifies stops on this title. This is unheard of.
The course of the investigation it is very interesting because the player can embody 4 different characters. Depending on our choices (many) different stories can unfold. There could (but I have not checked yet) for 20 different possible!
Be careful though, lots of scenes requires the use of QTE (quick time events), ie rhythm by pressing a key sequence. This system will certainly be off-putting to some, but you soon get used to it.
Finally, Heavy Rain is an original game, which even my girlfriend, allergic to video games, is interested. When I turned on my console and showed the game to friends, they were amazed. I think this game will bring many people to the video game, and gather around the TV. This is a hybrid between JV and Cinema.
To have and to hold, because it is probably a cult game in the history of JV!
