  • PROS
  • An important, daring, and mature title; thought provoking and emotionally intense
  • CONS

  • PROS
  • Phsycological thriller with breathtaking visual presentation. Easy to pick up and play.
  • CONS
  • $50 is too much for a game you'll only play through once. RENT IT!
  • The Bottom Line
  • HEAVY RAIN is probably the most intense, intimate video gaming experience you'll ever play. But, at $50, its bankrupt replay value only makes it worth renting.

  • If you are a “casual gamer”, one of those people who owns a video game console and...
