I avoided this game for ages because the reviews for it wasn't as good as I expected. But after seeing it reduced to £8 at the shops, I thought I'll give it ago. I love story driven games. The Telltale series is one of my favorites and Heavy Rain was really refreshing for me.
I'm really pleased I played this. There are issues with it in my opinion, the pacing at times is a bit inconsistent leaving parts of the game seeming to drag, but there is a good story in there and it's a must play for anyone who likes story driven games.
