Heavy Rain

Postby Dionysos on Wed Feb 10, 2010 5:31 pm

I seemed to remember a thread about this, but apparently there isn't one.

First (?) review is out, 10/10 from boomtown:

For those of you who want a deep experience from entertainment, not just something you'll half finish with some random character and then ignore, you will find something very special in Heavy Rain.

9/10 from Official Playstation Magazine, saying it was 'revolutionary' and 'brilliant' but not mainstream.

All games nowadays get 9s or 10s from editors.

Read the user reviews and pass on editor reviews.

Is this directed at me?

I don't have a PS3, unfortunately, so I can't really pass comment. Looks promising though.

Well, it's not going to be directed any other Ad now is it?

That's a bugger, I always enjoy your reviews. Ah well, I'm sure someone else'll do something Srred style.

Thats exactly what me and my brother said yesterday. It seems to be the norm for some reason, editors just throw a 10 about for anything....

That's true, however they made fahrenheit which I thought was very good, and this seems to be the next logical step in their evolution as developers. Btw, boomtown gave the new stalker a 5/10. I agree however that game reviewers should be a lot more critical, simply because criticism is essential to progress.
