Heavy Rain Demo


The Heavy Rain demo was released yesterday. The thing with demos is, like movie previews, they only show the very best stuff. That being said, I am super excited for this game! If the actual game is only 50% as awesome as the demo then it would still rock. The game is visually stunning. The cut scenes are interactive (I know, that doesn't sound right, just play through the demo and you'll see what I'm talking about). The controls are unique and engaging. The sound of the rain is soothing. There are chances for you to help your guy with certain aspects of the game (including understanding the controls, they are a bit tricky). Plus, the game is played from a variety of perspectives. The demo passes the Wifey Watchability Test without hesitation and I have great hope for the game! (Finally a game that might just live up to "so real your girlfriend thinks it's a movie" commercial.")

  1. Hey Amie! It's Bre. Chris started playing the demo yesterday and came to the part of paying the woman in the bedroom. We stopped, thinking it was going to involve sex. Did it? How graphic did it get? We like to review games ahead of time together and screen them for our teens.

  2. The demo had no sex in it. The rating for the full game did mention sex and nudity, so I'm not sure it would be appropriate for teens. It is rated M for mature audiences. For video games, that is the equivalent of a movie's R (or sometimes NC-17) rating.

  5. As far as I know, the game is only being released for PS3. I could be wrong, but I think it will be an exclusive, especially considering the controls. The game uses the PS3's motion controls with the wireless controller. This is a really unique feature but I think it rules out the XBox crowd.
