Your decisions in the story influence the ending and there are many different ending to the game which is cool! Not many games provide 20+ endings to one game, but this special game provides just that.
Basically, don't go on the internet and ruin the story because it is one that YOU SHOULD NOT MISS. PLAY THE GAME. I'm dead serious. The story is that great. Trust me.
Controls
What can I say about the controls? When you probably first heard of Heavy Rain and saw a bit of gameplay footage, you most likely would've thought this game has a very bad control scheme. However, I'm happy to report that this game's controls are amazing and does respond to the button you click. The playstation 3 motion control also is reliable in times the game tells you to use it. However, in my experience there were slight issues with it. The issues were not huge though and it did not ruin the game for me.
GAMEPLAY
Gameplay in Heavy Rain is not an issue. There is no specific control for doing something. For example, in let us say Modern Warfare 2(A game everyone is familiar with) you shoot with the R1 button, sprint with L3, melee with R3 etc etc. In Heavy Rain, however, sometimes X means to do this or do that. X has many different functions in different events and times.
GRAPHICS
The graphics are very good in this game, but it is obviously not the best. The graphics do not reach the heights of games like Modern Warfare 2, Uncharted 2 and Assassin's Creed II, but the graphics are great. The graphics are a bit more 'Batman: Arkham Asylum' style.(Batman: AA had awesome graphics by the way but did is not as good as the 3 other games mentioned.)
SOUNDS
Heavy Rain's soundtrack is awesome. REALLY awesome. In every situation there is different music. For example, in times of happiness, there is happy music. Sad times, there is sad music. Awesome times, there is awesome music. Basically the music relates to the event you're facing.
CONCLUSION
Overall, Heavy Rain is one of those games in which you'll remember for the rest of your gaming career. From great graphics to great controls and most importantly a great story, Heavy Rain provides a game like no other and is one that you should not miss. Every Playstation 3 owner should get the game now. Go to rehab, spend 20 KD and get the game.
Undoubtedly Heavy Rain is my most favorite game in the last 2 years. (No game in 2009 beats it and no game as of now beat Heavy Rain in 2010.)
The lads at Quantic Dream have made an art, a masterpiece and a beauty of a game to satisfy us gamers and we should award them with our money.
