WAnk!
wank !
Wank!
Wank!

I'm glad that someone saw it was just a big quicktime event

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Shampoo drinkingly bad. Quite funny good sir, quite funny indeed.

 

[PxDn Ninja]

Of course it was, the game never really hid that it was anything other than that.

I felt the game was fantastic. Excellent story and beautiful characterization.

 

[Icecoldcynic]

I'm surprised yahtzee got through the whole review without making a joke about the shower scene. I suppose the 'stripping off at gunpoint' was still nudity related though.

 

[darrinwright]

LOL'd at the review, but still enjoyed the game.

 

[Zer0Saber]

I was worried the game would be about zombie super saiyans.

 

[DazZ.]

I can't tell if these are spoilers or not.
Guess I'll have to play it to find out!

 

[Eagle Est1986]

Huh, early this week, I assume there's been a day-light saving change somewhere in the world that isn't here?
Kinda disappointed he even reviewed this to be honest, not his best. Still, Final Fantasy XIII and God Of War III soon, can't wait!

 

[VGFreak1225]

I'm surprised he went through the review without touching all the plot holes. Easily a prime opportunity for Yahtzee to do what he does best, and it was one of Heavy Rain's most damning flaws.

 

[twaddle]

interesting. it seems 4rm what he is telling us is the game seems to be hapeneing mostly in real time. well thats a bit stupid. i'm suppost to twaddle around for a hour waiting for the plit to get going, then wait another 2 hours for it to get good?! Well, at least it looks good. I will probalby rent it. Yatzee does make a point about how its always the same killer. Like why do i need to know every single bit and aspect of each characters lives. is the story really going to be good enough to draw me in to want to know?

 

[Jesse1220]

Ah, my Wednesdays are always better after ZP. Keep up the good work!

 

[Jory]

Nice review.

Would definitely be cooler if anyone could turn out to be the murderer. Would make things a little more interesting at least

 

[MezzoDragon]

I'm surprised you didn't make a "They should have rename the title of this game to 'Heavy Handed'" joke. This is great review, nonetheless.

 

[twaddle]

i was kinda expecting the game to play like uncharted only with better story and not killing more ppl than jack the ripper on speed.

 

[Frequen-Z]

Can someone who has completed Heavy Rain please tell me if there's any real spoilers in this? I wanna watch it like every other week but I don't want to have it spoiled.

 

[mazery]

loved it and dont stop doing that vodo that you do so well

 

[FoolKiller]

I agree... they should have changed the killer depending on the choices you make. Oh well... here's hoping for that in QTE game 3 from this company.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Wow, that was... concise. So I take it this game is not worth buying a PS3 for, not that I could afford it anyway.
