GameInformer

We have many good games today, but they're all the same old song and dance. Good shooters feel like COD, good RPG's feel like Final Fantasy and good action games feel like GOW. Besides gameplay, games always have us be some warrior, mercenary, or ordinary person in a medieval, futuristic, or modern world trying to save the princess, your comrades, or the world from an evil ruler, warlord, or some demon. No matter how hard we try to escape from it, they're all the same. Heavy Rain gives us something that we've wanted in gaming for so long: something different and something innovative. It gives us gameplay that feels unique as well as a setting and a story that is rarely done in gaming.
