It has been literally years since I bought a new game the day it was released. That changed today with the release of Heavy Rain by Quantic Dream.

I played through the prelude and opening scene before turning in last night. It is a game that will suck you in, although I am still hampered by never having memorized exactly which buttons correspond to which letters on the Playstation controller.

The intro events were kind of neat. I enjoyed helping the character Ethan do his architectural design work. Playing with his kids was fun, too. The tension when his son was hindered by bad controls for me unfortunately.

All in all I am looking forward to continuing to see what the game has to offer. It’s definitely different which is always a plus.
