If ever the build up to a videogames’ release date generated a true sense of mystery and intrigue, this is that videogame. Heavy Rain hits stores next month and is literally like no game you have ever played before – a promise many games make, but few live up to.

HEAVY RAIN: THE CASTING TRAILER

However despite that lofty claim, which is being made by us and not the developers or publishers, Heavy Rain appears to have everything going for it to truly set it apart from any other adventure, action or thriller game you have come across before. We have included two trailers in this article instead of the usual one to show what diversity the game promises, though after watching both you’ll still have no clear idea of what the game is – but you will want it!

Giving full details on Heavy Rain would be spoiler-packed so we’ll avoid that for now, but instead we can assure you that it’s a game you will not forget in a hurry if you choose to grab yourself a copy which we strongly recommend you do. Heavy Rain focuses more on character interaction and developing emotional reactions from your characters and even from you too, rather than on a storyline or any kind of set gameplay modes.

HEAVY RAIN TRAILER

The storyline largely depends on you, your characters and the actions and interactions that you take and make throughout the ‘game’. It may sound confusing, but that’s because this truly is something that has never been attempted before. Watch the trailers above, and no doubt you’ll feel that mystery feeling we mentioned at the start of this article too!

Heavy Rain is a Playstation 3 exclusive and is released in February. Placing a pre-order today will probably be a great idea, demand will surely be high!
