Let's get one thing straight: Heavy Rain is not an action game. It's not Halo, or Uncharted, or even Mass Effect; Heavy Rain is, for all intents and purposes, an interactive drama.
That factoid is likely enough to alienate a large demographic of core gamers, but that shouldn't dissuade you from playing it. It's a game that follows in the footsteps of stories like Shenmue and Indigo Prophecy and presents an engaging thriller about a mysterious serial killer, and the lengths that some will go to in order to save the ones they love.
