    OMG just finished this today, who saw this end coming? not me thats for sure!

    Am not gonna post any spoilers for those of you that havent played/finished it but basically I was gobsmacked by the ending I acheived... Gonna have another play through just to see if Ican affect the outcome and see weather or not I can change thigs dramatically but otherwise what a cool game!

    What do you guys think?

    Double post of thread due to wierd internet connection, sorry!

    I don't have a PS3 to play this game but I heard the game has 25 different endings. I saw one of the endings on youtube and it was pretty sad :eek:

    I think the ending count is 23 but im not sure how much this strays from the main game... Whatever it is a very special game as far as production values are concerned, I have a PS3, 360 and WII and havent enjoyed a game this much in ages, perhaps I should invest more time in Mass Effect 2 which I bought ages ago and never really got in to, or even New Super Mario Bros which again ive only scraped the suface of... One thing is for sure though, even though I know the identity of the origami killer, I will be taking a return trip to try and get a different final outcome...

    Australia, mate!
    I wouldn't classify this as a game.

    I have it, haven't tried it yet though. Still playing through Persona 4 on the PS3 and I'll probably play Indigo Prophecy before I dig into Heavy Rain.

    Neither would I. I'd class it as "entertainment", and I don't pay £40-50 for anything other than games. When it goes down in price I might pick it up.

    Entertainment... so, why do you play games again?

    Interaction! There's a bit in Heavy Rain, but to me it's still leaning more to the side of watching someone else do something rather than doing it myself. I'm not saying it's a bad, it's just not enough of a game for me to be interested in. I'd like to give it a go when it gets closer to the price of a movie.

    I just beat this. Kind of short but a great game. Yes it plays out like an interactive movie, but the game has such a good theme and story that I didn't mind so much. Its one of those games thats so unique and well put together that its a must for people to at least give it a try, you'll probably get hooked on the story at minimum. So, I felt it was worth it overall and will keep it instead of trading it in. The game probably doesn't have much replay value, I hear there are about 10 or more different endings in the game depending on your actions and decisions throughout, but I feel I got a satisfactory enough ending. I may go back and play the game again down the road(a few months from now) but don't have any incentive to play it again right away. So the replay value isn't really there, at least not immediately but there are different endings to think about seeing in the future.

    So, a real cool game unlike any other and its deep in story, with plenty of twists and turns like a good mystery game should have. Definitely a keeper to me even if I don't play it again for a while.

    On to God of War 3.
