Heavy Rain Demo Released on PlayStation 3
by Chris Faylor, Feb 12, 2010 9:20am PSTAs promised, a demo of Quantic Dream's PlayStation 3-exclusive cinematic adventure Heavy Rain is now downloadable through the console's online PlayStation Store, offering up the ability to play the oft-discussed title before its retail debut on February 23.
The demo packs two chapters, introducing players to two of the game's protagonists--FBI agent Norman Jayden and private detective Scott Shelby--both of whom share a professional interest in the so-called "Origami Killer" that's terrorizing the world.
In celebration, published Sony Computer Entertainment unleashed a massive onslaught of fresh media, providing us with some eighty-eight screenshots of the game.

Graphics were good, and voice-acting was stellar so far.
Pre-ordered and looking forward to it.

Pros:
- Graphics/Sound - Very good graphics, the sound was incredible on a 5.1 system with rain coming down all around you. Very good atmosphere to the game.
- Voice acting - Better than I thought it was going to be from the trailers.
- Controls - The controls, while awkward at first are actually pretty usable.
- Story - Well, in the short two sections they included, the story look like it would be compelling.
- Animation - Very well done, very smooth.
Cons:
- Controls - It gets pros/cons. Cons for the learning curve involved and the Wii style up/down movements. The rest of it actually works well.
- Dark - I had to crank the gamma up to see anything in the crime scene.
All in all I am glad that I pre-ordered this game. It looks to be the first real good story-driven adventure game I have seen in a very long time. I love the work Quantic Dreams has done and this looks to be no different. Release date can't come soon enough.
