I finished my first play through yesterday. I give it 9/10. Overall I liked Heavy Rain a bit more, but it's very very beautiful, it has a little more action but much better pacing, I loved the non-linear order, some scenes are outstanding and better than anything that was in HR (no spoilers). On the bad side, there was a large part of the story and themes that I thought were disagreeable and conflicting with my views. Up to the point where I stopped caring about most of the characters toward the end.... I was continuously fighting against the grain, and most of the choices were forced in the opposite direction. but it still deserves 9/10, because disagreeing with some fundamental themes doesn't allow me to criticize the game itself. The creators obviously believed in it, and I want more of that rare kind of game, where they have something to express. I'll play another game with different paths, see what happens.
? But yeah I like some of the story segments which much like HR, conveyed genuine emotion to me. The reverse chronological narrative is interesting but can get a bit confusing at times though. Either way I'm hooked to this game more than any others right now.
