      Only 3 Weeks to go!
      Unless I get "teh hook up!!" from the aforementioned Cuber I won't be able to anyway, that site is DEAD at the moment.

        The site seems OK now, it was a touch slow but it only took a few minutes get the code.

          Was at 600meg/30% when I checked 30 minutes ago.

          I'm weak and you are all perverts.

                Wow.

                Wished I'd trusted my instincts that I knew this would be fried gold but not unhappy I played the demo.

                Wow.

                Visually, what needs to be said, it's insanely good looking.

                However, I was NOT prepared for the

                fight scene

                , I...I can't believe how visceral it felt when I "slammed" the dualshock down! I've never seen a scene in a game handled like that, normally it'd be a 10 second bit, but this felt real, it felt filmic, it felt...real!

                The crime scene, I can't explain why it was so damn cool drinking a cup of coffee, I can't explain why I thought it was ****ing fantastic climbing the hill.

                Even the damn tutorial, getting

                past the dumpster

                was a "wow" moment for me.

                This was my most wanted of the year and the demo confirmed I was just in feeling that way.

                I experienced some slight screen tearing in the final area of the tutorial, but given the level of quality and polish everywhere else, and given that frame rates etc are the last thing to get nailed down, I'd confident that'll be fixed, but not the end of the world if it doesn't.

                    site is working again now.

                    definitely worth a download this. i loved Fahrenheit and this is similar.

                    ive got forza 3, uncharted 2, and baynoetta still to play and now this comes along. ahhh!

                      Yes.

                      It is.

                        I agree with all of this, I'm a sucker for cinematic games (Parasite Eve 1 is high on my list, as is D2 for the Dreamcast and I also dig Heavenly Sword) and even QTE's. Heavy Rain is a dream come true. It looks damn fricking amazing, really, its a damned sight to behold. The QTE's rock, and the Sixaxis usage make them even better (yes, I think this is one of those few games that justifies sixaxis). Therefore, this wouldn't be the same on an Xbox or so.

                        I can see some more mainstream oriented sites slam this game down a bit as HR seems to be a tad slow and the controls are clunky for a lot of gamers out there. The climbing part... I loved it. I was as exhausted as the character must've been, well not really ofcourse. We 'get' this gameplay, but a lot of out there won't i'm afraid. I don't care though. Heavy Rain is higher on my list than FFXIII right now.

                        Holding R2 to walk isn't clunky to me, its done so that LS alone will let you look around at the environment while RS initiates context sensitive things.

                        Gripe? The VA isn't up to par with the absolute best.

                          Wow! this wasn't really on my radar but I'm really impressed. It just feels really filmic and the unusual contorl method works much better than i imagined it would. Looks amazing too. Bumped up to a day one purchase for me.

                            Holding R2 to walk is a stroke of genius. It means you can change the camera to all sorts of angles with L1 and your character will always be walking the right way.

                            I agree with Saturn-Gamer though, that climbing was amazing. Coming back down was hilarious as well.

                            Having just come from Mass Effect 2 I knew anything I played next would have to be special, but I'm clamouring for this game now, it cannot come soon enough.

                            Oh and how nice is it to be playing a game where there are no explosions going off and you aren't running everywhere, yet it is still "mature" and full of everything that makes for a good experience.

                              Just played the demo for the irst time, after helping people get their copy. It is amazing. Its just that you dont know whats going on. Like, what questions to really ask, because they may be linked to the story, and you have no idea whats going on. But it is an amazing game, and i cant wait for my collectors edition. Should be amazing.

                              Oh and if anybody needs help or whatever (i dont know if the sites up or down or whatever) just send a PM.

                                Managed to register and complete the evidence game, but now it's just hanging there. Hasn't loaded anything else in for at least five minutes. Think I might have to ask for a PM or a code or whatever you're handing out too, Cuber.

                                EDIT: No, strike that, it's gone through this time. Let's give this a shot.
