If anybody would like the Demo now then you can get it by doing the 4 days challange thats been going on. http://www.heavyrainps3.com/#/en_GB/experience

I also have one spare now should anyone want it.

I've got the demo, I've not played it yet though. One thing that worries me is the control scheme. If one thing puts me off, I believe that may be it.

I've not played it myself yet. Off to download it now. I enjoyed the controls in Fahrenheit so they dont worry me at all :)

I downloaded the other day and played last night, very impressed and thank the OP for bringing this to my attention. Think its released here on the 26th and will seriously consider purchasing.

Grabbed the demo this morning, and I must say I'm impressed, the control system was a bit fiddly for me at first with my dodgy hands, but I soon got the hang of it. nice character interaction, reminds me of some of the old classic adventure games (which I was a big fan of)

I might have to pop it on my ever increasing buy list. :)

[Tezcatlipoca]

I'm interested, but I think it will be a rental for me.

[Stephen]

Played and loved the demo.

I have ordered the collectors edition from HMV as is same price as the normal version.

[Console_Crazy]

Anyone else got the demo code so I can try it out?Or is it available to download from PSN now? Haven't been on PS3 for a few days.

[cimt]

I'm pretty sure that the demo is available now.

[Console_Crazy]

I'm pretty sure that the demo is available now.

Thanks Cimt, Ill check when I get home ;)

[Graham M]

Downloading the demo now :)

[Graham M]

Looks good, but a bit buggy, hopefully this does not reflect the quality of the final release, also I think they've made the control system a little bit intricate possibly?

[Bluffdemon]

i am well looking foward to playing this , i loved the demo !

[icestar2]

Was surprised to see a dispatch email this morning from HMV. Still will take a couple days but I could have it wednesday or thursday. Cant wait :)

[Graham M]

Picked up my copy this afternoon from Game, like it so far, it's very very pretty, played through the first section, looks like a goodun :)

[Damien]

Grrr temptation to buy PS3 rising...

[Stephen]

I got my special edition copy delivered yesterday from HMV and got up to chapter 3.

Its a really interesting game and gets you really emotionally involved with the characters.

Its also stunning looking.

Never thought I would be playing a game and the first things you do involve taking a shower, brushing his teeth and then shaving!! :) Then going downstairs to eat an olive and drink some orange juice.

[Bluffdemon]

I have it ready to play , cant wait , installed it today but decided to wait until i can give it my full attention lol

Ah bummer I forgot to shave. LoL

[icestar2]

I got it yesterday. Had a little go on it. Looks to be a great game or interactive experience if you will but I expected no less from Quantic Dream.

Didnt play much as I like bluffdemon wanted to save it for when I can really get into it. Plan on giving it a good go a bit later on tonight :)

OMG ! How could you forget to shave :) ;)

[Graham M]

I rarely do in real life, yes, I'm a beardy :p:

[MadGamer]

hope they do a 360 release or is it exclusive to the PS3?

They have been pretty vocal about it being a PS3 exclusive however that being said you can never say never these days.

[Graham M]

Mine says PS3 Exclusive on the box, if the XBox 360ers get their unwashed mits on it I won't be happy :p:

Lol you never know with the pockets M$ have but David Cage does not seem like the kind to cave so easily.

[mertle]

news this game has sold out and there shortages all over the shop.

Played the demo found it a very strange game similar to storyline games we got years ago on the amiga but obviously graffics are jaw droping.

I found it tricky at first get his hand move to knock on doors or get his hand in the pocket. The button system in the alley was tricky to grasp at first kept getting errors and frustrated.

Shame we cant drive to next points although I was going by the demo but you cant have multi changes to storyline and an open world enviroment allowing you to drive everywhere.

That's what they told me in Game. I went to HMV and they told me they had loads of copies in.

how many endings is there just finished it i woun't say anymore but i had the sad ending and im so socked at who it is

[SPARKY MARKY]

How long did it take you to finish the game?

[Bluffdemon]

took me 5 days to finish !

[Damien]

The person is always the same. I had a happy ending. It depends who survives for the most part.

[Graham M]

It can be done in about 8 hours if you run around like a cat on acid - my brother did :p: - me it took a few days as i wasn't sat there with my nose glued to the screen

[SPARKY MARKY]

Ok cool. What would you rate the game out of 10?

[Damien]

8/9

[wwe]

some 1 on facebook said that there 17endings is that true

[Graham M]

that's probably about right

[mSi]

I've been playing this a lot the last few days, Its pretty good, don't quite know if it was worth 40 quid though.

Basicly its a movie with quick time events, you have a small ammount of influence over the story however most important plot elements can't REALLY be changed shame really, this had so much potential but sadly meh.

First time I played this through and found out the killers identity i was really drawn in though, Good game, albiet short and with little replay value.

[cimt]

Little replay value? OK, you can't change who the killer is but each playthrough is certainly different aslong as you don't do all the same decisions.
