Heavy Rain "THIS" Close to AA status

I've played the demo. They were smart in putting the F.B.I guy and the Private Detective has the characters for it, cuz obvious they look the most interesting ones to control.
I liked the demo, its looks like a interesting story and the A.R.I. is badass. I'll get it when is half of the price.

Ultimately, Heavy Rain is an experiment that both succeeded and failed, when it could easily have been a total success if the brains behind it weren't trying so hard to be smart, and cared more about providing a sensible plot as opposed to a shocking one.

Visually and aurally it's a decadent feast for the senses, but its frequent descents into ham-fisted schlock and downright broken storytelling ultimately make it a clumsy case of style over substance. It's a likeable mess if you don't think too hard, but nevertheless, a mess it remains.

"Oh, and every single time Ezio performs an important assassination, the camera zooms in close to show his hand completely clipping through his victim's head. So much for impact.

Assassin's Creed 2 has tried all sorts of tactics to improve upon the original, but none of these attempts have worked. The game's variety and length come across as nothing more than smoke and mirrors, the endless, grinding busywork that contributes nothing to the overall gameplay is inexcusably plentiful and mind-numbingly repetitive, and to top it all off, the game can't even compete in the visuals department and somehow looks worse than the original.

There's really no excuse for standards to be so low here. Assassin's Creed 2 is supposedly a triple-A game. It should have acted like one."

Assassins Creed 2 is a Triple A game. Jim Sterling is hard to please!!

BTW DDD, this isnt for arguments sake, its just to show that most of the times Destructiod talk bollox.
