Apparently Heavy Rain is Good?

The review quotes for upcoming Playstation 3 title, Heavy Rain over at Metacritic are really reeling me in. Some choice examples:

“Heavy Rain is an inspiration board of editorials waiting to be written. It is entertaining without being “fun” and explores the assumptions players make as a spectator and a participant, the extent at which literary drama can interconnect with games, and the uncharted space far beyond mainstream gaming…Even if you come to oppose everything it stands for – and understandably so – Heavy Rain needs to be played.”

“For those of you who can open your minds to the possibility of something genuinely new, this is mana from heaven. Heavy Rain is one of the most exciting things to happen to video games for a long, long time.”

“It may also be the only game you play this year where pulling the trigger makes you really feel something, and I can think of no greater compliment.”

“One of the most emotional experiences I’ve ever had playing a videogame.”

“I have never played anything so momentous or revolutionary as Heavy Rain.”
