I finished the game yesterday. My all impression is the same I had

I would no recommend the game though to particularly sensitive people since it is very depressing.

I could not complete the driving at all, I am used to driving vehicles in games including against time but it is always as in this world stirring the car but not having to worry about pressing other buttons. I realized that since I was too far from reaching the goal I wouldn't be able to make it even if I "cheated" and restarted the chapter. Even when I knew the game would carry on no matter how I did in the trials I almost gave up playing it. I had heard it was a game of choices but if couldn't do what I wanted to do it meant I was not really making choices but my fingers did

I decided to give it one more chance and I am glad I did. That trial was far worse for me than the rest of the game. Later on I pressed the wrong buttons and one character died, but even when I left it this way I knew I could make it if I decided to replay the game for a different ending.

To be able to be ready for the sequences I had to miss a lot of the action itself though , but I managed to save all the other characters and reach a "good" ending.

The game freezed more than once but I could go from the same point even when having to quit and go out sometimes.

I found also some inconsistencies but to point them it would be too big spoiler. Maybe someone opens a BIG SPOILER post where there could be open discussions about the endings.

MCC, feel free to start one--just put Big Spoilers in the title so folks don't learn more than they want to know

I noted the dark tone, too, in an earlier post, but I wouldn't want people to think it's all dreary and dismal. It's designed to provoke a whole range of responses from you; there are some moments of happy relief, too, when things actually go well. But, yes, definitely, anyone who doesn't enjoy having their emotions tested by their games should steer clear!

You know, it's funny. I had no problems with Heavy Rain's controls, but there's a similar quick time event sequence in the new Resident Evil 5 DLC where you have to play the piano - don't ask - which annoyed me to no end at first - and it required only two possible buttons! Talk about irony.

There are a few genuine plot holes, unfortunately, mostly minor; but others do have plausible explanations, they just aren't explicitly mentioned in the game.

I had problems for a while, when I bought the PS3 a year ago, with the right stick of the controller with the cursor flying all over the place , fortunately this didn't last.

Many games require pressing buttons in a quick response, but in this one at times I though I would need an extra hand

I played Resident Evil 5 and loved it. Do you download the DLC from the PS3? I haven't played it.

PlayStation has been my console of choice for as long as they've been around, so I don't know what it was about that sequence. In HR the quick time events felt appropriate, though I can't say why; but lazy developers clumsily tossing them into their games left and right, for the sake of it, is getting old.

I miss the old style of survival horror - evade, conserve, survive! - but as an action game RE5 is great.

Yep, it's all done from the console. I'll shoot you a PM as I fear I've gotten us a tad off-topic.

I'm still disappointed this was not also made for the PC. I loved Fahrenheit and would have liked to see how this turned out.

Thaks Feeb88, I am not in a hurry since I'll be out of town and out of PS3 for about 10 days. I should be able to find the way to download it from the PS Store anyway.
