Played the demo.

its not bad per se but its hard to get into... I feel like there is too much story context to follow that you need to be invested if you want to play.

but im not sure if I want to buy it tbh.

But the action QTE system, is for the most part, is very easy to follow. Works quite well.

Ouch...

Everyone knew what this game was gonna be like so I honestly cant take people seriously when they're critiquing the "gameplay"

Heavy Rain was enough of an example to give people any idea of what this was going to be like.

I think if you want a story driven experience and have involved choices within the story that can have different outcomes then go for this.

IGN 6/10


Gamespot 9/10


Very mixed reviews!!
This is gana be the kind of game you have to play for your self! & you will either hate or love it!
Me, i cant wait to play it!!

Guys, look you either loved Heavy Rain or strongly disliked it. This will have the same reviews and outcome.

The sheer production quality of this game alone makes it worth the purchase - The soundtrack, the INCREDIBLE visuals and yes, the story, which I am really enjoying. The game's theme and gameplay sits somewhere between Heavy rain and Fahrenheit, leaning towards the supernatural.

The biggest issue this game has is that its stuck between two mediums - being a game and being a movie. That now puts the reviewers in a tough spot as you either Like / dislike it as either medium and do you review it as a game or a movie?

Personally, I love it. In fact there are times in this GAME that I go, holy crap, this is awesome!! I almost wish that some of my favorite movies were re-made this was way as you genuinely feel like you are starring in this AAA blockbuster and feel a greater attachment to the character and story than you would in a movie because you actually guide the outcome and craft the story to how you would react in those scenarios.

9/10.

^^ So in short, it's Arnold Schawrzenegger in Predator (Heavy Rain) and then Arnold Schawrzenegger in Terminator (Beyond 2 Souls), same[censored], different scenario?

*If so, then this will be a cool game for me! I didn't love Heavy Rain, but I liked it, so I'm sure I'll like this as well

Pretty much hey. Whats interesting, and we are discussing this in the shop, are the variances we have each had in the story just from small decision we made that were different. So far everyone in the store loves it as well

A lot of the negative reviews out there seem to be gunning for David Cage, which is weird, cause 60% of the review is about him, the the 40 % is about how the game is actually good.

Anyway, its a definite must buy if you want to, like heavy rain's gameplay experience, play a game that is truly unique.

I'll probably get it once I'm done with KH

I loved Heavy Rain so assuming I'll enjoy this as well. Will pick it up in the near future.

You guys must see some of the graphical effects in the game - seriously close to next gen stuff!

Played for about 2 hours yesterday.

Game looks incredible, really is a jump from Heavy Rain.
Enjoyed supernatural "power" if you'd call it that, very interesting element.
Opening scenes grabbed me as well!

Have got annoyed with the QTE's where it's not exactly clear where you meant to be directing your response but not game killing.

Look forward to seeing where the game ends up

Wow, I am loving this game. Spent about 6 hours on it last night and the only reason that I stopped was because the game froze on me else I would have probably kept on playing into the early morning.

The story is really engrossing. I love when you are provided back story from the past as it builds the characters more. The game jumps around to different points in the story and its up to you to interpret what might of happened in between these points until you are giving that bit of the story.

Although the game might seem linear to some, going from what Heavy Rain has shown us your choices matter and I am already seeing how my interaction with people might have influenced how they treat the main character. I am really looking forward to seeing what sort if ending I get!

I actually like this QTE system a lot. In the sequences that are fast paced it looks to the user more for their intuition on what to do next and you are only give a slight indication that its a QTE. To me that is great since it doesn't take you out of the gameplay/story by having symbols popping up in your face all the time.

And man oh man the graphics blow you away! The lighting is amazing and there were a few sections where I was completely taken aback and thought the scene looked more like a photo. I have to be honest that I haven't noticed the music much in this. Not that taht is a bad thing. If its seamlessly added to the game where you don't even notice it but it's doing its job conveying the mood then it's still great.

My only only only complaint with this game are the long pauses when it is loading in the middle of a sequence. It is really distracting as the game is so immersive and the pauses take you out of that. The above mentioned system freeze that ending my session was also not great. Has anyone else had pauses or freezes? It could be my console is showing its age and the laser is not great anymore... It is really disappointing if others are experiencing these since this is a ps3 exclusive.

@ Corr, hasnt frozen on me but im playing with the slim console, not the old phatty PS3 like yours. I have had pauses during the action scenes but not more than maybe 2/3 secs? (that little loading / save icon pops up at the bottom. I was wondering if it's like a check point system after a decision or action was done?

Got to another section last night OMFG - it was cool!

Damn...you guys are really making me want this game....sounds pretty awesome!

@Tea Yea I thought it was cos of my old fat ps3. She has kept strong all these years though

Can't wait to finish this so I can talk about the game with others that have finished it. I really want to see what difference the choices you made have on the game.

Finished this last night! What a great game! Loved it!! Cant wait to chat to people and see which ending they ended up getting

People that scored this below 8/10 need a swift kick to the nuts.

@Corr No freezing on my side.
There is a VERY long load every time you start up the game, like 2mins long! I thought the game had frozen!! GTAV has a 1min load, but its a BIG game!
& like Tea said theres that little pause some times when the game is saving!

@Tea How those jockstraps could score this game below 8/10 is just ridicules to me!!!

What an absolutely brilliant game!!! I never played Heavy Rain, but now i want to!!!
Game looks great & plays great! & there are some freaky moments that take place as well!!

I'm scared i'm gana give away spoilers! So if you are playing the game, highlight below! I have not finished the game yet!!

SPOILERS!!

When you are in that testing room, with the flash cards! & you start moving stuff around & you FREAK that women OUT!!!! I was laughing my ass off, but then you get carried away & realize you are hurting Jodie! Then you feel sorry for her & want to protect her!
& that party, thoses kids deserved it!! IF you chose revenge! I knocked over a candle, & was about to set the house on fire!!! When Jodie told me to stop! & i did, did you guys???
I have played a LOT of games!! But this is the FIRST time i have EVER had to deliver a baby in a game before!!!!!!!!! I was worried how far they where gana take it for a bit LOL <---thats a nervous LOL
I look at the game like this so far. YOU are the poltergeist thats haunting/protecting Jodie! Cause you go into fp view, when you are Aden! & you can float around freely, but some times you get a bit TOO carried away! & thats when Jodie steps in, & you dont want to hurt her or get her into trouble!

@ knight - you are in for a real treat with Heavy Rain - one of my Favorite games of all time!

Will chat about the ending when you complete the game - I did a few of the things differently to you so will be interetsting to see your story outcome... !bm

@Tea Do you know how many endings there are?
