Really? I didn't know that was even possible.

Yup, it's possible, at least when I did it. I don't know how I got there though. I beat up mad jack with jayden and knocked him to the barrels, then shot at him to scare him a bit. After that jayden started his dizzy spell but I got a QTE that allowed him to take some tripto and recover, allowing jayden to arrest mad jack

I just finished the game last night and...

END GAME SPOILERS

Spoiler

I totally blew it. I have received the dubious bronze trophy "So Close.." for being the only dope to get all 4 of the main characters to the end-game alive and still have an unhappy ending. I lost Jayden during the last fight with Shelby. Jeez, what an awful way to die.

Ethan did manage to save Shaun, but then the idiot wound up getting shot by the cops. If only I hadn't messed up the scene with Madison and the motorcycle before it. Coulda, woulda, shoulda.

I gotta say that I didn't expect the killer to be Shelby. That kind of threw me for a loop. But the way Lauren handled her business at the end... that was a sweet way to end the story. For those of you that let Lauren die in the car... DON'T. She is the insurance policy. If you mess up and don't kill Shelby, Lauren will make sure justice is served.

I absolutely loved this game. I'll pick up The Show 10 tonight and play it for a while and then head back to Heavy Rain. I gotta kind of come back into the game fresh so I don't feel like I am forcing myself to make bad choices just to see a different ending.

I just picked up the game Sunday. Couldn't play it until last night. (Damn you, PS3 internal clock/calendar!!!!) I have to say that this is one of the best games I've played in the last 15 years. I found myself smiling lovingly at my TV several times as Ethan and Shaun played in the park. It's incredible how Quantic Dream draws you into the game emotionally and so quickly. This may seem a little like hyperbole, but this game is beyond gaming. It's the evolution of gaming.

Agreed. I love this game! I'm gonna take a break, because like the poster above said, I'm making bad choices just to see how things turn out.

Demo Review:

I just played the demo and disliked it. I'm a button masher, and I'll tell you, I disliked being forced to nail down the series of 2 different patters of buttons of holding and releasing buttons 2 at a time, in proper sequence, just to climb a muddy hill. That took a long while to nail down.

Secondly, I could not crouch or run - I didn't like the absence of these common movements.

Graphics were amazing.

The fight sequence where they tell you to mash a button really quick and then another and another very quickly was too fast. Just make designated buttons and let me do the moves, you know?

For these reasons, and not just the nudity alone, I can't bring myself to pay for this game. I really tried.

DAMN!!!

Re: Heavy Rain (PS3)

lol ... actually you can get up to four per game, though. So it's not like you have to finish the game 18 times, more like 6-8, to see all the endings.

Oh, okay. LOL. I'm on my second playthrough right now and I was like, "I don't know about beating the game 18 times." I can manage 6-8. It's definitely worth it to see all the endings.

18 different endings?

Whoa...Now I know if I like this game it'll have replayability for me!

First of all, yeah man, some of the endings are way awesome. They deserve to be seen. Second, yeah plus you don't have to play from the beginning, you can just start at certain scenes ... not sure how much more I should say about that ... point is, getting the different endings only requires you change a couple things here and there, not a full playthrough.

Yeah it's definitely pretty amazing in terms of how different your various playthroughs will be. Quality game for sure.
