Really great sales. Way more than I thought. I thought it'd do this much lifetime and that'd be considered a success. Wow!

@Rawnchie and Raptor It's not that surprising that it sold more in others. Europe has the exclusive special edition and console bundle. Plus it's a European dev and was more heavily advertised over there. This game is absolutely amazing. I think I might pick up the soundtrack.

Great experience so far, its different but very enjoyable and at times quit intense, its not for everyone, its like your stuck in a movie, and you are playing many characters and determining how the movie unfolds as your playing and watching, different but a very neat experience, try it out.

Seriously, HEAVY RAIN is the most hauntng, moving, beautiful, and memorable game I've possibly ever played. Like others have mentioned, I can't get it out of my thoughts. It makes me sad knowing I'll never experience it for the first time again! I've never felt this way about a game... NEVER. It makes ever other game I've been trying to play seem bland and fogettable.

Seriously, buy or atleast play this masterpiece. Absoltely unforgettable.

Bought this game on the 23rd and played it for 7 hours straight. Couldn't put it down. Great story, I got one of the bad endings but it was my own fault. This is truly a must buy game. Do not judge it by the demo. The demo is in the beginning which is admittedly slow. Its needed however, to build up the amazing story. Buy this game

I bought it after playing the demo. Although the demo froze at one point (I had to do a hard reset of PS3) I still think this is one of the BEST games ever made (based on my demo experience). If they can use the same engine to make some other games (e.g. CSI type games) I am sure they can make a ton of money.

Damn in the latest videos the graphics have been dumbed down a whole lot, the game now looks pretty generic. The graphics look like they turned the settings to medium on a pc game, eveything is down a notch, textures, lighting, polygon count. I have to wonder what problems they had with the game that they had to lower the graphics bar by this much in the final months before release.
