(Pros) +Sound effects +Choices that matter +Fluid NPC movements +Lighting +Soundtrack +Multiple outcomes +Atmosphere +Rain
(Cons) -Nerve-wracking voice acting, especially the children's -Cheesy storytelling -Weak story -Full of clichés -Unnecessary scenes -Irrational changes in behavior of some of the characters -Scenes involving children are extremely cheesy and unrealistic -Annoying dialogues -Controls -Generic ending/credits music, which was really disappointing compared to rest of the soundtracks. -Did I mention the voice acting is unbelievably terrible?
In the end, Heavy Rain isn't at all what it pretends to be.
