Heavy Rain combines exploration, dialogue and dramatic action scenes with a powerful and compelling narrative. Taking control of four different characters, each with distinctive backgrounds and motivations, you will take part in the race against time to find a killer.

As you play the game, your actions and choices will have a tangible impact on the fates of these characters, and the way that the plot unfolds. Your every decision can have significant and unforeseen consequences - making the gameplay experience uniquely dramatic and engrossing. To take an extreme example - if one of your characters dies during the game due to your actions, it isn't 'Game Over'. Instead, the plot continues using the other characters, and that character's death becomes part of the story - influencing the attitudes of other characters, and affecting what leads and paths can be taken.

Heavy Rain is a game that focuses on drama and emotional response, not violence and repetition; on making difficult decisions in the heat of the moment, and dealing with the consequences...

Description From Wikipedia: "Transformers: War for Cybertron is a third-person shooter video game developed by High Moon Studios and published by Activision. Transformers: War for Cybertron is a third person shooter that takes place ..."  expand → Transformers: War for Cybertron (PS3)

Transformers: War for Cybertron is a third-person shooter video game developed by High Moon Studios and published by Activision. Transformers: War for Cybertron is a third person shooter that takes place prior to the original Transformers animated series, when the Transformers still lived on the fictional machine planet Cybertron. The game has two distinct campaigns, one for each faction. The story of the Decepticon campaign is a prelude to the Autobot campaign's story. Both campaigns can be played in single-player or cooperatively via online multiplayer, and can drop in or out of the game at any time. Each campaign level features three playable Transformers. If fewer than three players are present, the game's AI controls the remaining playable characters. War for Cybertron has several multiplayer modes to choose from. "Escalation" is a mode for exclusive pre-order characters and characters unlocked during the campaign. Non-stop waves of robots attack until the player(s) are defeated, similar to Gears of War "Horde" mode. Players are also able to spend points earned from defeated enemies on health, ammo, new weapons and unlocking new areas in the map. "Deathmatch" is a free-for-all game type where the player with the most kills at the end of the game is the winner. In "Team Deathmatch" players are divided into Autobot and Decepticon teams. The winning team is the one who earns the most kills. "Conquest" is a capture-and-hold style game, similar to the conquest mode found in the Star Wars Battlefront series. In "Countdown to Extinction" players must take an active bomb and place it at an enemy base, similar to the Assault mode in the Halo series. "Power Struggle" is the game's equivalent to the common Capture the Flag game type. Finally "Code of Power" is a mode consisting of two and a half minute rounds where teams vie for a giant melee weapon.

The well-realized license in this third-person shooter can hide the myriad problems for only so long.

 

GiantBomb 6.0            

War For Cybertron might be the best Transformers game ever made... but that isn't exactly a high bar to best.
