Heavy Rain – Hold SHIFT, SPACE and ESCAPE
In fact, as mocking as the title is, it’s one of the things I think Heavy Rain got right in places. While others are quick to denounce any videogame making use of the hideously coined quick-time-events (QTE), Heavy Rain can at times make a believer out of even the most skeptical gamer.
A fair way into the game, with someone tied up to a chair I’m encouraged to swing the controller to slap my victim across their jaw, I do so with a strange eagerness, and when asked to repeat I start getting my body involved; I want to hurt this guy!
