I think I'm about halfway through Heavy Rain, and I just want to make some real quick observations.
First and foremost, I don't have any issues with the voice actors' accents. They don't sound 100% localized but I don't think it disrupts the gaming experience in any way. I definitely hear a mishmash of accents and styles, but I think they are mostly fitting. The lip syncing is definitely off, and it's a little distracting. Also, the least impressive part of this entire game are the characters' oddly disturbing hands.
The gameplay keeps me on the edge of my seat at all times; although most of the game tends to be cutscenes, this isn't like playing Metal Gear Solid - you play a directing role in each scene. There's only been a few moments in the several hours I've spent with the game where I've felt like the controls were gimmicky. For the most part, they serve a purpose and are intuitive.
I also can't wait to replay some of these scenes. Nearly every trophy is secret, and you can get trophies for some very random things. I think I'll have a lot of fun going back and trying to get more of them.
