Is Heavy Rain A Day One Purchase?

There are a lot of reasons why I'm excited about next week's release of Heavy Rain on the PS3. For starters, Mark and I had a great time playing (well, he played and I watched) Indigo Prophecy, the developer's previous game, waaay back in 2005. And from what I've seen, this game is going to look fantastic, and it's already getting great reviews. Also, I'm a big fan of story-based adventures, and the consequence system of Heavy Rain looks to be both frustrating and fun.

However, I'm just not sure if I'll be buying it on day one. I've got such a big list of games to finish that I feel like I should get my money out of them before I move on. I think the problem lies in the fact that there's no big urgency to get this game - I've been waiting years to play it, what's another month or two?

Definite must-play, but not a day one buy. This game will be enjoyed at $40 (or less) a few months from now just as much as it will be enjoyed at $60 on day one.

I've purposely cleared my gaming schedule to make room for this game, so it will be a day 1 purchase for me. Even if I did have other games to play, I would probably bump this up to the top of the list. Perhaps you're enjoying Wolverine a little too much?

I really disliked Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy) so was prepared to let this game slip by. The demo has piqued my interest a little, but I just don't trust Quantic Dreams to deliver a game worth the full asking price. A definite rental, or bargain-bin pickup for me.
