Heavy Rain Tops the UK All Formats Games Top 40
Psychological crime thriller Heavy Rain has stormed its way to the top of the UK All Formats Top 40 in its first week of release, knocking last week’s newcomer, Aliens Vs Predator, down to the number 2 slot. Quantic Dreams’ long-awaited PS3-exclusive game is, in the words of the developers:
“The place where action gaming meets film-noir head on, in an adventure unlike any other. A game where your mind, emotions and human nature will be put to the test like never before, Heavy Rain takes interactive entertainment down a dark, compelling path rarely ventured in the gaming world.”
Indeed, Heavy Rain has proven to be so popular that MCV is today reporting shortages of the game in UK stores. It’s been heavily advertised on TV in the UK, and has also received incredible scores from some of the biggest games sites in the UK and Europe (Eurogamer – 9/10, IGN – 9/10, Total Video Games 10/10). It really is encouraging to see a genuinely groundbreaking game proving to be so successful both critically and commercially.
