  Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne, now in charge of Unique Features, are reportedly interested in transforming the interactive cinema experience into plain ol' cinema.

  The thing is... we weren't sold on the actual story presented in Heavy Rain. Take the imaginitive gameplay elements away and you're left with a rather plain and disjointed tale that could be found on any rental shelf in the country. As with any game-to-movie adaptation there will undoubtedly be changes, and in this case we'd love to see some of the nonsensical aspects of the story tightened up.

  True, most other game movies are based on stories that barely had enough meat to sustain a commercial, let alone 90 minutes of film. But in this case, Heavy Rain is a game praised by many for its storytelling, and we're not 100% in that camp. (It's a perfectly good game!)

  What say you, internet?
