60+ Endings. 4 characters. One helluva game.

Although Heavy Rain hasn't been released yet, I've seen all I need to see to prove that Heavy Rain is a day-one purchase.
You shape the story. Every action has either a direct or indirect consequence.
Imagine for a minute that you're a police chief. You suddenly decide to drop one case. You get affected because you might be questioned why you did, while a NPC cop might be sad/angry because he was close to solving it.
The graphics look amazing, too. You see every detail, from the way the character's eyes flutter around in their sockets, to the individual weave patterns in a suit, to the cracks and wear of an old building. I even mistook a character for a real life picture. They're that good.
The music in the trailers is excellent, too. Fast paced, thriving tones really capture the theme of the game.
What I'm trying to say is, this game is awesome. You'd be a fool to not get it.
