This means a North American release date will likely be around the same time for those wondering.
To quote: "Multiple Japanese retailers, including Amazon, report Heavy Rain is scheduled for February 18.
Instead of dialing combos, players activate context sensitive commands that are sort of like rapid fire quick time events. Norman can die during the fight and if he does the story continues with another character.
http://gmstar.com/ps3/heavyrain.html's product description says the twists and turns lead to over twenty endings."
