I hear it's really, really short, no trophies and not worth the $5 or so it costs. I have some PSN money in my wallet I'm dedicating to DLC since if I keep it sitting around I'll just buy more games I won't play... I want this account to have a cleaner list of games/trophies with more platinum's and 100%'s. I have pretty much all the DLC I'll want (Uncharted 2, GTA IV, LittleBigPlanet, etc), so I'm not entirely opposed to the idea of trying The Taxidermist.

I enjoy the idea of owning only a handful of games that I play through completely, DLC and all.

Any good things to be said about this DLC though? If no one around here has it, maybe I'll just try it for myself and report back with my impressions. I love Heavy Rain, so I'm sure I won't be horribly disappointed... though $5 for 5-10 minutes of gameplay (or so I hear) is pretty weak.

If you love Heavy Rain you'll like this one. It's an interesting little prequel.

However, it is short and around 10-15 mins is an accurate time frame for one run through. Shorter when you know what to do, but there are 6 different endings to achieve and there are no trophies for it.

I personally don't regret getting it, but it was free cause I preordered Heavy Rain. Would I have paid for it? Yes cause I love Heavy Rain and I don't think I would've been disappointed for paying for it. I hope this helps your decision

It is indeed short, but there is something like 6 different endings, and many different ways to go about the actual story. It's nerve-racking at some points, in a good way. Like hiding under a table, your heart pounding, hoping the guy doesn't find you. Aspernatio is right, if you liked Heavy Rain, you will deff like The Taxidermist.

I have it, and it's one of the most gruesome levels of Heavy Rain you'll see.

I enjoyed it.

I have to agree, it was well worth playing and yeah my heart was pounding while hiding under the bed, the only downside was that it was very short.

I do hope that QD go back to this game and give us the DLC they had been planing
