So therefor isn't it safe to say that if there's one genre Heavy Rain leans most towards to it'd be the adventure genre?
If the ag concept*that ambiguous for you could you explain why Uncharted 3 is not an ag ?

(An adventure game is a video game in which the player assumes the role of protagonist in an interactive story driven by exploration and puzzle-solving instead of physical challenge.*)
