I would stress that in the Heavy Rain system the actions you perform mirrored the movements of the on screen character and had real consequences to the storyline. - i.e real innovation.

Jurassic park had the old dragons lair success or dead system where the on screen prompts were basic direction arrows and had absolutely no bearing on the story whatsoever. - i.e a barely interactive QTE like we have seen in a million games before
