Flower Reviews

Flower is quite possibly one of the most unique games I've played and it's different from what every other game has to offer. ThatGameCompany do have a excellent creative team when they come to developing games.

Throughout this game it pretty much tells the motions of the developers with it's style and passion for the world and flowers. The gameplay is very simple you go around this dead you control the wind and you collect flower petals which the flowers bloom and makes the world more brighter. You use your sixaxis controller and this is just one those games which really works well with the motion sensors and not many games do work well with Sixaxis. Controlling wind an flower is easy you move your controller around and press any button on the controller to blow the wind anyone can really play this game and you can play it at your own pace.

I don't want to go into a lot of detail because this something worth experiencing and giving you more spoilers I think will spoil the experience it's something you have to play yourself. The music is really nice and it fits the game really well.

The only bad point I can really say about flower is it can be finished in about an hour up to 2 hours but I think it does have replay value I've found myself playing through it again. Trophies are also in this game. I managed to pick up Flower for £2.39 as Playstation Store UK/EU had reduced the price for a week because of it's 1st anniversary make sure you download it before the 18th of February at this price it's a steal. Now all I can say is I'm looking forward to what ever ThatGameCompany produce next.

Pros
- Great Detail
- Sixaxis works well
- Good music

Cons
- Very short.

I liked the original flOw flash game and when I heard that they were going to make a HD version of it for the PS3 I was thrilled to see the company succeed. Now from ThatGameCompany comes Flower which feels a little bit like flOw but still feels like it's own game.

Players take the role of a gust of wind which allows them to flow around picking up flower petals which causes the levels fields to bloom into color.

Controls are very easy to understand. The wind is direction is controlled by the PlayStation 3's Sixaxis motion controller and any button pressed makes the gust go faster.
With uncomplicated levels, Flower is a gorgeous sight to see as flowers and grass are vibrantly colored and wonderfully move life like with the wind.
Another bonus is the games sound design. Kind of like Rez were there is background music and shooting causes beats to accrue Flower has a beautiful background soundtrack and blooming flowers cause single notes to sound off adding to the music.

One of the only downsides to the game is that it is short and can be finished in one sitting, for the price and experience Flower is a great game that I would recommend to anyone wanting to try something new.
