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.
8/10
