1UP: Flower Review

1UP writes:

"The game is wholly enjoyable from start to finish. I even found myself replaying some of the previous levels just to let my petals waft in the air, my controller sitting untouched on the desk while I worked. The game's short -- the seven areas only take about two to three hours to finish on the first try (if you don't play it obsessively like I do). But it's a joy to revisit each stage -- the freedom of movement makes the game feel as relaxing as a gently wafting breeze. The challenge is there for those who seek it, but Flower is something everyone can enjoy."

can't wait to get this game.
been interested in it since it was first revealed.

[MasFlowKiller]

i have the worlds first complement to Sixaxis in a game:

"The Sixaxis control is wonderfully fuss-free. At no time did I feel like I had to fight the controls. And honestly, while in the midst of a level, I hardly thought about the lump of plastic in my hands"

[meepmoopmeep]

that's awesome, i'm glad the put it to good use.

Sixaxis can be really cool depending how developers incorporate it into their games.

[Cwalat]

Will buy it first day,

this is the only studio i support no matter what game they release.

[meepmoopmeep]

uhh.. what about Q-Games/Pixel Junk?

i found their games have been awesome
can't wait to see what they've got in store next

[Lifendz]

hope there's a demo. Would love to pick it up but between school and KZ2, SF4, and gamefly games (Prince of Persia at the moment), I simply have no time. Darn you Sony for having so many games!!!

Oh yeah, great score btw. PSN really has some quality games available for purchase.

[SRU9600]

Will a demo be available, or will it be like 98% of the other PSN titles and not have a demo? : /

No demo = no purchase for me.

[Maddens Raiders]

Day one.

[mrdxpr2]

this is a good game but i need a demo to see if the gamplay is worth it... one of the games ive been waiting since anounced is eyepet :: but still nothing....but this review is good for flower jsut have to wait

[hay]

I was sure I buy it. Now I'm even "surer".

[na2ru1]

hmm?

[Danja]

nice was always planning on getting this game ne ways , good top see devs still using the six-axis ...welcome change

[FireJackal]

Yea me too =]
The game just fells so natural and relaxing.
One thing that would be great if they put in the game is custom sound track.
Anyway this game is going to be awesome.

[WhittO]

Wow this is a really high score for just a PSN game!!

Higher than most "normal" games haha.

Yep im buying this game, i dont get when people have problems with the sixaxis controls and why developers always say its a gimmik, its there to be used as an additional option, how can it in anyway be a negative!!

[she00win99]

wow! what happen to 1up these days, did they hit there heads or something? first the gave killzone an "A" now, flower?

[meepmoopmeep]

maybe it was the layoffs.
i thought they were closing down.

[baraka007]

I wasn't expecting this game to score well... but with kz2 sf4 fear2 RE5 im going to be out of time for a minute... maybe by summer i'll be able to check it out.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I really want this game!

[Sir Ken_Kutaragi]

Sounds cooooool;) I love all these Quality Games SONY are giving me;)

[Jandre02]

Of course I'm not gunna let any of my boys know I'm playing the game though. :-D

[lescailloux]

lol don't be ashamed, i bet you anything they'll wanna give it a try :P

[Imallvol7]

Man . . . PSN games continue to kill it.

[ToastyMcNibbles]

at this rate sony could put the retail industry outta business with the quality psn titles they pump out lol okay maybe im exaggerating but anyways cant wait this week is gonna be nice... fear 2, flower and qore <-- lame i know lol but if you purchase this months episode you get a voucher code for the original syphon filter ps1 game and i already purchased syphon filter 3 so hey why not

[Clap Your Hands]

The game sounds amazing.

People should actually read Joysticks review. Its better written then 1UP's (in my personal opinion).

Also Totalplaystation has made a very nice review of Flower:

that 1up no longer hates the ps3? finally a site that i can go on and talk good about it (doesnt mean i hate the 360) oh well, this isnt my type of game

happy gaming!!!

uncharted2 ftw!!!

[SRU9600]

"so can we saye
that 1up no longer hates the ps3?"

Don't be fooled, my PS3 loving friend.
It's all part of Microsoft's master plan. They are playing with your mind, twisting your thoughts (and stealing your console's exclusives while you aren't looking...)

[poeo]

wow, so it's actually a good game and not just a gimmick? i'm sold. i love unique games like this.

and Flower will complement KZ2 nicely :) (there are flowers on Helghan too though, if you look closely! haha)

edit: IGN gave it a 9,0, yay.

[gaffyh]

only 3 hours long?!!!.... they better not over charge for it...anything over £4.99 is too much, and they won't get anything from me for that.

I like the look of the game, and the controls look like fun...but why so short...and no replayability? why?...that makes no sense

[TenSteps]

I'ts neither competitive with others nor is it competitive with yourself it's a game where you relax your eyes

Come to the world of Zen Gaming where peace and beauty is the idea and allow your eyes to relax on the beauty and feel the peacefulness it gives out.

[Traveler]

Looks really unique and fun. I love Sony's first-party games.

[Traveler]

It's for innovative and unique games like this that I respect Sony's first-party output so much.

I love Pixel Junk Eden and many of the other PSN titles, and I can tell that this game will be right up my alley as well.

[ReTarDedFisHy]

nice score.
