GamePro: Flower Review

Movie critic Roger Ebert gained infamy for his "video games are not art" statement. Well, someone needs to hook him up with a copy of the newly released PSN title Flower, and force feed the unkindly critic his own words. Masterful controls and the perfect mix of music and color combine to make an interactive experience that's not only creative and unique, but takes players on an emotive journey. If you're looking for an example of art in video game form, Flower is it.

what is flower? I haven't been following on my games library lately

Edit: Now I know. Hmmm this looks to be very good. I like how sony is making good use of its sixaxis.

Another AAA title for the PS3. I don't care if it doesn't have a 90+ score. Day 1... :)

[N4Sony]

This should sell a good 300-400k PS3s this Thursday. I heard Patcher is predicting Wii December 2008 numbers in North America for PS3 just based on this title alone, then imagine what Killzone 2 will do for it! Another 2-3 million in the last few days of the month is my prediction.

[BkaY]

thanks mate .. so its coming out on this Thursday....

BTW who is this "patcher guy"?... (an honest question.....)

peace

[N4Sony]

A very "biased" Sales Analyst/Predictor who is featured over on Gametrailers often. He is obliterated quite often here prior to NPD figures release, and then when we find that he actually over-rated PS3 sales (despite getting superior 360 sales bang-on) everyone kinda stops talking about him till he predicts another 360 monthly sales victory. At which time, he's garbage again.

[BkaY]

i was counting on him to predict "second coming of Christ"...but....
lolzzz.....
thanks mate... now i know how reliable he is ... is he ever been right about anything .... if not then wha the hell he is still doing in n4g news.....

peace

ps: i use too much "...." plz dont get annoyed by it...

[N4Sony]

That determines how "accurate" he is ;)

Of course, if you stay level with both next-gen HD consoles (like myself, but unlike 80+% of this site) then you're going to take a side with him.

[heyheyhey]

I'm getting this... have been looking for a good title to make me fall in love with sixaxis again :)

[SAiOSiN]

4.5 huh? when r2 was reviewed it got a 4/5. people on the r2 comments section asked why the low score. the guy that reviewed it said that they didn't do halves anymore. anyway...good for flower.

[iHEARTboobs]

There's going to be a demo for this game, right?

[Fishy Fingers]

This should help me sleep after those countless hours on KZ2 :)

Edit: Whats all the disagrees about, this is labelled "Zen gaming" and is designed to help you unwind and relax.

[Nelson M]

Because nothing is gonna take me away from Killzone 2
But i Hear Ya

[Fishy Fingers]

That makes no sense, I said make me sleep, not you.

[Ric Flair]

[bunbun777]

10 disagrees for an innocent statement.

That's 10 more mofo's that'll be passing out drooling with controller in hand while their teammates yell at them "one more!"

I can't wait---

and Flower is going to rock.

--oy -- if people disagree with me about the nature of the disagrees up there---shouldn't that like turn into agrees or something?---

[fafoon]

This Game Looks like a good away to unwind after 10 days straight of Killzone 2

[cmrbe]

Fishy. People don't believe that you will part from KZ2 lol!. It dosen't help that you said you are a FPS fanatic and that you have a helgast as your avatar.

[M-Easy]

This game will help take the edge off after playing something that will exhaust all of you senses.

[swiftshot93]

this is too funny

[Cartesian3D]

lol at disagrees.. some people didnt know you enough.

Flower is a must buy for me, I love games like this because I havent enough time to play RPGs or Online games or whatever so much(many hours W/O break) . I need these kind of games for break time :)

thanks sony(I mean Devs) for making games like Flow,Patapon,Flower.. etc

[poeo]

just remember guys, there are flowers on Helghan too, if you look closely.

:)

[Rhezin]

and this game = Heavenly Bliss

[bunbun777]

nothing more heartening than stoners getting excited with the bowl/game combo!

Light me up-- I'm going to fly on the wind....

[inbfour]

buy it. I was considering it. I don't like the price tag though.

[Myst]

I thought the trailer for this game was rather interesting, being that I love flowers this will be a game that I know I would like. :)

[Sir Ken_Kutaragi]

This and 'KillZone 2' this month is all i need;)
Well + that MGS/LBP Level pack;)

[Ldubbz]

looks interesting...all da purdy flowers...

[Foxgod]

ANOTHER AMAZING GA....

o wait....
Silly me, i was about to call it a game....

[lescailloux]

Was that supposed to be funny?

[Foxgod]

I can understand its not funny to you, your not my target audience, you belong to the group called target.

[gambare]

"not my target audience "

Are the Anal retentive kids a target audience?

[goflyakite]

Let's all just pretend to laugh, and maybe he won't get upset and start to cry.

hahahaha, very clever foxgod!

[silverchode]

[Blackcanary]

[Jubo1]

[Dark General]
