GameFocus: Flock Review

GameFocus writes: "Games have been finding new and interesting ways to allow gamers the ability to design their own creative space using user generated content. Recently games have been taking this to an entirely new level by making it an integrated part of the game, not just an option via PC development kits. LittleBigPlanet showed us the way last year on the PS3 and now Flock! is showing us that it can be done in a downloadable game available on PSN. This novel puzzler will get your attention, but at around 15 dollars, is it worth the price?"

Pros

+ Appealing soft toy styled visuals
+ Level editor
+ Sharable user generated content & challenges
+ 50+ levels available
+ Training placed appropriated
+ Unique design elements
+ Animal behaviours add unique advantage and challenge
+Timed levels challenge players to do better

Cons

- Herd is at the mercy of its physic's engine
- Background sound in some levels overpowers all over sounds
- No Y-axis camera views to rotate to access blind spots
- No difficulty levels
- Level Editor can isn't the easiest to learn
- While fun, herding animals get's repetitive after a while
