This game is the shit, and it requires zero shooting zombies in the face!

That's because it has rumble features, you need to sit on the controller while playing, or shove it down your pants and thrust your pelvis (motion control) horny

I have probably ended the lives of countless tens of thousands of zombies in my gaming life, it gets boring after a while.

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.

It's an interesting take on a form of entertainment that often puts destruction over creation, and I definitely think some interesting conversation can come out of the theme presented by this title.

If you don’t own this you are doing yourself a disservice. Some may think that £6.29 for two hours of gameplay isn’t good enough value for money. My response is simple; never before has a game moved me so strongly, never before has a game made my day better, never before has a game affected my view on life and never again will I be so content with the spending of a handful of pounds.

The captivating Flower manages to be both uncomplicated and deep. While many games fail to truly engage the player this highly conceptual title succeeds, and is more immersive than many feature-driven titles dare to dream.

100 - AceGamez
While the game is only six levels long, equating to about two to three hours of gameplay if you don't rush, Flower is well worth the money and you'll find yourself coming back just to go through the same levels over and over again.


And for £6.29 it's a steal!

Capcom did a dis-service to fans. RE4 was better, I clocked in over 20 hours on RE4...RE5 done in 8 hours...co-op was fun though. PS, Chris Redfield needs to stop taking steroids or Sheva won't have much of a willy to play with.

I've heard so much about this game, and yet after hearing it all and watching the trailer, I still have yet to find out what the point of the game is??

Do you just watch flowers float along? Do you steer the flowers? To what end?

WTF is this game all about??

Each level takes place in a different flower's dream as it sits on the windowsill of a dull city apartment. As the player progresses through the game, the apartment and city gradually becomes more vibrant and colourful.

Playing as the wind, the player guides and grows a swarm of pedals by interacting with other flowers and the surrounding environment. This triggers an explosion of color that spreads through the game world. The goals and journey in each level vary, but all involve flight, exploration and interaction with the level. Using simple SIXAXIS wireless controls, the player guides the lead petal through brightly colored, abstract fields and accumulates a swarm of flower petals as he moves at his own pace within the environment, causing the on-screen world to change. Flower's gameplay offers different experiences, pacing and rhythm to all players. Along the way, the environment will pose challenges to the player’s progress.

Both pastoral and at times chaotic, Flower is a visual, audio and interactive escape on PS3.

[taken from wikipedia and a review online] thumbs up!
