An innovative game that is a ton of fun, but there's something missing...

User Rating: 7.5 | flower PS3
Flower is a fun game. All you do is activate flowers with the flower pedal you control, and in return these flowers you have activated open up new areas of the level you are in. You can't die, there are no time limits, and you don't have to collect a certain number of flowers either (unless you want to find all three hidden flowers which are in each level).

The game itself does have some decent graphics, and the way color and sound is used is something that will put the player in awe. The transformation of the levels is also something that the player will find breathtaking. Unfortunately once you have done a level once the emotions you had the first time playing through probably won't be there the second time. Also, as GS said in their review, the game is very short. I didn't spend the extra time trying to find the hidden flowers in each level, but I did beat the game in one sitting which was about an hour and 45 minutes long. This includes the last level which is basically like Flow where you play through the credits.

The game itself is a lot of fun, it's relaxing, but for $10 I felt like it should take a little bit longer to complete, especially when I consider Super Stardust and PixelJunk Monsters. It's a visual treat, but once it's done I doubt you'll be very inspired to go back and play it again and again.
