Such a masterpiece. of course it's simple and short, but it really is an artistic masterpiece. I highly recommend anyone play it. Very relaxing, soothing and touching. Surprisingly there's also a twist :shock: (unless people have already heard of it). Go check it out now!

LOL i'll second that. Like the game, but definitely not a game i would call relaxing. But trust me man, there's not seriiously annoying enemies and no time limit.

Good, the time limit is fine of you want to complete eden, but I just liked swinging around. And falling all the way to the bottom could not be any worse. I might get flower.

basically the setup is you're a flower in a dingy apartment dreaming about the fields. The gameplay is you're basically the wind carrying petals. the more flowers you fly through, the bigger your "tail" gets. Whats cool though is that everytime you run through a flower, it produces a certain tune that kinda blends with the music (little side note). It's a bit of the same concept as the new prince of persia in that you put colour back into the environment as you germinate a link of flowers. It's in no way challenging or difficult mind you. Call it interactive art.

At the same time though, there is a twist towards 2/3rds of the game which brings a whole lot of symbolic meaning to the whole game (the premice i described at the beginning should give you a hint).

It really is a masterpiece and i recommend it. Although don't expect an MMO type of deep gameplay. It's on the same level of complexity as flOw.

If I could give it any score it would be a solid 9/10 with the point taken off for how short it is.

Well I'd definately give it a try if there was a demo but I've heard that this game is alot like flOw only in 3d with colours, I downloaded flOw for the PC (Better with sixaxis, I heard)

but I really didn't enjoy that game

Bought it and played 2 levels so far.... um flower pots I mean lol, I have to say I feel relaxed already :D also got myself 3 trophies as well :P The game is really beautiful and the SIXAXIS works brlliantly. Not a game for everyone but definitely for those who are abit open-minded in their choice of games.

I guess I'll buy it tomorrow, because if I download it right now when it finishes it might be too late for me to play it, can't enjoy games at night. Kind of skeptical right now but if you guys say its that artistic then I'm interested.

Aaaaaaaahhh... I don't know yet! Should I buy it or not! I mean, I LIKE different games. I don't mind something other than shooting and racing all the time. I get angry a lot so maybe this game can help me relax :)

But to me, $9.99 is a little steep. From what I hear, it's extremely short. $4.99? Yes, then I would.

Check out what PushSquare said: "If you gave us a week we could never fill it with enough words that do flower justice. Thatgamecompany have created one of the most beautifully thought-provoking masterpieces we've ever experienced in the medium of gaming." http://www.pushsquare.com/478/flower-on-playstation-3-review/ I agree with them!!

As for Flower as soon as I get the interweb again I will definitely be picking it up. I like quirky titles that bring something new to the gaming world. Does anyone know what Pixel Junk is working on after Monsters and Eden I can't wait to see what their cooking up.

I agree, I have a very long list of games i would get as soon as they get a discount.....$4.99 sounds great...

The PS store needs to get their heads out of the gutter and get some spring sale...

I didn't really think that flOw was that good. I was looking forward to some zen gaming and it didn't deliver IMO, It was still ok just not what i hoped for. flOwer on the other hand is fantastic and I would definitely recommend it. it is a fantastic experience for the open minded.

I think the next one they are working on (after Eden encore) is Pixel Junk Dungeons. I don't think there has been very much info on it though.

Me too. I am waiting on a sale to pick up 5 or so DLC titles.

10$ is WAY too much . You can get some great bargain ebay games or discounted disc based titles for 10$ - 20 $ with way more play value AND you can sell them when you are finished. Only Snakeball, Wipeout HD and Super Startdust have been worth the full price IMO.

does it have more replay value than Flow? I love flow but as soon as you collected all the species, there was no reason to go back.

Is there a demo or free trial? I would like to get a sample it first before I use the money in my PSN wallet. I'm thinking of getting it for Valentines Day, maybe my girl will like it.

I just completed the game last night. I think it's incredibly beautiful. The controls are perfect and intuitive. In fact, the whole game is intuitive. I'm going to play it again now and collect everything.

Just completed it a second time as my first time playing it I wasn't sober (by no means a bad thing), and I'd have to agree. I'm pretty harsh on games but for what the game is trying to do I'd give it a 10. Sure it's short but it doesn't need to be especially long, it just needs needs to be relaxing and that it was. Last level was amazing, and I loved the sudden change in emotion about halfway through.

I bought the game tonight. I can say that I am simply amazed.

The graphics, gameplay, controls..everything was done right on a PSN title. The most surprising thing to me is how well implemented the 6-axis controls are for once.

I highly suggest you all purchase the game. For only $10, you really cannot go wrong.
