It certainly IS a game. A fantastic game at that.

I loved every moment of it, even though those moments only lasted around 2 hours.

This is how six-axis controls should be done...when they are.

Flower is one of the few things the gaming industry has done right since the late-90's/early-00's. :|

It's because of small development teams such as ThatGameCompany without big franchises to back them up that they are able to break through the stereotypical gameplay designs and try something inventive, since they can only market themselves and their products through their own creativity and inventiveness alone, exposing themselves to the rest of the gaming industry. Flower is a concept that breaks the typical image of what a videogame can bring as a form of "hobby" to gamers, and further solidifies the concept that art and videogames can truly blend as one, intuitive and unique experience.

Of course not, it's on the PS3, how can it not be a game? And due to the fact it is on the PS3, it isn't kiddy, casual, nor too colourful. :roll:

How is it a joke? If anything, it's a breath of fresh air in this conflict-entrenched video game industry.

Lol you obviously haven't tried Wiifit either. You come off with your first post claiming some people to be too lazy to click the link yet you do no research or try anything yourself.

Why compare wii fit to flower? We all know which one is better in a trash versus interactive art battle.

I don't know, Sony like releasing stuff like that on the PSN, I guess this one can be considered a joke also.

wii fit is an exercice device that takes on some characteristics of a game....but it is at its core an exercice regiment. in flower u hold a controller...what u do with the controller is translated into an action on screen...u have an objective in each level....when u complete that objective u move on to the next level....sound like a game 2 u? if u think flower isnt a game because there is no dying....then i guess PoP isnt a game 2 u either.

in its "core" flower isnt a game like wiifit but both have some characteristics of a game. while you hold the controller in flower you stay on the balance board in wii fit

only because you moving your wrist instead of your legs too do some action doesnt make flower more a game ! you also have objective in wii fit and you can DIE in wii fit :P

but it doesnt mean i cant enjoy flower or wii fit :P

if im correct...wiifit tells u an exercise and u do it....its basically a personal trainer. in flower u collect petals and use them to rejuvinate the land...there is a purpose that lies solely in the game itself....wiifits PURPOSE is exercise.....so guess what...although i dont think wiifit is a game...that doesn't mean the periferal cant b used in games likes raving rabbids or skiing etc.

wii fit is half exercise half games but they sell it as a personal trainer

flower is basically that kind of tool you use after wiifit too relax :P

Flower is a fantastic game. Just because you don't blow stuff up on it doesn't mean it isn't a game. It's like trying to hate a puppy's face, it can't be done.

Because, like WiiFit, you can't headshot and it doesn't run on the Unreal 3 Engine.

True, but I don't think I'd want a sequel, I'd want something different again. They've already given us flOw (OK, so not technically new) and Flower, so it would be cool to see what they come up with next. Can't remember the last time I saw a hype thread for a downloadable game, either.

You console gamers are really funny.

Before - PC gaming is a hassle because you have to install to the hard drive and it takes forever!

After - You can install this console game to the hard drive now so it loads faster, and that's great!

Before - I hate patching games, it's also a big hassle.

After - I love DLC on the consoles now, because it adds new stuff to the games and fixes glitches!

Now this: Before - Indie games don't matter for PC, therefore they shouldn't count in system wars.

After - Flower is the best indie game ever made and I'm going to defend it to the last stand! Very funny.

If you can't enjoy flower as a gamer then theres something wrong with you seriously, it hits so many bases when you play it that at the end of it your left completely mind-fragged at the experience, heck its one of the few games you'd want to get high just to play even if you got raided by the cops :D

A joke is that it costs money to buy ( i played flowe in 10 minutes got bored with it). Is good for relaxing 5-10 minutes and shouldnt cost more than $2-3 ( if they really needed to charge you money)
