Well you may have already guessed but today I bought flOw of the PSN network. Well I had an extra £5.00 and i didn't really have anything else in mind, so I decided to get a game of the PSN network. There was quite a good selection, I narrowed it down to 3. Calling all Cars, the style of graphics apealed to me and I heard that it had really good multiplayer content. Then there was Super Rub A Dub, I looked at Gamespot's review and they gave it a really low score, but all of the user reviews were pretty high, plus it just looked so cute. Then lastly there was flOw, flOw really intrigued me because it got one of the highest score for a PSN game and what they prasied it for was intresting. The fact that it was controlled completely with the SIXAXIS controls sounded cool and the fact that practically every review prasied it for being a relaxing game was also great since I don't really have any relaxing games. So in th end I decided, to go with the flOw.
After I downloaded it I went straight in, literally, as soon as you start flOw it comes up with a couple of lines on how to control it and thats it, your in. In flOw you play a an aqautic worm like organism and eat other organisms to evole your organism, it sounds all complex but it really isn't. You start on the top and when you eat all of the organisms in the area you can eat a red organism to advance downwards and that contuines untill you get to the bottom where you creature has fully eveolved. Once that happens you begin to control a diffrent organism that looks like a jelly, and then the same thing happens again untill you get to the bottom and then you control a diffrent organism and that repeats untill all the organisms are complete. Gamespot say that that will take a couple of hours but I only got to the beggining of the 4th organism and I had done 2 hours. (Then my sis came and kicked me off!) There is no saving, don't know why there just isn't so I have to start again from the beggining later but i don't really care, I'd love to start again anyway. The controls are done completly with the SIXAXIS, now at first this was a little hard to control and I had to keep both hands firmly on the controller and I kept going in the wrong direction, but after 10 minites of practise I was holding the controller in one hand sitting back cosyly in my chair (Somthing I rarely get to do in a game) Now the best part about flOw is the mixture of graphics and music, they work so well toegther. The reason why the graphics are so good is because nothings there, its hard to explain but when you play it you'll understand. The music is, well there isn't really any music. Whenever you switch directions swiftly there is the noise of you know water, and whenever you eat somthing a noise eminates from it, its useally a ding or a dong or even somtimes a "aaaahhhh" All of this toegther makes a very very relaxing game, i will put my review up tommrow, belive me you must get this game. Its only £3.49! Its a good bargin, belive me, just go with the flOw.
