Flower (PSN)

Feb 17th, 2009 | By | Category: Games

Not really a review this, more of a recommendation. Lately I’ve been feeling that games are starting to just trudge through the old tried and tested formulas to make quick sales (red barrels mean they go boom). Flower, a PS3 exclusive, is an exception. It really is difficult to capture just how refreshing this game is. Anything I say about it will not convince you, you really just need to get if you have a PS3, or buy a PS3 to get it :)

The gameplay is deceptively simple. You start as a petal and you have to control the wind to collect more petals. After you have collected enough petals you will finish the game to make the flower tied to that level bloom. But it is so much more than that. The fluidity of movement using the PS3 motion sensors in the sixaxis controller, the wind effects on the grass, the high definition scenery, the musical score and how each petal found will chime a new note.

This games aim was not to create addictive gameplay, but to evoke emotions that most other games can’t, and it does this wonderfully. If you want a game to make you feel elated, refreshed, relaxed and serene then this is for you. Watch the video below and then get it, so that hopefully more developers will have the courage to take chances on something unique.
