Review: Flower

[Jumplion]

Flower does look pretty cool. Just by watching the video I was exhilarated at how fast the wind went and went wooshing past the grass.

I may buy this, and most likely I will, but I'll wait a bit and see a few more reviews about it before I jump on the indie wagon. It's always a risk to get these kinds of games.

Something similar, but much older, is Cloud. [http://intihuatani.usc.edu/cloud/]
It was also created by the same people that made Flow and Flower. It's still rather interesting but not quite as polished. Also an underlying theme/story to it.

reminds me a little bit of katamari. nonetheless i am still really interested in this.

It saddens me that I'll never get to play (maybe experience would be the better word?)this.

I just finished the game i and am very glad i bought it.

I enjoyed Susan's "wheeeeee" and might pick up this little title at some point in the future. Especially since it looks like the girlfriend might really like it...

Yeah... that's it really, only she will play it, I hate flowers...

Okay I lied.

 

[oAmadeuso]

Wheeeee!

Would like to make this my phones message alert : D

Definitely worth playing. Fun and beautiful.

While this game looks very pretty, im not sure if the gameplay is worth buying.

Susan Arendt is one of my favorite editors ever.
Scratch that. The BEST.

If only it was for the PC.

Other than that, the narrative is really what made this video. Especially the "Wheeeee". That part was excellent.

I have desided to buy the game... Just because its pretty.

Good times.

I'm super excited for the 'Artistic gaming showdown: Flower vs Braid!' thread that is inevitably coming.

Actually wait, this is the Escapist. I'm super excited for the 'FLOWER GRAPHIX: VERY AWESOME OR SORTA LESS AWEESOME???' thread.

Ouch. On topic I think that Flower looks surreal. I don't think I've seen a game that is as serene as it so far. It'll be interesting to play it...if I do.

I love it. I just downloaded it and it's one of the best ways you could possibly spend 10 dollars. So peaceful and relaxing. I'd give it a ?/? because you just can't put something like this into a numerical value. It's too unique.

 

[Sir_Chumley_Warner]

It.. left me a bit different. Hard to explain but there was something truly beautiful there... Buy it, it's short but if you have a PS3 you owe it to yourself, the pricing is definitely justifiable.

 

[The_Prophet]

I really enjoy watching this.

 

[Corpse XxX]

Really dont know what to make of this game..
Somehow it looks really interesting, but on the other hand it looks like something that i would get tired of after 2 minutes..

If many escapists recommend it in the end i MIGHT just give it a go..

 

[Laerid]

I absolutely loved it. Strangely enough, my girlfriend didn't. She said it was boring and pointless...aaah, simple minded little thing, but I love her.

I guess you've got to have a certain gaming background, so you can see what flower trully is : something new in videogames, something few have dared to make, and when you've played videogames since the late 80's you can fully grasp why is this such a big deal, why is flower so special.

A true breath of fresh air, loved every second of it (plus the trophies are fun).

I don't know, for some reason reading that kinda cinched it for me that I'll be getting a PS3 as soon as I get a disposable income.
