Muckraker  Posts: 301 Joined: 22 Dec 2008     | Hm ive seen quite a few topics lately about games counting as works of art I think this game comes shockingly close to it, Im more into the shooters but this game is beautiful if i saw this in the shop i would buy it, it looks rather fun and a joy to play. |

Senior Editor  Posts: 2278 Joined: 9 Jan 2007    | I was really dubious about Flower until I saw Jordan playing it. It's absolutely wonderful, and I was happily surprised to see how it reminded me of games like NiGHTS and SSX, yet was still so peaceful and lovely. If you have a PS3, you should definitely get the game. It's very special. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1192 Joined: 24 Apr 2008   | I felt like something was massaging the back of my eyes while I was watching the video. This game looks like a great thing to help you relax after a stressful day. I wish I had a PS3 :/ Oh and after some time, which seems like a BILLION years, another game was released that makes games actually look like an art! God job :D |

Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 621 Joined: 19 Jan 2008   | I've just staryed playing. It's lovely. Plus, if you press Select when playing you get a screensaver and if you hit Start it...well, I won't spoil it, but it's very well done. |
Escapist Co-Founder  Posts: 829 Joined: 21 Nov 2004   | I need to get this game and set up a fan to blow at my face while I play, methinks. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 116 Joined: 5 Feb 2009  | The game looks like such a good stress reliever, it would be impossible to be mad about anything after you play it. It looks like fun. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 560 Joined: 2 Feb 2008 | Looks like an innovative little game. I wonder when the copycats will come out of the woodwork? "In our game, you play as a rock! And.. lie there! For points!" |
BANNED  Posts: 12958 Joined: 30 Jan 2008  | Actually, one of the things hthat I find quite fun about this game is to just hold down the X button when I have a large tail of petals, and just fly. The controls seem responsive enough that I genuinly feel a rush from skimming the ground before spinning up. Its like Lair was supposed to be.

You now, not everything about flowers has to be gay. If you really want, you can imagine the petals as dragons, and the flowers as eggs. User was banned for: Poll: What is your opinion on the Metal Gear Solid storylines?. (Permanent) |

But if it's not gay, how can I make jokes? |

My god, you'll have to take it seriously as an art form and not mock it. User was banned for: Poll: What is your opinion on the Metal Gear Solid storylines?. (Permanent) |

I'm not mocking it. I think it looks cool. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2892 Joined: 6 Mar 2008  | This game looks like it'd be right up my alley. Shame I don't have a PS3 :/ |
On the Record  Posts: 6209 Joined: 10 Mar 2008  | 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. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3580 Joined: 8 Feb 2009     | The game is more art than a game. (awesome avi. eraserhead. lol) |

Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 702 Joined: 27 Nov 2008    | reminds me a little bit of katamari. nonetheless i am still really interested in this. |
Paperboy Posts: 25 Joined: 21 Oct 2008   | It saddens me that I'll never get to play (maybe experience would be the better word?)this. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 199 Joined: 15 Jan 2009   | I just finished the game i and am very glad i bought it. |
On the Record  Posts: 5972 Joined: 7 Feb 2008  | 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. |

Review: Flower
Is it a game? A work of art? Either way, this Flower is an intriguing pick.
