Relaxing game with a few surprises along the way.

User Rating: 8 | flower PS3
It really is a shame that this game is so short because it was just so much fun. Flower to me is basically like an advanced version of the classic game Snake. It has basically the same principles, only this time it's extremely pretty and much more complex.
This game is of course well-known for its relaxing effect. And it's true, floating around on the air does give you a wonderful lightweight feeling of freedom, just drifting through fields of grass can be beautiful. I had heard this about the game however so it didn't surprise me. What did catch me off guard was how dark and creepy some of the levels were. No one warned me about that and I was pleasantly surprised at the depth that these 'darker' levels added to the game.
Some of the levels were downright eerie. Floating through dark grey lands with scary music, and nothing but piles of metal electrocuting you if you get to close, then collapsing all around you was quite different to what I expected, but I enjoyed it all the same.
I did enjoy the gameplay here as it utilized the motion sensors of the PS3 controller. I found it a little hard to control at the start but once I got used to it was smooth sailing for the rest of the game. As I said before, this game was short… really short. That usually doesn't bother me in games as I'm fairly slow anyway, but even with me playing this game felt like it was over before it really started.
Contrary to what most people say however I do believe that this game has replay value. At least for me it does as by the time I finished it I only had about half of the available trophies so now I aim to keep replaying the game until I get them all.
