Rydek, your comments are based entirely on the assumption that a particular sort of game should score more highly than another. Which is so closed-minded I might have to sob for a minute.
"I'm from the uk everywhere in Europe gets along with america, but no place to the east if you think of it, so come on really." I'm not even going to dare to imagine what you might be implying by that. |

OK. bought Flower on the strength of this review, and I have to say I'm in love with this game. I have an advance copy of Killzone 2, and I took a break from playing that to check Flower out. Intended to play through the first level just to see what it was like, but I'm halfway through it and now realise I'll be finishing it tonight. Quite simply a very pleasurable experience. And it IS a game, just without the usual conflict-based drama. More of a "Journey-not-the-destination" type deal...
Killzone 2 is frickin' good too, though :-) |

I find it hilarious, and a very telling statement on the PS3's title catalogue (I can't even bring myself to call it a games catalogue) that this TECHNICAL DEMO is firstly even considered a game and secondly is actually being CHARGED FOR (that is absolutely shameful, and shame on you people who paid for it for encouraging such behaviour).
It's like Stockholme syndrome. The more Sony beats you with reams of rubbish non-games, the more you lap it up. The power of brand association, eh? It's the foible of a weak mind. |

And yet, my sweary friend, despite the boredom you are compelled to reply. Next time would you be a dear and consider not stabbing the queens english in the eye with your jagged, rusty phrasing? |

"Stockholm, not Stockholme. Please don't abuse the King's Swedish." My apologies. I shall flagellate to purge myself of impure spelling. ;) "Also, your comments are moot since you're dead inside, and we're not" I had wondered what the dry, zombie-like feeling in my insidey parts was. I had assumed it was dehydration. I guess I should have checked my pulse... |

Shame on you Eurogamer. This is Game of the Year material and worth a 9 or 10 imo.
:D It's like poetry in digital form. |

I played this through this evening and actually quite enjoyed it. The world in which you manipulate the wind physics is very relaxing a became a welcome departure from big guns and big explosions of late.
+ 1 This joins PJ Monsters and PJ Eden as the primary reasons why my PS3 gets a look-in almost every evening, while my Xbox 360 gathers dust. |

I would have hoped a man who uses words and phrases like "brand association" or "foible" would be capable of more than the partisan bilge you like to void over these hallowed pages. Are you sure you're not just taking the piss? :) |

What the hell kinda technical demo is this? And how dare they have the tamarity to charge for this utter poop that they call worthy of being in the PS3 library - well looking at the other PS3 games they might not be wrong ;)
Im pretty sure I've had more fun plugging in my Xbox 360 hard drive then with PS3 the games to date. |

A truiy wonderful game. Beautiful and absorbing from the start right to the joyous end. I hope there's more to come via PSN as I would swap a hundred FPS meat-head, smack talking kill-em-ups for this piece of sublime wonder.

Surely anything that creates an emotional response can technically be classed as art. In that respect the question of whether this game is art or simply a piece of entertainment comes down to the individual's reaction to it, just as it does with any game, book, film, painting or piece of music.
Personally I found it to be one of the most refreshingly fresh and addictive games I've played in a long time, it even drew me away from Portal on my 360 and World of Goo on my Wii, if only for a brief time. One of the most memorable and enjoyable experiences I've had in gaming for a long time. |

"Fuck IGN" is a genre now? |

Wow u r exactly right, davisorle!! I can't believe I didn't realise it sooner as well. It is indeed fucked up that [Game A] got a 5 and this [game B] got a 9. What the hell?! Ugh I'm disgusted now.
We need to wake up everybody. [company A] is turning us all into a generation of pansies. Let's a start supporting [company B] instead. The future of both hardcore and casual gaming is at stake here! |

Bought this yesterday. Played 3 of the levels so far and had to tear myself away after I realised how long I'd spent on it. Really relaxing, a nice break from the other stuff I'm into at the moment. The price point seems about right for what you get, if I'm honest, and it IS beautiful.
Not sure I agree with it being "artsy", but I'm liking it for what it is in game terms at least. Will play some more tonight. |

Just got it over the weekend - Finished it already yet there will always be a time that I want to go back and just experience it again..... really great and well worth a look - If its your kind of thing to begin with I guess. An eperience more than a game I would say. Great stuff and a refreshing change.

Totally agree. The only issue I have is the week long gap I have to give my self away from the game to get that last trophy. Not really in the chill out spirit I guess but nevermind.........my kids loved it too. In fact it was only when they asked to play on the PS3/Xbox a day later that I realised how many titles are now equating AAA status with 15+ age ratings and therefore there was noting else for them to play. Flower is the exception and should be rewarded accordingly. |
