It doesn't get much better than this in terms of eye candy. Marred by just a few nasty looking non-organic objects, this is one of the most visually impressive games I've ever seen. Quite an achievement for a download only console game.

Flower is worth the price of admission for its graphics alone, but that's not to discredit its gameplay. You'll only ever use one button at a time while the rest is assigned to motion control (the best use of the sixaxis so far, easily). You hold down any button of your choice to stimulate a gust of wind and tilt the controller to direct your flower petal through the air. Some may call it shallow, but I think Flower's simplicity is one of its strong points. Music is great, too. Suitably relaxing.

At less than 2 hours long, it doesn't have much going for it in terms of longevity, relying solely on trophies for replay value. But for me, it was well worth the purchase. An unforgettable experience. Be warned, though. Flower is not a game for everyone.
