One that we are more curious about is the "All Names To The Sky" trophy. Kinda cryptic in nature that trophy is.

you have to make sure to hit every flower in hte credits ... its sends the name up and away you must have missed one if you went thru the end credits and didnt get it

Sorry... we actually got that one. Shortly after posting that comment I realized that it probably had something to do with an interactive credits sequence.

I played through this last night. All I can say is FANTASTIC. I'm a fan of any game that present new/fresh ideas, especially when they are this polished. The music was perfect. The mood change halfway through the game was brilliant.

To me its something my girl would play, but I see NO appeal to this whatsoever.

I think the main thing your missing is that you haven't played it (at least from the sounds of it).

I'm actually shocked to hear this is so good as well, but I think I'll wait and hope it's on sale in the next PSN sale before purchasing

Poetic · 02-13-2009, 01:41 PM

I DL'd it yesterday and played thru once then did a couple levels again to get secret flowers and some trophies. Can't wait to play again when I get home. I still need 5 trophies. One being the week long thing that I'll cheat on once I finish the other trophies.

Game is really nice, very relaxing and so beautiful. The credits was amazing.

I think people around the net is overrating the game though, people calling it the best playstation game and their top 5 all-time. It's a nice experience though don't get me wrong.

Maximus · 02-13-2009, 02:06 PM

Downloading one I've finished backing up! Can't wait to play, it looks wicked!

dereksworl · 02-13-2009, 02:18 PM

I will most likely buy it tonight. everybody says its worth it. Oh, thanks for the poll Max P

Goodintentions · 02-13-2009, 02:29 PM

rated it a gold only becasue its a bit on hte short side

TheFaze · 02-13-2009, 04:22 PM

I DL'd it last night and played it. It's incredibly beautiful and relaxing. I liked the way the "story" changes up a bit after the fourth dream. Unfortunately, by the middle of the fifth dream, I had to stop due to motion sickness, lol. Ah well, I'm sure I'll be revisiting it again soon.

sega_smasher · 02-13-2009, 04:27 PM

i'm broke so i cant afford this rite now. but once that check hits the right balance on my bank account this is my first purchase along with noby noby boy and street fighter 4. then i'll be broke again lol

dereksworl · 02-13-2009, 04:58 PM

hmm, looks like its well on it's way to platinum. pretty good for a PSN game. Will def have to check it out now.

sega_smasher · 02-13-2009, 05:05 PM

yeah. looks like whoever posted it as "trash" couldnt back up their reasons why so... all i see are raving reviews from others. was planning on buying anyway. CMON NEXT FRIDAY! lol

Thats why I'm all about having people setup the voting polls to be allowed to see who votes for what. I think it helps people be more honest as others will know what they did.

i like the idea. so my question is, are you becoming a MOD anytime soon? lol. if you arent already.

(sorry for the double post)

JTStarkiller · 02-13-2009, 05:57 PM

This is definitely the most moving game I've ever played. I liked flOw, but this game is truly a wonderful experience, and I'm only two levels in.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I can't wait to get off work and have the weekend to play with flowers.

silversnake · 02-13-2009, 07:00 PM

The reason it's so good is because there really isn't any other experience quite like it. It's much more in "depth" than flow for the simple reason that the "playground" is huge and just flying around is incredibly fun. The presentation / experience is nothing quite short of spectacular.

If you want to play a game that's easy , relaxing, visually stimulating, very zen like than this game is for you. The game itself will be over in about 2-3 hours. But if you go back and look for all the secret plants etc it will definitely take longer.
