flOw + expansiOn – Trophy Patch Released - Blu-ray Forum

WeApOn · 02-23-2007, 01:59 AM

Anyone played this yet? I'm interested to see what people think about it. I wish they had a demo so I could try it out. The video's didn't look too appealing to me, so I wanted to see how people who actually played it felt. Seemed like a 3d version of snake?

I haven't played it yet, but it looks awfully familiar to a flash game I ran across on the internet somewhere.

u_nick · 02-23-2007, 02:42 AM

It based on a flash game, which should be somewhere on the net still I think. The PS3 version looks to be similar, but more advanced/bigger/better. I look forward to it. Totally forgot it was out today! I'll have to download it tomorrow.

Not worth the $8. It's boring and the controls suck. All you do is float around eating things...it doesn't keep track of score...you can't die...there's no challenge or anything.

Shin-Ra · 02-23-2007, 11:04 AM

You're missing the point, it's more of a chillout experience for current gamers and an attractive starting point for non-gamers.

If you were expecting something else I doubt you were patient with the tilt control. It should make for good practise unless there's a huge (software induced) deadzone like in the Zelda Twilight Princess RollGoal minigame.

phranctoast · 02-23-2007, 12:45 PM

its cool and mellow..you get lost playing it. While theres is no score you get bigger by eating and evolve.

Avarond · 02-23-2007, 12:52 PM

I thought that it was a bit hard to control and kind of slow at first. 3 hours later I had to make myself quit. Once you get used to the controls its rather addicting and there are actually puzzles of sorts with the different creatures. For $8 I think its a great buy.

xberserker · 02-23-2007, 03:30 PM

As soon as I downloaded flOw I let me GF try it and she played it for hours, I just watched her play, lol. She loved it. It's very relaxing and fun.

I think it's a nice break from the regular video game. No HUD, no nothing. Just pretty graphics. You can even play 2 player. Just have another person pick up a controller and press start and they can start, when they put it down eventually there creature goes away. It's all very .. simple! I really like it.

WinterWolf · 02-23-2007, 04:51 PM

I bought it yesterday. Amazing game, very addictive. Controls take a bit to get use to but in the end there is no better way to play. Beautiful game...runs in 1080p. I hope nobody makes the mistake of letting this go by.

WeApOn · 02-23-2007, 05:13 PM

Cool, thanks for the mini-reviews. Is the music nice? I heard it was.

phranctoast · 02-23-2007, 05:22 PM

ambient music.

MyXBR3isMygf · 02-23-2007, 11:38 PM

fl0w is awesome.

It has a very basic purpose as a game and it delivers.

The visuals on my bravia are stunning. If i had bandwidth left for today I'd post some pictures but in the meantime here's a video I made:

Obviously it's received the YouTube compression treatment but trust me when I say that this game is crisp, bright, colorful, and a ton of (relaxing) fun to play.

I decided to share this game and found the max 4 people so we all ended up getting it for $1.60. Two of the guys were from the UK and so they were really glad to be able to get it now. Game sharing is great!!!!!

How do you share a PS3 online game?

Anyone purchased FLOW from the Sony Store?

Is it more exciting than the trailer? Actually, it looked a little interesting, but not sure it's be interesting enough to buy.

nhaase · 05-13-2007, 02:52 PM

I haven't bought it, but a friend of mine said it's worth the money, he really enjoyed it. He lives about 500 miles from me now, so I haven't played it, either.

jorg · 05-13-2007, 03:08 PM

its the kind of game you play to relax and have some qiuet time

i don`t have it but i tihnk i might

haichuu · 05-13-2007, 04:10 PM

I liked it fairly well kinda short but it's chill and worth the experience

WeApOn · 05-13-2007, 07:27 PM

Yeah. It's kind of a timeless game. Once you play it its pretty awesome, then you finish it and its the same old thing, but a couple months down the line you can pick it up again and play. It's good if you want to show the system off to new players or kids.
