Ever wondered what it would feel like to control the wind? In thatgamecompany's latest PS3 title Flower, you do exactly that. You control one of nature’s most powerful forces but in a majestic and constructive way.
You are a zephyr.
Utilizing the Sixaxis to its fullest potential, you start by controlling a single petal. All the buttons will do the same thing, blow your petal faster. You go from one flower to another collecting more petals until you end up with what looks like a long multi colored flower petal dragon.
Technically this can be seen as a third person point of view as the game uses the camera angles very cleverly and always focuses on one particular petal so you don’t lose your way.
The control is extraordinary and breathtaking.
Using the Sixaxis has never been so easy and responsive. All developers should take a leaf out of thatgamecompany's book before making a game that utilizes the use of the Sixaxis. The freedom of the 360° movement allows you to guide your petals effortlessly whilst being able to see your surroundings. You can negotiate around all of the obstacles in the game with relative ease and grace.
Flower has a very distinct and solid art direction as well as a responsive control system which collaborate to make this game a smooth and relaxing experience.
