46Right off the bat, there's really nothing marvelous about Flower, Sun, and Rain. If there's any reason to play this game, it's to see how the developers were before the releases of games like Killer 7 and No More Heroes. Either way you look at it, while the game isn't bad, there's nothing impressive or particularly enjoyable, so it's best to just skip it entirely.

45An addition to the long line of adventure video games that will leave players feeling cold where gameplay is concerned. Suda 51 fans should play it for the story and the music, nothing more.

A patience-trying acquired taste.

As a script, Flower, Sun And Rain is, for at least two thirds, hugely witty and effortlessly mad, eliciting enough regular laughs to cover for the game's otherwise painfully tedious forms of interaction. [JPN Import; Dec 2008, p.96]

The music is awesome, the characters are quirky and the story, is a little like 'Lost', but none of this can lift the game above an interactive story with a poor puzzle mechanic at its core. Let's hope Suda's next DS outing, The Silver Case, fares better. This one is strictly fans-only.

Flower, Sun, and Rain is largely unenjoyable.
-
40Flower, Sun, and Rain is barely a video game at all. Calling it such is almost too high of praise for a blemish such as this. FSR manages to fail in almost every way, and so completely does it fail that I could scarcely finish half of the adventure.

40If you can make it past the horrible audiovisuals and laborious gameplay then there is some fun to be had here, but you really have to work for it.
-
Despite its few moments of levity, however, the surreal nature of the storyline remains a little too odd throughout, and the repetitive nature of the gameplay makes Flower, Sun and Rain more of a slog to play through than it is enjoyable.
-
40Although Flower, Sun and Rain shows signs of innovation, it's much too confusing to enjoy. There is originality here in spades, but the experience lacks direction. Skip it.
-
30It just goes to show that high concept ideas don't always materialize the way they look on paper. If you have a thing for games barely sewn together at the seams, inner monologues and lots of filler you might be able enjoy Flower, Sun and Rain. Might.

30This game is a flat out 3, you should really play it.
