    Pure, beautiful genius, and the kind of game that despite its simplicity manages to surprise and wow at every turn. As relaxing as it is gorgeous, no one can dislike this. [Issue #151, p.66]

    While flOw does offer some different gaming experiences and the implementation of the Sixaxis is smooth, it does just feel like a demo of the controller and not exactly a fully rounded game. [May 2007, p.67]

    It's crazy thinking how this game got such low reviews. It's a very original game with a very unique presentation. It does what it does and it does a great job at it.… Expand

    While the concept is nice, the game suffers greatly from the poor implementation of the devs' ideas: gameplay is just plain boring, there is no motivation in watching your creature grow. graphics are way too weak to play the game just because of eye candy. the rest of the gamplay is destroyed by motion sensor controls and frustrating trophies.… Expand
