Hah! I listen to both, so I knew where you were going with that.

I agree completely. The trailer had me hooked so I bought it when it came out. It probably didn’t help matters that I’m a Jim Croce fan either.

It’s certainly a great experience and in my opinion, one of the best games on the platform. I fire it up if I’m stressed or just need to relax.

@Orion -- solid review. Good point on the hardcore-casual dynamic. I can’t find two buds on the first level or the third bud on the second level. This keeps me from progressing LoL.

I love this game. Not only is it visually appealing, but the music hits all the right buttons (notes?) for me.

It’s also one of the very first games I let my son play, as it requires no intricate, fine-motor skills that may be just beyond a three year old’s capabilities. Just tilt the controller and push a button every now and then. Simple. It’s a great way to calm him down. And I know for a fact that the music puts him to sleep.

Often at night, when I’m editing here at HSM, I’ll pull up the title on my PS3’s XMB and just let the acoustic guitar music cycle over and over again as I do my work. It’s a great way to end my day.

Also looking forward to their next release -- Journey. I’ve been hearing a tremendous amount of positive buzz about it!

Thanks Orion for telling us about this game. I have heard of it but was never sure what it was about. I got Flow for free a long time ago, and played it through, now you have me curious about this one too. Good review.
