Just one more day until the highly anticipated PS3 game flOw is available for purchase exclusively on the Playstation Online Store.
An early review by Kotaku editor Brian Crecente offered nothing but praise for the game. He directly addressed the flash-based PC version (which some have suggested is a reason not to be excited about this PS3 version), noting, “the [PC version] seemed to be missing something. The PS3 version seems to have found that missing component.”
Crecente’s only disappointment was at the length of the game which he clocked in at approximately two hours. However, he shrugged this off by pointing out that “fl0w is mostly about the trip not the destination.” He also offered praise for the control scheme which utilizes the Sixaxis motion control. His final thought: “flOw is most certainly going to be one of those mega hits for the PS3.”
There remains no official word on pricing but expect it to range from $10 to $20. Will flOw do for the Playstation Online Store what Geometry Wars did for Xbox Live Arcade? Check back for our own review in just a few days.

Even the PlayStation Network got into the act with the classic fun hopper Q*Bert and the psychedelic flOw! [...]
