Flower, Sun and Rain has everything you expect from a Goichi Suda game. It’s stylish, has an incredibly complicated and interesting plot, unusual gameplay mechanics and a wonderful sense of ambiance. Read more
- Wonderful story. Fantastic and responsive touch screen controls. Interesting characters. The Lost and Found side quests are an interesting extra. The music is absolutely wonderful.
- Horrible camera. The graphics aren’t impressive since the 3D cel-shaded look didn’t translate well. Some of Sumio’s tasks feel like busywork. Ends with a cliffhanger.

- Occasionally humorous dialog
- Puzzle solving is a chore, Graphics and sound are sub-par, Gameplay is shallow

: Flower, Sun and Rain is pretty much like every other Grasshopper game that’s found its way to the US. Iseems, at first glance, like something interesting that should be fun for everyone, but thanks to some questionable... Read more

Imagine yourself at a beautiful resort. Got that? Okay. Wait...what's that? Every day repeats itself? And you have to defuse a terrorist bomb before a plane explodes? Man...some resort. Read more

Flower, Sun and Rain is most likely one of the strangest games available on DS so far, and yet in the same breath proves to be one of the most captivating experiences on offer. Read more

Clearly there is a difference between art and video games. When it comes to Flower, Sun, and Rain I think it would have been much better if this game stayed on the very pieces of paper the developers wrote their ideas on. Read more
