You know, after saving the Hyperverse for I don’t know how many times. It’s just good to sit back, relax, and garden. I’m serious. At first glance Flower Town would seem to be the weakest of the new 3DS street pass games, so wimpy looking, but not wanting to be ‘that guy’ I bought it and gave it a try – glad I did, this game is Zen garden in virtual form. See in this game your mii moves into Flower Town to become a master gardener, which by fortunate providence everyone in town is more than willing to help you with especially Mr. Mendel (the town busybody I’m sure – but he means well). And while Mendel offers advice, and rest of the town (in the form of stores in a mall) gives you assistance in other ways (for a modest fee) it’s once again up to street pass players that make this game work. Once you plant a seed in the pot you’ll need other players to water it until the flower blooms. After that you can get seeds from it and from there you can repeat the process with new plants (provided you keep getting street pass player) until you reach your goal. And that’s the beauty of the game; they give to goal of growing 20 different flowers, but really after becoming master you still want to grow more to see the different types of flowers you can produce. Or buy new items for your garden and arrange them just so to fit your style, you can buy new plots of land for more gardens, and even sell plants for more scratch on the side. Even more options open up over time giving you quite a bit to do in Flower Town; all without a ticking clock, an impending doom, or convoluted storyline – meaning that the game is very relaxing and fun at the same time. Now you action junkies and CoD fans might think this game is definitely not for you, but I challenge you to try the game. It’s not the best headshot of a match that unlocks the AC-130 killstreak (and what is really?), but you might be surprised about how much fun you’re having growing a Vibrant Coronet.
