Storm demo

Pretty and shitty
Date played: August 6th
Platform: PS3
Session fun rating: 1/10

Bleh. This game sucks. This is a 2D puzzle game that has the player move fruit around to grow trees using the elements. For example, using wind to push the seeds towards the next patch of fertile soil or using lighting to burn things that are blocking the path. While the game looks great, it plays like shit. The controls are iffy, I had trouble setting up my wind streams more than once. Secondly, it's really hard to know what is possible and what isn't. I got stuck on the third level simply because I couldn't figure out how to have the seed climb a steep slope. I'm really glad I didn't spend any money on this one...
