Plants Vs Zombies Review

Greetings Neighbor to Plants vs Zombies!

Greetings Neighbor to Plants vs Zombies!

Its just something, that one day, someone was going to imagine up. Luckily, Plants Vs Zombies was thought up by the what iv seen, “To have the most addicting games ever”, Popcap Games. There other games like Peggle , Zuma, Bejeweled 2 and others were all amazing successes, how about when Plants Vs Zombies are compared?

First off, If you have ever played “Desktop Tower Defense”, or any kinda of tower defense, then this is just another one with tons of twists. You, as a homeowner, plants plants to help defend against the zombie onslaught. The sun rays is the currency  that you use to pay for the seeds of your plants.  Sounds simple right? Well its is, however from the mass amount of Plants to choose from aswell, at the various zombies that will be attacking you.

At the first few stages the zombies are pretty slow and easy to work at however you too have only a few plants to choose from. The stages work in sets of 10 and in Half-times in the stage, you get to play some mini-games from Walnut bowling to Whack-a-Zombie and more. For beating stages you get new plants, new items, or even letters from the zombies themselves!

From just playing Adventure/story all the time, there are other things to play and enjoy, like Mini games, Puzzle and Survival and the Zen garden.

The Mini-Games is the first thing you unlock are playing story for awhile. The games are extremely unique and fun. Alas, at times they have the same mini-game but just a bit more different or harder from the last. This is still only a small problem.

Puzzle is the second set of games that you unlock after playing story for awhile. This only has 2 different set of game with one being you breaking vases and to kill all the zombies inside them. The other is Zombie based games, where instead of you controlling and spawning plants, you are spawning and controlling the zombies! You may think that this is kinda a wasted thing here, however they are still fun and very challenging at times.

Its all fun and games until, someone gets their brain eaten...

Finally the last one would be Survival. This does have any fancy mini-games for puzzles, but it does have hours of fun and challenging levels. Its simply, that you go thru each kinda environments (e.g. Roof, Pool, etc) and survive 5-10 flags (which are like stages). They have all the environments and once you get thru those you have an option to go and do them again but on ‘Hard’ Difficulty. I wrote a nice helpful tip post about doing this; Here.

Overall what is the score? Well if you loved the feel of other Popcap games, love a nice challenge that is given to Tower defense games,and can spend $20 on it then this is an Instant buy for you guys!
