Just played a little of the 360 version of PVZ and thought that the cursor worked really well for putting plants down.  What does of everyone think of this version of the game?  I really like it so far.

I never played it on the PC so I'm thinking about getting the 360 version. It seems like it'd control well on the console so I might as well go for it.

I'm confused, how does the "cursor on the grid" differ from controlling a mouse-like pointer with the joystick? That seems like the obvious choice and not necessarily "brilliant".

I was gonna go for it until I read that the multiplayer options are local only. More Arcade game multiplayer fail.

Get with the fucking program guys.

I really like the 360 Version so far. I was just wondering: does anyone know how to unlock the "Endless Survival"-Mode?

Local Multi is where it's at. Rather split a bong with a friend in the sofa than play anonymously online. "

Excluding either option is a bad move on any Devs part and I feel equal amounts of frustration when local or online coop is excluded, never a reason you can't have both. I couldn't agree more about friends vs. Anons online, but when you're about 5hours out from most of your friends it doesn't do to make that drive nightly. "

I thought GoL was going to have co-op

I never played pc either. Love the 360 version though. One thing I don't like is that you have to unlock all the extras! I am dying to play survival but it's still locked and I am on level 5 :P Local co-op works for me though, having lots of fun with it.

I already have it on the PC so I won't be getting it for the 360

I really like that Sun currency and money get pulled into the cursor on the 360, I wish that was an option in in the pc version so we wouldn't have to click so much.

I only played the demo on XBLA but I really hate how you have to use the bumpers instead of the triggers to switch plants. And how you have to hold B to de-root a plant instead of just clicking.
So all in all I like the speed of the mouse better but they did a really good job fitting it to a console controller.

I, too, was pleased by the control options. I not only thought that it would be difficult to move the "pointer" around the map, but that I would have to use it to select the plants too (like the PC version). I think it works well, well enough that I managed to complete the game and all but one of the challenges. Challenges which, on PC, can run at quite a quick pace. You definitely don't get the same speed that you get with Mouse controls, but it's pretty darn close. They did a good job.
