For it's price and charm, you'd like these zombies on your lawn.
We've probably come to a point where zombie games has gotten old. We have Dead Rising, Left 4 Dead, Nazi CoD zombies and Resident Evil (if you still consider them zombies) to satisfy our need for zombies in our videogames for a long while. Make room for your stomach for at least one last zombie game as Popcap, the makers behind casual games like Zuma, Bejeweled and Peggle is now ready to add that final sprinkle on top.
Plants vs Zombies initially comes off as a simple tower defense game. It starts you off with a short list of plants to choose from that range from sunflowers to help expand your only resource in the game to planting peashooters that help fend off the upcoming zombies. Suddenly the playing field expands to 2 rows and than finally to 6 rows, making it so that zombies would periodically come from one row to another. The early game's short list of plants slowly expands while giving you a certain pace well enough for you to learn the specifics of what each plant does and when you would want to use it. If a zombie reaches one specific row twice, the game would be over.
As you progress through the game's adventure mode the game becomes hectic as the numbers of zombies grow larger and the game would sporadically throw different zombies that would call for a specific plant to take them down. Before you head into a mission, your given a certain amount of slots, a shop menu allowing you to buy extra slots and flowers and also shows which zombie it'll throw at you, making it so you would have to wisely select your plants to complete the task at hand. As your nearing the end of the adventure mode, the game does become difficult but by than thanks to the game's excellent pace you would likely know everything there is to know about the game.
Plants vs Zombies is cute and cuddly. Despite the fact that these zombies still want to eat your brains, you can't help but invite these guys to your lawn thanks to the game's cheery vibe. The game is also plain funny as it throws several lines of dialogues and text that makes it so that you can't help but smile. It's adventure mode can take around 6-8 hours along with a puzzle mode, mini-games and survival mode for that extra mile making it so that your 10$ investment on Steam goes a long way.
Plants vs Zombies is just so charming, so accessible and fully defines the best in the tower defense genre that for it's 10$ price tag on Steam, it would be a mistake not to invite these zombies to your lawn.
