Zombies are a fad that has never gone away. Over the years, there have been times when they are more popular than others. When the games Plants vs Zombies was first introduced, it was before the cultural push for the undead hadn’t reached its peak. However, in just a short period of time, it quickly become on the bestselling games on the iOS platform and the additional platforms it was carried over to.
Upon initial review, this game looks like a basic tower defense game with pretty scenery. You have your house on the side of the screen and a lawn that varies based on the level. The walkers than come along it at different points and your goal is going to be to take them out as quickly as possible. If they do manage to pass your plants, a lawnmower will take the first zombie out. If they make it past again, the game ends.
Fortunately, there is a wide variety of plants that can be unlocked as you play through this title. For example, you can increase sunlight with sunflowers, or gain sunlight from mushrooms when it is dark outside. There are even characters that can shoot ice pellets and nuts that can block the path of a zombie so your garden can take them out as quickly as possible.
The game Plant vs Zombies is truly a very cartoonish title. You even have a next door neighbor Crazy Dave that will have you go through unique bowling hijinks and give you unique levels that go beyond the simple tower defense theme. As the game goes on, one thing you will find is that it does keep being interesting and the game is going to be the perfect way for you to spend a few hours of your free time.
One of the things you are going to notice when you are playing the game, is that different zombies will have their own unique powers. This can be a zombie that can vault over an obstacle that is in their path, to ones that wear buckets or traffic cones to get closer to you with less damage. The range of characters keeps things interesting and requires more than just mindlessly placing plants on the grass and taking out zombies.
This is a game that is going to continue to be among the reliable favorites of many people. From the casual gamer who likes that a round doesn’t take long to complete, to the zombie enthusiast who can’t get enough of the undead, this will be a title that one shouldn’t miss.
Best of all, when you have finished Plants vs Zombies, you are going to find that the recently released sequel will let you and Crazy Dave continue on with your fun. Of course that will take place with time travel and a new series of plants that are going to help you to take on the walking dead and keep you with an excited smile on your face.
