Plants vs Zombies review

Name:Plant VS Zombies

Genre: 2D shooter,Tower defence

Developer: Popcap Games

Platform: PC, Mac

Game Description: Plants vs Zombies(PVZ) is a 2D tower defence game in which players have to defend their home/base from the incoming zombies using plants. There are many types of plants/tower in this game and each plant is different with different abilities.

GamePlay: The map wil be grid based and player have to plant their plants/tower in the grid strategically as when the zombies reaches the plants/towers, they will eat off the plants. Every few seconds, there will be an item called the sunlight dropping from the sky( unless you are playing in night mode). These sunlight are required to build the plants. Different plants require different amount of sunlight. Alternatively, there is a plant called the sunflower which will give sunlight from time to time so the more you have it the faster you get your sunlight. However, you will use up more space in the grid and thus, your other plants are closer to the zombies. The plants/towers shoots in a straight row to the zombies. There are many different type of zombies and each of them also have different abilities (eg. one of the zombies can jump over your tower). Plants vs Zombies also have different modes like survival mode, puzzle mode and mini games.

Graphics: The art direction is childish and cute. Its not very graphic intensive. A great game for children.

Overall: I think Plant vs Zombies is a pretty good game with cute graphics and an interesting gameplay. However, the gameplay remains the same throughout the game and thus, making the game boring over time.
