Addictive action and supercute visuals make Plants vs.Zombies an enjoyable, engaging romp.
Plants and zombies aren't exactly what you'dcall natural enemies, given the latter's single-minded hunger for brains andthe former's complete lack thereof. Despite being brainless, plants apparentlyappreciate the hand that waters them, so when zombie hordes come to eat yourbrains, it's Plants vs. Zombies. To protect your own gray matter, you createdefensive fortifications around your house by cultivating a wide variety ofcute, combat-ready plants to handle the goofy varieties of zombie attackers. Plantsvs. Zombies is solidly rooted in the tower defense genre, but it grows andbranches in such a charming, accessible way that almost anyone can pick it upand have a lot of fun. The basic gameplay is pleasantly engaging, but it willtake seasoned defenders a few hours before they can play legitimatelychallenging levels. Fortunately, Plants vs. Zombies rolls out new units andenvironments at a good pace, and the minigames, puzzles, and Survival modeoffer some clever and challenging diversions. It's a delightful game that isboth addictive and accessible, and you'll never look at your garden the sameway again.
The core action is quite simple. Your lawn isdivided into a grid, and each square can hold one plant. Zombies shamble up therows of the grid toward your house, and if they get past your defenses, well,you know. At the top of the screen there are a number of slots that house thevarious plants at your disposal. Setting a plant down in a square costssunlight, a resource that falls intermittently from the sky. However, you needmore sunlight than is freely available, so you have to plant sunflowers togenerate more sunlight. During the first minutes of a level, it's a measuredbalancing act between building your sunflower ranks and laying down defenses todeal with the first few zombies. Your basic attack units shoot peas down therow that they are planted in, so you'll need one in each row before too long.As the zombies become more numerous, you bolster your botanical battalion witha growing variety of projectile launchers, defensive barriers, attackamplifiers, and one-use weapons of zombie destruction. After you've survivedthe final wave of zombies, you're rewarded with a new minigame, a new type ofplant, or perhaps just a hastily scrawled note from your would-be assailants.
Variety and creativity take this basic missionstructure and turn it into something special. Just when you've gotten yourdaytime defense strategy down, the zombies decide to attack at night and youhave a whole new set of plants to manage. When you've taken care of thenocturnal nasties, it's back to the daytime, only now a few of your rows aretaken up by your backyard pool (there are snorkel zombies). New units comealong that fit the new environments, and this steady trickle of new elementshelps keep the gentle difficulty curve from becoming dull. Still, tower defenseveterans will have to endure a lot of simple, familiar action in order to finda real challenge, and the wait may prove too long for some. Fortunately, all ofthe units are cleverly realized and adorably animated. Happy sunflowers bobmerrily as they fuel your defense efforts, and pole-vaulting zombies jog towardyour house with gangly athleticism. From angry jalapenos to spacy wall-nuts,each unit has a great sense of personality, and the first time you watch adancing zombie moonwalk onto your lawn and summon his garishly dressed backupdancers, you'll likely chuckle with amusement. The visual charm makes the gamea pleasure to look at, and it helps keep things feeling fresh.
Once you've completed the main adventure andunlocked most of the units, the Survival mode offers a number of stages inwhich you can seek a tougher challenge. Each Survival stage is basically abunch of increasingly difficult levels strung together. In both Adventure andSurvival mode, you get a preview of the zombie types to expect, so you canarray your defenses accordingly. Certain zombies can bypass certain defenses;for example, the balloon zombie floats over normal projectiles, but you canplant a cactus to shoot him down. In Survival mode, adjusting for thesemidstage changes might mean that you have to uproot some of your plants to makeroom for strategically crucial ones, or just push your established perimeterout further toward the zombie invaders. Unlike in the Adventure mode, yourdefenses are persistent throughout each level and you get the chance to changeyour plant loadout periodically. Building on established defenses is aninteresting tactical twist and is a great opportunity to use some of the moreexotic species that you may not have used in your Adventure mode strategy. Thisall adds up to make Survival mode surprisingly rewarding. It offers new tacticalchallenges and a reason to play beyond the main adventure.
There are some other fun reasons to continueplaying after completing Adventure mode, namely puzzles and minigames. Thereare two types of puzzle game: Vasebreaker and I, Zombie. In the first, you aregiven a lawn with a number of nondescript vases on it. You have to break themall to win, but you never know what will pop out. It might be a zombie, or itmight be a helpful plant. You have to dispatch all of the zombies to survive,and doing so with improvised defenses is fun and hectic. I, Zombie turns thetables and lets you deploy the zombies. Busting through each row of plantdefenses requires that you use your strategic knowledge for evil; and, in adelightfully morbid twist, you'll actually enjoy the sound of zombies chewingon plants. The minigames are a wacky assortment of one-off challenges thatfurther play with the basic dynamics of Plants vs. Zombies. Some games pit youagainst modified enemies (zombies with plants for heads; invisible zombies),whereas others mess with your planting strategy (planting entire columns atonce; mysterious portals that redirect your projectiles). With 20 levels ofpuzzles and 20 different minigames, Plants vs. Zombies offers a lot ofentertaining ways to keep playing.
Of course, satisfaction for a well-defended lawnisn't your only reward. You can earn money throughout every mode, which you canthen spend on a variety of items offered by your crazy neighbor, who sellsthings out of the back of his car. Items range from defensive boosts, toupgrades for your existing plants, to a wide variety of gardening implements tohelp you cultivate your Zen gardens. These areas are simple greenhouses inwhich you can grow your exotic plants in a zombie-free environment. The musichelps set the Zen vibe and is quite good across the board. It generallyconsists of lighthearted, progressive loops that bop along at a good pace andset a great tone for the action.
