    In general, Plants vs. Zombies is an addictive game in all its versions, but on the Nintendo handheld it has at its disposal the largest audience ever owned by a video game and found its best gameplay on the console because of the touch screen.

    In the end, Plants vs. Zombies is a very apt game on the Nintendo DS that successfully ports this franchise to this console. With perfect controls thanks to the stylus and the exact same gameplay you find on any of the other platforms, this is one game that DS users should investigate because casual gaming doesn't get any better than Plants vs. Zombies.

    Not the greatest, or best value for money, version of the game but a surprisingly decent port that still has all the same undead charm.

    Top screen to see big zombies and touch screen to play with tiny cute zombies! I like playing zombie shooting and baseball :) They are really cute and funny.… Expand

    This is basically Plants vs. Zombies on the DS. No new changes other than the smaller screen size. So if you already have it on any other system, you know what you're getting, though I'm not saying it's bad. Still as fun as it ever was. Recommended for tower defense fans who wants something new.… Expand

    This games is very similar to the PC version so if you want to see what the fuss is all about you can download a trial PC version and give it a spin. If you like that you won't be disappointed with the DS version.
    I find the zombies hilarious and the plants a quite comical, it is a little bit repetitive despite some good efforts to have some special levels that are different to the normal place the plants and shoot the zombies. I measure a games success on how long I play before I lose interest; Plants vs. Zombies got about 2 hours game play so far (not that great) but for the novelty of having plants shoot down zombies this is pretty awesome!    … Collapse

    I don't understand why this is getting such great reviews, I rented it from game fly and the graphics / interface are far inferior to the previous versions I played. WHY would I pay 29.99 for a DS game I can get for$3 with sharper graphic and smoother gameplay. A ten means perfect this far from that.… Expand
