  • Summary: Plants vs. Zombies™

    Stem a zombie attack on your iPhone!

    Get ready to soil your plants in this brand-new version of the hit PopCap game! A mob of fun-loving zombies is about to invade your home, and your only defense is an arsenal of 49 zombie-zapping plants. Use peashooters, wall-nu
    ts, cherry bombs and more to slow down, confuse, weaken and mulchify 26 types of zombies before they can reach your front door.

    Each zombie has its own special skills, so you’ll need to think fast and plant faster to combat them all. But be careful how you use your limited supply of greens and seeds… as you battle the fun-dead, obstacles like a setting sun, creeping fog and a swimming pool add to the challenging fun. Get ready to soil your plants!

    This absorbing and unique take on tower defense, or "flower defense", is brimming with personality.

    The real kicker here is that this fantastic game is only $2.99. What are you waiting for?

    Plants Vs. Zombies goes beyond the game, becoming something more like a phenomenon.

    There's a reason Plant vs Zombies is one of the most popular Iphone games - and it's not just the moonwakling Michael Jackson-zombie. It's also a deep, satisfying and addictive tower defense game that's one of the best of its genre.

  1. Such an amazing addictive game! I love it so much. There is so much depth to it. It takes hours even days to beat, plus all the fun little game modes. It's a must-buy!!!! Expand
  2. The game is very good but is not as good as the pc version caused by the lack of: zen garden and mini games. after you complete the game there is not much you can do Expand
  3. A brilliant, innovative game. This really brings something new to the Tower Defence market, with new surprises and changes of play on every level. However, I would say that PvZ does not have the re-playability that it needs for users to complete the Story Mode - I know I didn't. This is a brilliant game, but things may turn stale 3/4 of the way through the Story Mode; this is why I give it a 7 and not a 10 - lacking the re-playability that it needs. Expand
  4. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would have given this game an 8 or so, but I HATE (H.A.T.E.) the most unfair minigame of all time: Vasebreaker. That minigame is a complete negative on this otherwise wonderful game. That minigame almost sucks out all the fun out of the strategy of the game by being so unfair. I hate Vasebreaker with every bit of my soul. Expand
