  • Summary: Zombies are invading your home, and the only defense is your arsenal of plants!

    Plants vs Zombies is what casual gaming is really all about; it's intuitive, easy to start and stop at any time, and has a tremendous variety of gameplay modes.

    The most outstanding feature of this incredibly fun title is its personality. Every inch of Plants vs. Zombies is jam-packed with humor and attention to detail, and I never once stopped enjoying its clever take on the genre even after I had exhausted everything it had to offer. Do not miss this game -- titles this good don't come around often.

    This game masters all aspects of a good tower defense game and comes along with a lot levels and many items to unlock. Recommendation alert.

    It's a fun game, does what it's ment to do, and does it well. It has personality and it has style. I loved the zombie bowling minigame, as well as the the overall art direction. It's definitly worth the $10 on steam, and with the amout of actual content is worth the $20 if you want a boxed copy.… Expand

    It's a fun enough tower defence type game. Do not however expect anything particularly new or interesting from it; it is in the end a very simple toy and its neatly done, kind of humourous packaging doesn't save it from being getting old very, very quickly. I think if they'd sold it as the $10 time waster it is I would have been pleasantly surprised but coming on the back of a $20 tag and some great reviews, I was expecting a lot more.… Expand

    It's not a soo bad game, however, it gets really boring after a short lap of time which is sas to be honest. and the difficulty level could be a little bit down as it gets insanely hard really quickly......… Expand
