    I used to play this with smartphone when I was younger and it's nice to see this on steam. Even if it comes easy now, I enjoyed thoroughly during my play time.

I said plants at least 3 times in that sentence. also, you cant use plants like spike weed in the pots cuz, how the hell is that thing supposed to fit? anyways, there are a ton of memorable minigames like I. zombie, vase breaker, portal combat, combat, and especially last stand, and I haven't even gotten into the soundtrack in this game! the OST in this game is really good, especially the roof wave and pool wave for me. this is a 9/10 game for me.… Expand

    The interface is wonderful. You have so much information immediately available to you. Google Maps always has a minimap in the lower left corner, which gives you a good overview of the area. Getting information about people gives you a clear, clear window. Hacking offers a menu with easily recognizable icons, so you always know what your button presses will do.

    The only real way to describe this game is just that it's overall pretty good. Even though it holds your hand the whole way through, and there is not too much extra content, it is overall very charming and fun to waste a couple hours to try to beat this classic.

I don't get why it isn't considered as a 'Must-Play' in here. Story is funny especially with its terrific DAVE the neighbor character. Plants are funny, zombies are funny. The feeling of progression is terrific even if some strategies kind of ruin the play once you get to know them. It goes the same for upgrades : some really save your life when you need them to. Levels and environments are as varied as colorful. Mini-games offer different gameplays. Boss fights are amazing. Easter eggs are hilarious to find. The main story is still quite short (as you can see, 'Plants vs. Zombies' seems to have been designed to be a kind of mini-game itself) but after that, you can play it again in a more difficult mode ! Steam achivements are really hard and long to get. Also since a level lasts between 5 and 15 minutes it can feel truly repetitive, because all you have to do is a) plant sunflowers, b) collect enough sun and c) invest sun on defensive plants. Again and again until the boss appears. Clearly fun to play but well... Not more than something like 7 to 10 hours. (I only persevered in order to get the achievements of course.)… Expand

Some combos are OP and unable to be defeated. My biggest issue with the game is how easy it is. I usually like easy games but in this case it needs some challenges to overcome.

Not that the graphics are bad but it just looks a bit outdated for even 2009. Finally the levels are designed well but like I said earlier are just a bit too easy.

You only have a single lawn mower per lane. There's a large variety of plants to choose from. There are over 50 fruits and veggies to annihilate the trespassing undead. Later on in this game, you'll unlock a garden, a shop, and an almanac. The garden is a place where you'll grow plants. You can sell the plants and get coins and diamonds. The shop is a van where you can buy minigames, plants, and much more. The almanac gives small descriptions about each plant and zombie which'll likely make you chuckle. Perhaps my favorite thing about this game is its personality. There's a load of character in every corner of this magnificent game. The dialogue is humorous and Crazy Dave is simply an amazing character. This game's music is spectacular and will certainly get stuck in your head. In conclusion, Plants Vs Zombies is an awesome tower defense experience that is certainly worth the price. Have a lovely day/night, folks!… Expand

    Plants Vs. Zombies is a perfect game. No stupid DLC or Microtransactions, a great story mode, excellent humor, awesome split-screen, and great mini-games.

    I really games like this on the app store. Too many games are adopting the free to play style with ads, micro transactions, and a quick hook which fades away after a week. Plants verse zombies is a simple game of tactics, which is paced very well and has aged very well aesthetically and even gameplay wise.

    This is probably a 9.5. There is so much fun to be had and so many different things to do. There might be three legitimate complaints. If you do adventure mode a couple of times, it does feel like a chore. The game is probably too easy. Some of the mini games is very heavily luck based as are some of the endless puzzle boards. Otherwise, it is close to perfect. I spent a lot of time withThis is probably a 9.5. There is so much fun to be had and so many different things to do. There might be three legitimate complaints.

    O primeiro Tower Defense a gente nunca esquece!

    PvZ foi um dos primeiros games que pirateei, e não que me orgulhe disso, mas 10 anos depois pude ter meu primeiro PC gamer e comprar o game com meu proprio dinheiro. E não tem muito o que falar, o visual e ost do jogo são unicos. Mesmo após anos, a musica ainda gruda na minha cabeça como se fosse a primeira vez que eu tinha escutado.

    As Fases são bem diversificadas e o jogo é bem balanceado, por conta de seu sistama de counter, no minimo, interessante. Infelizmente o jogo acaba rapido e sua continuação foi arruinada pela EA e sua ganancia. Ademais, nada disso mancha a imagem de um dos melhores games do genero, na qual todos deveriam jogar.    … Expand

    By the way, if you're a WoW player, you need to play through this game. The only thing I can say without spoiling anything is go to Tarren Mill ;)

    I’ve never been a big tower defense guy but there is something about this game that I’ve always kind of liked. It’s probably a mixture of the strategy involved, the cartoony style and simplistic gameplay. This is a game that I’ve sat down and played many times but I’ve never actually beaten the game. It was on Steam, it was on sale so I picked it up.

    If you don’t know what Plants Vs    I’ve never been a big tower defense guy but there is something about this game that I’ve always kind of liked. It’s probably a mixture of the strategy involved, the cartoony style and simplistic gameplay. This is a game that I’ve sat down and played many times but I’ve never actually beaten the game. It was on Steam, it was on sale so I picked it up.

    If you don’t know what Plants Vs Zombies is, it’s essentially you vs Zombies. What you use to defend yourself against Zombies with plants. You can shoot them, eat them, slow them down or light them on fire but the thing about Zombies is. They keep coming. That’s the tower defense aspect of the game. Sometimes they come during the day, sometimes it’s at night and at the end they try getting into the house via the roof. As you progress through the campaign, you unlock more effective plants to use against the Zombies.

    This is a fun game, I was a little surprised to see this game on Steam if I’m going to be honest. I always thought of this game as a mobile app but honestly, it’s a well-made game. Not only is there a main quest but there is also mini-games and several puzzles to solve. I ended up putting 50 hours into this game. There is a depth to the game that is unexpected but and when you deploy thoughtful strategies and they work out. Its an extremely rewarding game. This game has me thinking that I should give more tower defense games a chance.    … Expand

Each offers something new and different so there's certainly enough variety to keep you entertained for a while. The only downside is the terrible resolution.

    "Plants vs. Zombies" is fun the first time you play it. But after you beat the levels and you play it the second time, it really does get boring. However, the game is simple and silly, so perhaps kids and teens would enjoy the game more.

    Plants vs. Zombies is a huge game with a great sense of humor, and while it tends to play itself once a strategy is completed and the field of fire constructed, putting it all together and experimenting with the possibilities stays fun for a long, long time. [Summer 2009]

    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.
