    With all the playtime, all the free updates, all the unique class-changing items, and the online community that will surely stick with the game post-launch you’d have trouble finding a game with much more to offer.

    When all is said and done, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare is just a delightful game, and a ton of fun to play with friends.

    Gripes aside, if you are looking for a colourful, fun and humorous shooter, Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare should fit the bill nicely.
  5. 80
    Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare is surprisingly adept at multiplayer mayhem and character balanced, making for a seriously enjoyable diversion from military shooter ad nauseum.

    Casual shooter's perfect example. Playstation 4's version, with most of the additional content available to date, finally gives the feeling of a complete game, contrary to it's first release. Limitless fun with crowded games. A perfect option for both old and young gamers.

    There's just too much wrong at the grass roots level. [Nov 2014, p.92]

ItPvZ is definitely not a traditional shooter by any means and that is what makes it great. I found this game to be something really special. It takes the fundamentals of the played out shooter genre (which I actually am a fan of) and adds a ridiculous theme from one of my favorite mobile games. But besides my personal interests, the game itself is actually incredibly well designed and Ill cut to the chase.
    Pros:
    -Fun for all ages
    -Lots of customization and character variation (4 classes per side, type variations for each class and ability)
    Peashooter and Fire Peashooter
    Allstar and Hockey player version
    -Exciting game modes=
    Team Death Match (Feels right at home)
    Garden and Graveyards (Simplified version of BF rush mode)
    Gnome Bomb (Comparable to BF Obliteration mode)
    Suburbanization (Domination)
    Taco Bandits (Kinda like CTF, Zombies try to steal a taco from plants 3 times)
    -Free Updates (The last one included the latter 2 game modes and tons of customization items)
    -Easy to play/ Not stressful
    The game was my saving grace from games like Battlefield or KZ Shadow Fall (Still play them). Honestly its hard to be mad at this game.. Sure some idiot on your team will bring the taco back towards the plants but its just so lighthearted and silly that you'll probably just laugh. I hope.
    -Everything feels very well balanced
    Whether in TDM or a completely attack and defend game mode like G&G or Taco, the game never really feels too unbalanced. One team may out rank the other round continuously win but the design of the game is very even across the board. Zombies geared to attack and plants better for defending like they are supposed to but it just works.
    -Garden Ops (Horde mode)
    This is actually a lot different from the main multiplayer and its a great change up. The goal is to survive 10 waves and escape aboard Crazy Dave's flying RV. The game is fun and really focuses on the team working together and having a good balance of classes. The amount of maps and locations within each one plus the variety of bonus waves and bosses keeps this fresh and fun.

    Cons:
    -No single player story
    I haven't been a huge fan of really any FPS story but I feel with the setting of this and the characters they could have actually made an engaging campaign. Hell you could have done two with perspectives from the zombies and plants alike.. I guess its probably better that they left it out rather then screwed it up but maybe in a sequel.
    -Garden Ops, unlike my experience in Multiplayer, can get very buggy which needs a tune up. Not always though thankfully.

    This game is some serious fun and a real change from the mundane other FPS games you might be playing. It is great for literally anyone and I would recommend it highly. Trying to not be biased and see it from all perspectives I do think this game deserves a higher score than it has. It might have a few bug issues that could be fixed but as a whole it is very well built, almost surprisingly so. Because I expect a fix to the problems in Garden Ops and that is the only bad thing in my mind this get a 10/10. Play it. Its fun.

    I have reached level 100 before I really moved on to another game and I think this is my favorite online PVP shooting game so far.

It's addicting and doesn't get boring as fast as I thought it would. I would give it a 10 but lack of single player modes make not worthy of a 10. I wish there was a a slit screen or single player mode in which you can play as a zombie. I recommend this game to people who like to have fun Expand
