The premise is very simple: your house is on the left, there's a hoard of zombies on the right, and in between is your yard. You collects suns to earn money, which allows you to buy plants to put in the yard to fight the zombies. The plants are cute & clever (such as "pea shooters" that shoot "frozen peas" and "squash" plants to do exactly that - squash a zombie). As you progress through each level you earn a new plant with new skills to defeat varying types of zombies.
The game is divided into four sections: Adventure, Mini-Games, Puzzle, and Survival. The "Adventure" mode is the actual game, with five settings: front yard, nighttime, backyard (with pool), backyard nighttime (with pool & fog), and rooftop. There are ten levels in each setting. As you progress through the Adventure mode you unlock the mini-games and new items appear in "Crazy Dave's Store."
The only real downside is that the Adventure mode goes by pretty fast. I was hooked and played non-stop, so I beat the Adventure mode in one day. Once you figure out the best strategies for each setting, it's pretty easy to beat each level.
However - after you beat the Adventure mode, finishing the rest of the game takes quite a long time. There are 20 mini-games, 2 puzzles (with 10 levels of each), and 11 Survival modes (which are marathons in each setting). If you play the Adventure mode again, it gets a little harder because Crazy Dave randomly chooses a few of your plants, thereby limiting your firepower.
If you *really* want to make the game last a while, then you have two main goals: purchase everything in Crazy Dave's store and complete all of the Achievements. It takes a long time (and a lot of repeat playing of favorite levels/mini-games) to earn enough money to get everything. Trust me - I'm STILL making payments on that stupid tree, lol!
Even though I've beaten the game, I still end up playing it over and over again. It's my go-to stress reliever when I need a break & just want to zone out for a while. I HIGHLY recommend giving it a try!
The Plants-
To name a few we have "Peashooters"- a pea plant that spits out peas at the zombies, a "Squash"- who squashes the zombie when it gets near it, a "Tall-Nut" which blocks the zombies path as he munches through it, Watermelon Catapults, Cactuses that spit spikes, bombs, mines, mushrooms which sleep during the day, sunflowers which produce sun for you to use the plants and many more. Probably around 49 different plants you can collect. You get a certain number of slots for different plants to use during each level, you can buy up to 10.
The Zombies-
The Zombies are all different. Some of them are normal zombies, which are easy to beat, some have road cones on their heads (even harder), metal buckets (very hard) and some are giants ( which carries a baby on his back), also football players, a zombie from the 70's who wears bell bottoms and has back up dancers and many more. There was another zombie dancer originally and I liked him better but they had to take him out of the game due to him resembling a certain celebrity who lets say you know as once performing as a zombie and dancing. So now that they took him out of the game they replaced him with a zombie who wears bell bottoms and basically is a 70's dancer, along with 4 backup dancers coming towards the house. We even have a dolphin zombie... Also, a secret zombie who you discover the 2nd time around in Adventure Mode. There's tons of them.
The levels include Day/Night, Pool and Roof. In each of these levels you fight against the zombies in your yard during the day, the night-time, the pool, the pool at night, the roof during the day and finally fight the big Dr. Zomboss who rides a huge mechanical zombie and sits inside it while throwing out a bunch of zombies and squashing your plants.
Not only do you get the levels, you also get 20 Mini-Games, Survival Mode, Puzzles, Almanacs and Awards. Plus a Zen Garden to grow plants and sell them to a guy named "Crazy Dave"- this guy sells you goods and plants, you can buy a bunch of stuff from him.
You can also buy an Aquarium Garden, a snail to pick up silver and gold coins that the plants give, A Mushroom Garden and a Tree of Wisdom (which grows) that you feed with fertilizer and spouts out different "tips" for the game as well as doing special things when it reaches a certain height.- For instance you can grow it to 100 or 500 feet and at a certain height the zombies will do special things in the game. Plus you can make your own Zombie Avatar and he also appears in the game itself, so far i've made three and they all appear in the game spontaneously, as one of the zombies coming to the house.
There's also a music video at the end, the credits which has the sunflower singing and the zombies all dancing/ If you listen to it a couple times it's very catchy and the songs sticks in your head.
There are many Easter Eggs in this game, different things to discover, and tons of stuff. This is like a bunch of different video game concepts in one. Especially with the mini-games. There's such a variation and if you beat the Adventure Mode, The Survival Mode is even harder, so you have that to challenge you.
This game is well worth the money considering the hours of fun you'll get out of it. I have been playing it on-n-off for a month and I'm still not finished with everything. I still have survival modes to complete, still haven't grown my Wisdom Tree enough to see them dance, and still haven't completed a mini-game.
My only complaint is I wish there were more levels or different scenes. As in we get the Daytime Yard, The Roof, The Pool and Dark. I wish there were another background or more levels to play though there is a lot....
They should release Plants Vs. Zombies 2- I would definitely buy it. It's a great game. Never would I dream up the thought of using plants as a defense against zombies but this actually works. It's absurd but it's brilliant. Highly Recommended.
