It's just the sort of hyper-addictive game that you'd expect from indie publisher PopCap, whose other smash hits include Peggle and Bejeweled. In all, the game includes 40 varieties of deadly plants versus 25 separate breeds of zombie.
Eventually, you’ll be facing aquatic zombies riding undead dolphins and an entire undead bobsled team, utilizing weapons like a Gatling gun-esque pea plant, potato land mines and nuclear mushrooms. From the Thriller-era Michael Jackson lookalike zombie who summons a horde of dancing attackers to the almost annoyingly cheery sunflowers, both your enemies and your allies are as entertaining as their abilities are varied.Įarly levels see you defending a simple grid from a small horde that slowly trudges straight ahead using plants that fire single pellets, but each successive level adds a new twist. The huge variety of both plants and zombies keeps things interesting.
