    If the thought of a portable Plants vs Zombies appeals to you, or you just enjoy well made, fun, addictive games, this one is worth your time and money.

    The real kicker here is that this fantastic game is only $2.99. What are you waiting for?

    Plants Vs. Zombies goes beyond the game, becoming something more like a phenomenon.

    This absorbing and unique take on tower defense, or "flower defense", is brimming with personality.

    The 88 Metacritic score of the original Plants vs. Zombies (complete with 100's from multiple sources) just goes to show how great this game is. The iPhone port is absolutely phenomenal, and even though it's lacking a few game modes, there's always hope for them to be implemented in the future either via an update or a DLC add-on.

    Plants Versus Zombies, for the small investment of $2.99, is one of the better purchases on the App store.

    Despite being slightly on the easy side, PvZ is an absolutely stellar package, overflowing with so much charm and charisma that It's almost impossible not to be swept up in this wonderfully zany world.

    The gameplay is just as well-balanced and finely tuned as it is in the PC version. The presentation is up to the same high standards, while the control system is perhaps even improved. Like so many PopCap titles, PvZ is slick, pretty, charming and funny.

    This is a humorous and addicting casual game, far from the tense and gory experience found in most zombie games.

    The end product is really fantastic and stands right up there with PopCap's other hits like Peggle and Bejewelled.

    The battle between flora and undead fauna remains as fun as ever in this accomplished iPhone and iPod touch version.

    Overall there's a lot of game here. Well made for those that like to sit down and play for hours or just play in quick bursts. If you enjoy strategy games, you'll enjoy Plants vs. Zombies.

    There's a reason Plant vs Zombies is one of the most popular Iphone games - and it's not just the moonwakling Michael Jackson-zombie. It's also a deep, satisfying and addictive tower defense game that's one of the best of its genre.

    Plants Vs. Zombies is another must-have game for the iPhone/iPod Touch, especially at the more-than-acceptable asking price of three bucks.
