    I absolutely loved the original Plants vs Zombies, but this reboot just doesn't cut the mustard I am afraid. Dev aimed at kids ... I'm sticking with the original.

    Nach 100 Spielstunden kann man sagen, das Spiel ist Schön und Schlecht zugleich. Warum ? Keine Lobby um mit freunden zu Spielen. Kein Server-Browser.

    Nach 100 Spielstunden kann man sagen, das Spiel ist Schön und Schlecht zugleich.
    Warum ?
    Keine Lobby um mit freunden zu Spielen. Kein Server-Browser. Die Comm. besteht nur aus 12 Jährigen Vollhonks, die sowas wie Teamplay erst lernen, wenn ihnen da Haare wachsen wo die Sonne nicht hinscheint. Mich eingeschlossen. Teleporter aufbauen und auch noch bewachen ? ROFL ja ne und wo
    ist MEIN Spass ?
    Der Patch ? Lächerlich und viel zu spät. 20.000er Packs bringne keine Char Bilder mehr. nur noch Kosmetischen Krams. Das geheule und gestöne seiner Mitspieler ist abschaltbar ? Ja, Denkste.
    Klappt leider auch nicht immer.
    Der Startsound benutzt die Einstellungen ? ne, warum ? Soll das ganze Haus doch wissen was man
    Spielt und neue Boxen braucht man danach auch.

    Der Netcode ? Ist ja wohl das allerlezte. Man steht vor seinen Gegenspielern und trifft. (Fadenkreuz Rot) Der Spieler bekommt aber keinen Schaden.
    Cheaten wird das wohl nicht sein. Obwohl Level 255 Spieler ... na egal.
    Die Karten sind voller Clipping Fehler. Spieler können Problemlos durch Felsen und Mauern schiessen.

    Wer ein kurzweiliges Spiel ohne irgendwelche Ambitionen sucht, ist hier willkommen.
    Alle anderen, die auch so blöde sind und glauben man könnte Teamplay betreiben, glaubt weiter an das
    gute bei EA.    … Expand

    This game already has a huge hacker problem, people with the ability to 1 hit kill players are just running rampant destroying the experience for everyone.

    On top of the hacker problem this game is just way too pricey for what you get, it's just not worth buying so avoid it.

    Garden Warfare is a solid, but interesting FPS, but I get no connection to the PVZ EA-servers since end of August. Sadly I wasted money on this.......

    This game is almost a carbon copy of tf2 except it is worse and soppier and makes me want to throw up and worst of all only 3 ways to play but that doesnt matter anymore as the servers shut down really quickly. next time if you are going to knock off a game make sure you dont make it this bad or dont knock it off at all

EA, you have really bombed with this one. The game seems unfinished in some areas, and there were so few players, I literally couldn't even get into a match that had more than 1 or 2 other people in it when I went online. What a shame, because this was one game I was really looking forward to after a recent boring game release season.… Expand

    #THIS IS A REVIEW FOR THE PC VERSION OF THE GAME#

    Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare is a third-person multiplayer game with elements of tower defense game. Giving us a unique mix of gameplay elements and design, but there is one issue with the final product that brings it down to an unplayable state. The issue is LACK OF PLAYERS, wait. Not only a lack of players but NO PLAYERS AT ALL.    #THIS IS A REVIEW FOR THE PC VERSION OF THE GAME#

Giving us a unique mix of gameplay elements and design, but there is one issue with the final product that brings it down to an unplayable state. The issue is LACK OF PLAYERS, wait. Not only a lack of players but NO PLAYERS AT ALL. No matter what gamemode I selected, the game started "Looking for really great game sessions..." occasionally this only took a few seconds other times it could take almost an hour but it always ended in the same way. AN EMPTY LOBBY.
    Now this issue wouldn't be so bad if the game had a single player but that is to much to ask for. Which is sad when DICE's Battlefield franchise has gone to the effort to incorporate some highly scripted tech demo into their latest release.
    But this is not all doom and gloom, it has shined new light on a feature I have been waiting to try in the Origin client. The Origin Great Game Guarantee, which within a few minutes had fully refunded the amount that I had forked out for this pile of rotting corpses.    … Expand

    Although the game has interesting features, there are clear imbalances in the class. Nothing to add on Team Fortress 2.

    The real reason I gave this game a bad score is because there is rampant use of aim bots and scanners where you find the top 2-3 players on either team using it. Pretty easy to spot in-game if you ever ran into some in previous games. Just google pvz aimbot etc. I    Although the game has interesting features, there are clear imbalances in the class.

    I reported SO many players yet I see them still playing.

    Sadly the game is unenjoyable when you get sniped left and right so easily.    … Expand

    Very fun game but it has one flaw no split screen multiplayer :[. They should add it in the next xbox 360 update. So my sister who just got xbox live can play with me. So please add it in so we can play on the same console.

    Garden Warfare gives out a weird vibe. It has solid gameplay, cool look and almost no game-breaking bugs, but it doesn’t have a heart. As if even its creators did not care about their project and made it only because the higher management told them to.

    While this game might have the look and feel of a "family friendly" shooter, the reality is that the people playing it are of a standard to make it one for the shooter veterans who want a change of scenery from the brown wasteland battlegrounds.

    If you are looking for a fun third-person shooter, well-crafted, rich in content and sold at a honest price, there's really no reason not to install Plants Vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare on your PC.
