    This is a guideline for how to properly review games. Many reviewers like to get a “feel” for a game, and arbitrarily give a game a score that they believe it deserves. This results in wildly different scores between different reviewers, and vastly different scores between similar games. This guideline addresses these problems and scores games fairly and consistently. This guideline also gives scores that are usually similar to the metacritic score.

    The review score is based out of 10 points. There are no “half” or 0.5 increments. It is impossible to have a score above 10 or below 0. The review score will change as the game gets new dlc, drops in price, or if more secrets are found through the game increasing its appeal.

    The scoring is split into 6 sections. The first five sections can add a possible 2 points to the final score. The first 5 sections are Single Player/Multi Player, Gameplay, Visuals/Story, Accessibility/Longevity, and Pricing.

    Notice that 3 of these sections have two parts. These particular sections will be scored based on the stronger part of the game of the two. For example, if a game has a lousy single player campaign, but an excellent multiplayer component, that section will be based solely on the multiplayer as if the single player did not exist. This allows games to be based on their own merits, as many unnecessary features are shoehorned into video games by publishers to reach a “feature quota”. Games that excel in both areas of a section don’t receive should be noted in the written review, but cannot increase the score past 2 in that section. However, it can be taken into account in the final section

    The final section can add 1, add 0, or subtract 1 to the final score. This final section is the “wildcard” section. This section is for how the reviewer “feels” about the game, but limits this only to this section, rather than the entire 10 point review. This section can include any positive or negative point that was not covered in the previous 5 sections.    … Expand

    I’ve never been a big tower defense guy but there is something about this game that I’ve always kind of liked. It’s probably a mixture of the strategy involved, the cartoony style and simplistic gameplay. This is a game that I’ve sat down and played many times but I’ve never actually beaten the game. It was on Steam, it was on sale so I picked it up.

    If you don’t know what Plants Vs    I’ve never been a big tower defense guy but there is something about this game that I’ve always kind of liked. It’s probably a mixture of the strategy involved, the cartoony style and simplistic gameplay. This is a game that I’ve sat down and played many times but I’ve never actually beaten the game. It was on Steam, it was on sale so I picked it up.

    If you don’t know what Plants Vs Zombies is, it’s essentially you vs Zombies. What you use to defend yourself against Zombies with plants. You can shoot them, eat them, slow them down or light them on fire but the thing about Zombies is. They keep coming. That’s the tower defense aspect of the game. Sometimes they come during the day, sometimes it’s at night and at the end they try getting into the house via the roof. As you progress through the campaign, you unlock more effective plants to use against the Zombies.

    This is a fun game, I was a little surprised to see this game on Steam if I’m going to be honest. I always thought of this game as a mobile app but honestly, it’s a well-made game. Not only is there a main quest but there is also mini-games and several puzzles to solve. I ended up putting 50 hours into this game. There is a depth to the game that is unexpected but and when you deploy thoughtful strategies and they work out. Its an extremely rewarding game. This game has me thinking that I should give more tower defense games a chance.    … Expand

I don't get why it isn't considered as a 'Must-Play' in here. Story is funny especially with its terrific DAVE the neighbor character. Plants are funny, zombies are funny. The feeling of progression is terrific even if some strategies kind of ruin the play once you get to know them. It goes the same for upgrades : some really save your life when you need them to. Levels and environments are as varied as colorful. Mini-games offer different gameplays. Boss fights are amazing. Easter eggs are hilarious to find. The main story is still quite short (as you can see, 'Plants vs. Zombies' seems to have been designed to be a kind of mini-game itself) but after that, you can play it again in a more difficult mode ! Steam achivements are really hard and long to get. Also since a level lasts between 5 and 15 minutes it can feel truly repetitive, because all you have to do is a) plant sunflowers, b) collect enough sun and c) invest sun on defensive plants. Again and again until the boss appears. Clearly fun to play but well... Not more than something like 7 to 10 hours. (I only persevered in order to get the achievements of course.)… Expand

    I really games like this on the app store. Too many games are adopting the free to play style with ads, micro transactions, and a quick hook which fades away after a week.

The shop is a van where you can buy minigames, plants, and much more. The almanac gives small descriptions about each plant and zombie which'll likely make you chuckle.

    The only real way to describe this game is just that it's overall pretty good. Even though it holds your hand the whole way through, and there is not too much extra content, it is overall very charming and fun to waste a couple hours to try to beat this classic.

    The interface is wonderful. You have so much information immediately available to you. Google Maps always has a minimap in the lower left corner, which gives you a good overview of the area.

    Plants vs. Zombies still holds up against other tower defense games, it's fun and well made. But the problem is that the PC version is just horrible! It's inferior to the console versions in every way.

With its clever mechanics, charming characters, and addictive progression, this game offers a unique and engaging experience that appeals to players of all ages.

    At its core, Plants vs. Zombies is a tower defense game where players must strategically place various plants to defend their home from hordes of quirky and comical zombies. Each plant possesses a unique ability or attack, requiring players to carefully plan their defenses and adapt to different zombie waves. The gameplay strikes a perfect balance between accessibility and depth, making it easy for newcomers to pick up while offering enough challenge to keep experienced players engaged.

    The progression system in Plants vs. Zombies is incredibly satisfying. As players advance through the levels, they unlock new plants with different abilities and gain access to additional gameplay modes and challenges. The steady introduction of new mechanics and zombie types keeps the gameplay fresh and exciting, ensuring there is always something new to discover.

    The game's art style is vibrant and whimsical, with charming and memorable character designs for both the plants and zombies. The colorful visuals and playful animations create a lighthearted atmosphere that is instantly appealing. The attention to detail is evident in the variety of plant and zombie designs, each with its own personality and quirks. The delightful sound effects and catchy soundtrack further enhance the game's charm, making it a joy to experience.

    Plants vs. Zombies offers a wealth of content and replayability. The main Adventure mode provides a substantial campaign with multiple levels and increasingly challenging stages. The mini-games, puzzles, and survival modes offer additional variety and gameplay options. The inclusion of a Zen Garden, where players can grow and care for their plants, adds a relaxing and rewarding diversion from the main gameplay.

    The game's intuitive controls and user-friendly interface contribute to its accessibility. Whether playing on a computer or mobile device, the controls are simple and responsive, allowing players to focus on the strategic aspects of the game. The clear visual cues and helpful tutorials ensure that even novice players can quickly grasp the gameplay mechanics.

    While Plants vs. Zombies is a highly enjoyable experience, it does have a few minor limitations. The difficulty curve may feel uneven at times, with occasional spikes that may frustrate some players. Additionally, the game's reliance on repetitive gameplay mechanics can become somewhat predictable after extended play, although the introduction of new plants and zombies helps alleviate this issue.

    Plants vs. Zombies is a shining example of a tower defense game done right. Its addictive gameplay, charming visuals, and rewarding progression system make it a standout title in the genre. The game's accessible nature and universal appeal have garnered it a large and dedicated fan base. With its whimsical charm and addictive gameplay, Plants vs. Zombies is a must-play for anyone seeking a lighthearted and engaging gaming experience. It earns a well-deserved 9/10 rating for its enduring fun and replay value.    … Expand

I said plants at least 3 times in that sentence. also, you cant use plants like spike weed in the pots cuz, how the hell is that thing supposed to fit? anyways, there are a ton of memorable minigames like I. zombie, vase breaker, portal combat, combat, and especially last stand, and I haven't even gotten into the soundtrack in this game! the OST in this game is really good, especially the roof wave and pool wave for me. this is a 9/10 game for me.… Expand

The original PVZ has the best casual gameplay I've run into; it doesn't get boring but is never stressful. I also want to point out that this does not have any of the problems other tower defense games have, so much so that I didn't even realize it was one until around my 8th year of owning the game. Overall an amazing game, just short of a masterpiece (which I believe if the original release included multiplayer it could be considered a 10/10).… Expand

    Plants vs. Zombies is a huge game with a great sense of humor, and while it tends to play itself once a strategy is completed and the field of fire constructed, putting it all together and experimenting with the possibilities stays fun for a long, long time. [Summer 2009]
