    I consider Plants Vs Zombies the highest point of Popcap. His biggest success, and personally the best of all casual games to date. A strategy video game that combines good humor and a great soundtrack, with IMPECCABLE gameplay. Perhaps many people find it quite easy, but the way in which all the game mechanics are used is in the survival mode.

A strategy video game that combines good humor and a great soundtrack, with IMPECCABLE gameplay. Perhaps many people find it quite easy, but the way in which all the game mechanics are used is in the survival mode. This is where you have to put together and take advantage of strategies with your 49 plants!!! Besides that this version is better than the PC version in every way, including better graphics and more content to a game that already had it. The multiplayer mode is amazing, although it is a shame that it is only local and does not have an online mode. I have also noticed that the PS3 version is easier than the PC version, since you have the bushes to predict the movement of the Zombies (especially useful in the foggy levels), and they usually give you many more plants for the zen garden. , which will give you much more money. Although this may be because there are more items in the store, such as the ability to buy and upgrade your house. If you already played the PC version and you liked it, or you didn't directly play it on any platform, I recommend that you switch to this version. The improvements in gameplay and content make it worthwhile! And if it wasnt enough, if you are lucky to find a physical copy of this game (is so rare) you would also have Peggle and Heavy Weapon, two other excellent Popcap games and they are also upgraded both graphically and gameplay wise! As controversial as it sounds, along with Bejeweled this is possibly the only casual game that is a masterpiece and its physical copy is one of the best games in the PS3 library in my opinion.… Expand

    when i bought this game i honestly expected to be wasting my money. its a defense strategy game, its cute and lacking graphical prowess, its charming and what the hell can a plant do against a zombie? you plant plants they throw seeds at incoming zombies ....pixeljunk monster fans this is all you

    This version of Plants vs. Zombies is the best out yet. The game looks great in HD and the controller feels like a natural fit for this game. A great game that's another PSN must buy.

    Really funny and the defense strategy really works. It's cute, charming and looks good. If you liked pixeljunk monsters you'll probably like this. After a while it does get a bit too easy.

    Simple, effective TD game that will keep entertaining for a long time without a load of stuff to learn before you can play. And family friendly too! Despite the zombies in the title.

    It's pretty much the same game as any of the other releases. If you already own it then there is little point in getting this one, but if you haven't played any then I highly recommend it.

    The game is awesome! Get it by any means now. Extremely addicting, several mini-games, a good soothing challenge for those tired of the mainstream FPS or any other media that's usually pushed down our throats to buy.

    Plants vs. Zombies is rich with content and I think it's one of the best 'tower defense' games on the Playstation Network. The game looks great in high definition, and the controls are simple and easy to pick up on. Once you beat all the main levels, there is still tons more to do. Co-op is good fun, and the survival mode can be addictive.

    What do you get when your mutated garden is your only defense from the undead, this game!
    Right away, I gotta admit, I didn't like this at first, simply because the levels start out slow and the night levels were boring at first. However, as you progress into the game, the challenge ramps up and you have to think on your toes.

    Probably one of the best tower defense games out there, that has lots of extra modes that are a nice distraction from the main game. Pop Cap made some pretty fun games, in the past and this is one of their crowning jewels.

    Overall: A great game that starts slow, but builds up fast. LOTS OF FUN, once you get into it!    … Expand

    Charming and hard to stop playing. See for yourself what all the fuss is about. [April 2011, p.81]

    There's a reason PopCap has ported this game to almost every platform under the sun, and its embrace of zombiemania only hints at it. As with brains this is delicious. [April 2011, p.78]
