    Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville takes the foundation of the Garden Warfare series and expands upon it. No longer is the game just about competitive multiplayer, there’s now a wide variety of co-op activities for friends to play through. Whether you’re a fan of Garden Warfare, or new to the Plants vs Zombies series, there’s something for everyone in Battle for Neighborville.

    Outside of the server issues, I’ve certainly enjoyed my time spent with Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville. It’s a solid follow-up to a unique shooter series that I don’t think gets enough attention, and if you haven’t given this series a shot yet, this would certainly be a good jumping on point. It’s a nice alternative to the more serious multiplayer shooters out there and even serves up a solid alternative to more like-minded games like Overwatch. You may want to give it a little time to iron out some flaws here and there, but definitely check it out when you get a chance.

    Plants vs. Zombies Battle for Neighborville is a beautiful title. We have fun online with different modes of play. Teamplay is important but playing alone s not be the key to success. A time of adaptation is required to master the game and its gameplay. There are a lot of things to do in the game and the title takes on a more significant scale when played with friends. A good surprise in short.

    Oozing with things to do and inventive classes to do them with, it elevates the act of shooting plants and zombies to fresh heights. [Issue#169, p.97]

    Considered that "Variants" has been completely taken away, and "Abilities" are simplified, Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville definitely failed some expectations, but now it is more rookie-friendly. We can still have tons of fun within, thanks to the new characters and maps.

    Battle for Neighborville doesn't go out of its way to surpass expectations, but it's a silly, strange, joyful game – one I'm glad was greenlit.

    While the art, gameplay and music are fine, it feels like EA made a game so exclusively for children that their parents won't want to play it with them, leaving them to be influenced alone. Even if you can tolerate the tone and have the wherewithal to not spend too much money on DLC, Neighborville is fine. It just won't be your best purchase EVAR.

PVE is such a leap from the previous games with epic bosses and hilarious quests. The new characters are great additions especially the combiner characters (acorn and space cadet). Battle Arena rocks and scratches that competitive itch.

    I hope they add new characters or variants down the road    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The only good thing about this game is the bosses in the campaign are cool and the wizard is a alright character. So this game took away the 2 best parts of the previous to games, the varients and the packs. First, this game took the varients and got rid of them even though they were the best part of both games and all they had to do was copy and paste them and it would be a 6/10 game and don't say they would have to change all of them for art style because Gw2 made a ton of new varients in the first place so that can't be much harder. 2nd is the pack system were you got like 10 items were you use at least 1 thing from them and in this game, you spend 30,000 hard earn coins on some random hat that you'll never use which comparing that to the previous 2 games, a 20,000 coin pack got you like 2 or 3 cosmetics, a few plants/ bots which they got rid of that system and made most of them when you plant them you have to wait a minute or more to plant again which is a weird change but back to my main point, you would also get a part of a sticker of a random character and maybe like a weed plant or zombie plant things which is way more bang for your buck. They also removed bosses from the backyard battleground place which remove the challenge from doing it by yourself and also got rid of doing that last stand were you have to protect the flag. Also, the backyard area is way bigger and more confusing, I mean you walk around doing random things for these small plants for 10 minutes to figure out and go to all the places and I still can't find my way around 20 hours and 2 weeks later. The multiplayer is also terrible considering no one is playing this game and every time I want to play battle arena it's not there for the weekly game mode.
    Overall, this game is garbage and I understand why Popcap and EA abandoned it along with the entire series for now anyways. They hopefully revive the series one day and make a Garden warfare 3 that's good and everyone forgets this exist even more.    … Expand
