    The pinnacle of 3RD Person Shooters.
    Multiple unique characters with their own unique abilities, paired with several different variants of each character adds endless replayability.
    Several different gamemodes and tons of cosmetics.
    So much more content at release than most other AAA games that release today.

    Quite fun for what it is, classes are distinct and varied, if not a bit simplistic and unbalanced. Graphics are decent enough and controls work fine. There are better FPS games out there, but you could do much worse.

    Plants bs zombies garden warfare is a game made in febuary 25th, 2014. It is a 3rd person shooter and a Huge jump from the defense games. Today I will be reviewing things from this game!
    Part 1: game modes: the first game mode is garden ops, in this mode you have to defend your lovely garden from 10 waves, or endless if you do co-op, of zombies. Pretty self explanatory.
    The second-fourth game mode is welcome mat, team vanquish and classic team vanquish,
    Welcome mat is team vanquish, but every kill or death you get, you get more health!
    Team vanquish is a mode where you and your fellow plant/zombies friends try to get 50 vanquishes! Classic team vanquish is literally team vanquish but only starter classes.
    Garden and grave yards is a mode where you capture a plant or zombie base by standing in it, and in the last base there’s ether a golf ball you gotta push, denoting bombs, or shooting a giant sun flower! :subrnation is kinda like capture the flag but you don’t bring a flag to your base. Vanquish confirmed is like team vanquish, but you gotta collect dead tokens from knocked players to ad vanquishes. Part 2: plant abilities:
    Pea shooter can shoot out a chili bean bomb that acts like an gernade, his pea gatling is like a minigun, but you can’t move with it. And the most annoying ability in the WHOLE entire game, hyper. I will explain at the end of this review. Chomper has spike weeds to trap zombies in to swallow them easily. He can burrow under ground to ether get to a place faster or eat a zombie from under. He also has goop that makes zombies a lot more slower, one flaw about the chomper is that he can easily get knocked down by stun gernades, and can’t swallow an engineer in a jack hammer.
    :sun flower: sun flower can heal people and herself with the heal beam and the sun flower pot. She has a beam ability kinda like how pea shooter has one. Cactus is a sniper plant that can send out a drone, potato mines, and wall nuts for protection.: chapter 3: zombie ability’s: foot soldier has a jet rocket to make you get to high roofs, and a rpg shooty thing to easily knock out plants. Engineer can use a jack hammer to get to places faster, and can build a teleporter!
    Scientist can teleport and heal team mates, and place little mines to blow up plants.
    All star can use a blocking thingy like wall nuts, he can do a powerfull charge and a imp bomb!
    Chapter four: variants: variants are different types of classes In the game. The variants are: fire: electric: toxic, auto and semi.
    Each plant atleast has one of these. ——SKIP TO THIS PART IF YOU WANT A FULL ON PART REVIEW Chapter 5: full honest opinion: this game can be quite fun! Especially getting kill streaks, or playing modes with your friends for like 5 hours. The only flaw is that now, servers are not to active so modes like vanquish confirmed, gnome bomb are not to active. And annoying ways people play as characters. Such as pogo peas, there a pain in the ass if your on zombies team. They constantly bunny hop to not get targeted, and if the hyper is done, they run for there dam life. Plus, the ranking system is pretty bad so it could take years to get to 313. Ignoring those flaws, this would be a 10/10 game. I think it’s a 8.5.    … Expand

    Fun, multiplayer game. Single Mode is non-existent. No pay to win dlc or microtransactions makes the game very pleasing and the classes which you can upgrade and customsize makes you keep making progress.

    Great FPS- First Person Shooter. Lots of mods so that you can customize your character and the sticker packs are a great way to add an element of chance and a good remand for the coin reward system. Great to play with your kids, it'll stay entertaining and you can show off different characters, teach them to budget etc.

    This game is so fun to play.
    The characters are cute and the gameplay is hilarious for most of the time.
    I have reached level 100 before I really moved on to another game and I think this is my favorite online PVP shooting game so far.

    This game is remarkable for the shear fact that it's made by EA and isn't terrible. I played this so much. There are extremely varied character classes, all of which I enjoy playing as. This is a great game.

    Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare has put an interesting spin on shooters around the world. This game is very unique and enjoyable. The awesome cartoon-like graphics are very entertaining and definitely make you want to play the game a lot more. This is especially good if you have children. The only downside is like most shooters, it gets very boring after a while.

    The game is a rip of. You need PS Plus to continue, which stinks because I'm not asking my parents for PS Plus which only lasts a year. I wish it was unlimited. Also, the walkthrough was good.

    Had this been clear as we made the buying decision, we might have gone along with it. But because it wasn't, EA has created a pester-power monster in my living room and I'm having to teach my kids about the sneaky tricks companies pull to gouge money out of ordinary folks and talk them into returning the purchase.

    Not acceptable EA. Money back time.    … Expand

    I honestly feel like this game is more for people who enjoy online games but can't get into games like battlefield or call of duty. It's very easy to get into and the overall design of the game is very kid friendly. And yes, you need PlayStation plus to play this game (seriously, why is this a surprise? Sony said it many times that you need to pay to play online.)

    Highly addictive game. Thought the basic characters are gonna get boring but you get more and more unlocked characters as you play the game. Every character changes your gameplay and brings your interest more into the game.

    This game is surprisingly great! Smooth graphics, fun gameplay, responsive controls, lots of content, game modes and so on. You can play co-op, you can play versus multiplayer, and it's just a whole lot of fun. There's no reason to NOT try out this game. If you need a shooter to play and you are bored of your usual dude-bro titles, then this will be a fine pick for you.

    As good as the Xbox One release, Garden Warfare is very funny and entertaining but it's not a tough competitor for Call of Duty or Battlefield.
