    Nothing like previous incarnations. Current version is more like a first person shooter which is ridiculous because plants by their nature don't run and jump. Also, all plants must now be offensive because of the fps aspect. Previously there was a wider range of options with more strategy.

Previously there was a wider range of options with more strategy. Also, there is essentially no single player aspect to the game anymore. An EA account is required to play which is ridiculous. Furthermore it has lots of pay to play options which doesn't provide a level playing ground unless you drop some cash. This game is no longer fun and nothing like it used to be. If you want this type of game play there are plenty of other options that do it much better. Also, multiplayer is no fun as the connection is frequently aborted and the match-ups are uneven.… Expand

    This game is still awesome. I feel it is better than the sequel. The multiplayer is so much fun, I could play it for hours.

    I would give this game A 9.5 on ten!
    The multiplayer is SUPER ADDICTING
    and so is the Co-Op but they should have added
    more Co-oP modes!

    Very well thought out game, dozens of modes, and amazing gameplay! overall, I recommend this game, mostly for younger players, as it has no blood, or any type of adult content. cartoon zombies with guns is the closest thing to adult content this game has. the only thing it needs is a good offline mode. to be precise, you cannot play this game offline, and to play online you need Xbox liveVery well thought out game, dozens of modes, and amazing gameplay! overall, I recommend this game, mostly for younger players, as it has no blood, or any type of adult content. cartoon zombies with guns is the closest thing to adult content this game has. the only thing it needs is a good offline mode. to be precise, you cannot play this game offline, and to play online you need Xbox live gold. a campaign mode would be nice though...… Expand

    The gameplay alone makes this game amazing, not to mention the great maps and gamemodes.

    This is just a fun simple game then has some quite chaotic multiplayer moments. The best mode by far was capturing or defending territories- and then the final territory to defend or capture was a huge base-this part of the game got very chaotic. The plants and zombies classes were all very unique and fun to use.

There was not much to the game but it also did not do much wrong.… Expand

    With a variety of interesting characters and well-balanced gameplay, Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare should have been a perfect entry-level team-based FPS, letting younger and more casual audiences learn about the fun of meeting others online and shooting them in the face. Sadly, the frustrating unlock system puts a damper on that, and it never manages to make players feel rewarded for playing.

    Like homemade fertiliser, it does the job, but not like the proper stuff. Also, it whiffs a bit. [May 2014, p.67]
