Enjoy Playing Plants vs Zombies
Back in May 2009, PopCap Games released a quirky title. Plants stand guard at a front yard gate and block a zombie rush. You place living green defenses across a lawn. Zombies show up, shuffle across the grass, and try to reach the door. That simple setup reached players fast and climbed charts in online stores. The odd mix of cute blooms and undead foes made people spread the word.
Gameplay feels easy from the first match. You snap down a sunflower. It turns sunlight into points. You spend points to drop a pea shooter. Peas fly at shambling zombies. More plant types join the fight. A walnut stands firm. A mushroom wakes up at night and fires tiny spores. Player eyes stay on a sun meter. Every impulse to plant costs points. Smart choices keep zombies far from a front door.
Bright art brings the backyard to life. Cartoon tunes play. Waves of zombies inch closer each minute. New stages introduce fog patches after sunset. Another scenario moves action onto a roof. Fans loved those odd twists. PopCap kept pushing a plant army into fresh settings. One follow up sent greenery on a time travel trip. Another turned the fight into a tabletop style battle. Many players keep starting a match with a grin.
