Overview

Similar to other tower defense games, but even more advanced, Plants vs. Zombies sees players planting different types of plants, each with their own unique offensive or defensive capabilities, across the front lawn, back lawn with a pool, and roof of a house in order to stop a horde of zombies from devouring the brains of the resident living inside. The zombies also come in a number of types that have different attributes and abilities, with zombies that can tunnel or pole vault over obstacles, balloon and Zamboni riding zombies, Thriller-inspired dancing zombies that can raise others from the ground, as well as zombies that wear armor such as tin buckets or carry shields such as screen doors that make them harder to dispatch. Do not forget zombies that ride on pogos.

The game also features extra modes that are unlockable as the player progresses through the game's main Adventure mode. These include Survival Mode, Puzzle Mode, and a selection of Mini-games including zombie themed versions of PopCap games Bejeweled and Insaniquarium. In the version made for iPad and iPod Touch, a mode called Quick Play lets players play their favorite levels over again. Players can also purchase items and plant upgrades with money dropped by zombies or won by playing these extra modes. The versions available through Steam, on the iPhone/iPod Touch, on the iPad, on the Xbox, on the Nintendo DS, DSi ware, and the Game of the Year version also feature Achievements.

Featured Article: Zombie Yeti

The Zombie Yeti is the hardest zombie to encounter, only appearing when replaying 4-10 after beating Adventure Mode. When it is killed, it will drop five diamonds and can appear on later levels, dropping four diamonds there. Unlike other zombies, it will run away after a short time.

The Zen Garden is a virtual garden where the player keeps plants that have been collected, usually from Presents. They are the same plants used in the game, but do not attack as there are no zombies. It is an alternative, non-competitive environment obtained by completing the Adventure Mode level 5-4 for the first time.
